Snowy North Carolina

           So much for getting away from the cold weather. 

 

           The morning dawned cloudy and rainy, turning to mixed rain and snow. At 2:49 in the afternoon, it’s snowing for real, with the forecast 4-6 inches by the end tomorrow.  Isn’t this North Carolina?  Isn’t this supposed to be warmer than Maine?

 

          Fast forward to this morning.  Snow, wherever it is, is beautiful.  I was the only one on the road.  North Carolinians don't know what they're missing.

 

Early morning

On the road to town

          Internet is very slow here, so I’ve resorted to frequenting the library for internet access.  First snag, they have a very restricted network there.  No videos, no high graphic websites.  Solution:  VPN trial.  Virtual Private Network got through very nicely, nothing restricted now.  Ah, the joys of modern technology.  I might just keep the VPN after the month is up.  No tracking, no “targeted ads”, easy access to the sites I want, and secure enough to do banking online.  This morning, though, the library was CLOSED!  In fact, several places in the area had closed because of the weather.  Who'da thunk it?
