Winter Wonderland

Yesterday we had a VERY unusual event for this part of the country: a massive storm that dumped snow all over the South, from Alabama through Georgia and beyond. Due to (thank goodness) the warm snap we had experienced the day before, the ground and streets weren't cold enough for much accumulation. But it was sorta pretty while it lasted!

Once it started, just before Noon on Sunday, the appearance of the ground and cars changed rapidly. In an hour the view from the back of my apartment building went from this...
















To this.















But work waits for no one, so I tentatively got on the interstate, driving VERY slowly. I did snag one shot looking out the window of the car....everything looked so beautifully gray and frosted.
