Unexpected snow

Flurries were forecast, but the moist air had other ideas. We woke up to a wonderful blanket of snow and it continued snowing throughout the day.

In the South, everything shuts down for snow and/or ice. Today was no exception.

It was wonderfully quiet in the neighborhood, aside from the families heading over to sled at the local Community Center’s hill.

I took my cookies over for the pre-sorting for the Montford Tour of Homes this afternoon, and enjoyed helping plate up dozens and dozens of cookies for tomorrow’s tour (it’s a fundraiser for the Neighborhood Association).

The views out the windows tell the story, too.
