A lovely 5-inch snowfall here in Mississippi. I actually got to put on boots and have snow crunch under my feet as I walked the happy but befuddled dog leaving tracks from one mailbox to the next. Beautiful fluffy stuff in the tall pines, the Leyland cypresses, the Bradford pear trees, and frosting the muscadine vines. Meanwhile, the cat is still pissed off about the whole thing.

This has been a hell of a fall and winter. I have great hopes that the floods and freezes will eradicate a lot of our bug friends which have been wintering over for too many mild ones.
