A very noisy thunderstorm moved through the area about 5:30 am and woke everyone up! A thunderstorm in Winter?
Today’s temperature is a result of that warm and moist air and is very enjoyable!
Many Spring plants have begun to grow and a few are blooming. I think it’s time to plant the Spring garden?
I am loving this hellebore!
But sometimes Gus has the right idea:

The second winter storm has come through North Carolina. Yesterday, the drive did take twice as long to get home from work. Luckily , I waited to leave work until after the three hour traffic jams that were caused by everyone leaving work earlier in the afternoon had cleared!

Gus enjoying the snow last night!
The electricity went off about 10pm last night. So I went to bed. I woke up about three am and it was 27f outside but 60f in my bedroom so I went downstairs and brought Gus back upstairs to sleep with me. We kept each other warm! The electricity was still off at 7 am so I headed downtown to Cup A Joe for coffee, internet , and electricity!
Everything is covered in ice but the city roads we slushy but not bad!
When I left work yesterday afternoon the parking lot looked like this in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
It should slowly melt today as the temps will be in the upper. 39sF!
