we'll have weather tomorrow


A robin takes off from the bare branches of a tree the morning after a heavy snowfall in Danville


This winter has been surprisingly winter-like for the south - Danville has seen two snowfalls of more than six inches, with predictions for at least two more storms in the next week. I guess this is why most of America is not so fond of this season. It's still such a rare sight in the south that I relish the magic of it :)




A statue of the Virgin Mary praying with a rosary is covered in ice and snow up the hill from Sacred Heart Catholic Church following the first substantial snowfall of the winter.

A volunteer walks uphill from Sacred Heart after clearing the sidewalk around the Catholic church.


Skim boards and snow are a diabolical combination.

Pink silk roses stand out against a headstone in Mt. View Cemetery, covered in snow on January 30.

A statue holds a bouquet of silk sunflowers surrounded by a blanket of snow.
