Someone flipped the top off the birdbath last night. Probably a deer.
We had some melting yesterday that is now black ice. And wintry mix in the forecast for tomorrow. 🥶

Cool map. I was lucky to be in the light blue section where the dry slot was. ❄️
Here's our analysis of this weekend's snowfall totals across North Carolina. ❄️

Notably, portions of all 3 regions of the state (Mountains, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain) received more than a foot of snow!

Another newspaper from my grandfather's collection.

I love this headline. Not poetic like "one small step for man...", just stating the facts.

The sun is out, wind chill is 9 degrees F.
These tracks might be from a bird?

I just saw my Bird of the Day!
I heard him first and then saw him pecking away up in a tree close to the house. #Merlin #birds

Good morning! ❄️ Looks like I got a couple of inches. It’s beautiful and there are some interesting tracks in the driveway.
It’s light dry fluffy snow. I just cleared it all off the porch with the leaf blower. Fast and easy!

North Carolina and South Carolina have become two hot spots for growth in the United States. North Carolina was the top destination for domestic migrants in the U.S., attracting 84,000 people from other states last year.
The Carolinas emerge as new population boom states. Affordability and lifestyle drive growth

They just lowered the snow totals in my forecast from 3-6 inches to 1-3. Something called a dry slot will be over the Triangle. ❄️
I love snow but not in combo with this extreme cold, so the less we get, the sooner it will melt, I hope. 🤞

Hundreds of faith leaders from across the country convened in DC today to demand that Congress give no money to ICE. And they are getting arrested.
BREAKING: Capitol Police arrest peaceful faith leaders by the dozen.

More soon.

The Eno River Farmers Market just announced that they will be closed on Saturday due to extreme cold and potential snow.

Democracy is worth fighting for, but that doesn’t make the fight any less painful.

Rest when and how you’re able; build community at every opportunity; resist.

This Northern Flickr came to my bird bath and ate some sleet pellets; I’ve seen other birds and squirrels eating it too to stay hydrated here in the frozen south. 🥶
