anatomy of a snowstorm

cleaning off the top of my car this afternoon and saw the perfect anatomy of our snowstorm! about 6 or so inches of snow, followed by about .2 inches of ice (see the white line near the top) with another 1 of snow on top! but god loves north carolina, we were cleaning the snow off in sweaters while a neighbor shoveled (he owns a shovel???) in a tshirt!

buds on ice

pop up downhill

this happens on my street every time there is enough snow to ride a sled! street closes and 

the fun begins!
