On Sunday it snowed. And snowed. And snowed. Sunday evening it turned to ice and freezing rain, but by Monday morning it was snowing again. In all we had somewhere over a foot of snow. You northerners may scoff, but this is North Carolina, y’all, and that’s a LOT of snow for us.

Taken from my back door during the storm.

Today, Tuesday morning, most of the snow is still there-covering walkways and everything else. The main road in front the house has seen a single snowplow go through, making one lane passable. The road beside the house (we live on a corner) hasn’t been plowed at all and only a few cars have braved the effort.

Yesterday my husband helped a driver who got stuck trying to make the turn onto the road beside the house. He didn’t have snow tires and his low-slung car couldn’t push through the snow.

My side yard and my poor, bedraggled rose garden, buried. As you can this road hasn’t been plowed at all.
