Brrr!

Welcome to the North Carolina winter.  In case you're new to the area, the typical (at least for this part of NC) winter is mild temps in December, really cold temps in January with maybe a snow shower, really cold early February, winter appears to end in late February, and then some freak winter weather (i.e. 3-5 inches of snow or bitterly cold weather) shows up out of nowhere. 

This morning it was 15 degrees here in Durham when I got up.  I thought my hands were going to freeze off just walking from my vehicle (which is my dad's van without heat) into work.

I will say this though, the snow that we got Sunday night and Monday morning was absolutely gorgeous.  I will never tire of seeing snow falling and accumulating on the ground.
