February's Small Winter Event!

In the midst of this unusually mild winter, Winston-Salem finally got something that made us all remember: "Oh yeah: it's February." A cold air mass swooped down in time to join up with a system of Gulf moisture working its way up the coast, and so an inch or two of snow blanketed the area. It started right on time, at the predicted hour of 3 o'clock, and stayed mostly in the small-flake range.

Here are some shots from this evening.

With the flash; captures the flakes coming down.

Without the flash, just a few seconds later. Gave it quite an eerie look.

Cyprus's first experience with snow with me, and she liked eating it.
