Schools Out – Snow Days Baby!

You have to give Durham Academy in North Carolina credit for creativity with this one…
Snowing here again right now so not much chance of kids seeing school tomorrow in most of North Carolina.
Ice, Ice Baby….

I hope Vanilla Ice won’t mind me borrowing, but the term does fit.
It was incredibly cold all day yesterday – the high was about 23 degrees. I must say though that ice WILL apparently keep most people home. The road nearest me that seems to have cars moving by 24/7 – was as quiet as a cemetery after about 2pm yesterday.
Today the temperatures rose a bit to 42 degrees which made things less slippery but a LOT more messy. I found that the far end of the lake is frozen fairly solid when the dog, Cato, decided to try a bit of ice skating – without the skates! Fortunately, he did not venture far once the ice begin to make cracking noises – and he made it safely back to drier land.
Good day for wood stoves, pot roast, and something good to watch on TV. A long nap can easily be added to this blissful weekend mix!
Here’s a link to a loop of the web cam over the past 18 hours or so. Interesting to watch the snow/ice melt from the dock and the shadows of the trees race by on the lake:
