More snow (and pictures!)

It does feel kinda wrong to not only be talking about snow, but posting pictures of it while my 'fall theme' still covers the blog. Oh well! This morning I listened to Christmas music on the radio as I drove through an early "winter wonderland."

Ok, so it wasn't the most exciting snowfall, but it is November, NOVEMBER, and the ground was covered in white! Well, it was dusted in white. It was exciting for me!

My first view of the stuff, around 6am

I stood in disbelief at the front door thinking, is this some kind of crazy pregnancy dream?



I figured it would stop and melt soon, so I took a few more before breakfast

Those strange green things growing are bulbs - they're terribly confused on what season we're in.

However, it did not stop and the sun rose so we could enjoy the wintery sight!




Yes, I am well aware that you probably need to squint and use your imagination to see the snow in these pictures, but in person, it was beautiful!



At this point I was starting to run late for work...

So I hopped in my snow covered car and hit the road.

I found some traffic, boo! But I also found more snow covered scenes. I thankfully did not crash!



Once I arrived in Raleigh proper, the snow was pretty much gone and there was very little on the ground. It made for a fun morning as I haven't actually driven in falling snow in a long, long time. I'm not sure if the 2 small snowfalls we've seen this week bear any indication of what we may see this winter. I'm tempted to get a snow shovel just in case!
