Strange Happenings

I ended up spending some time this week in Baton Rouge on business, and before I left home in Colorado, I received this photo as a warning as to what I should expect upon arrival:

As we were landing in New Orleans, we could see clearly from the air the unusual whiteness around the area.  When we arrived in Baton Rouge, we heard the stories of power outages and accidents, and we saw some remnants of the snow, but mostly slush and lots of water from the melting.  Folks got from 1 to 4 inches depending on which part of the area they lived in, and everyone was talking about this very unusual event. 

I smiled as I listened to all the stories, and then smiled even more when one person said that this was the most snow they have had since before 1900! 

But that was yesterday.  Today, I was hot in a light sweater, and it’s supposed to be back in the 70’s tomorrow!  The strange happenings were not meant to last!  But it sure seemed like folks had fun while it lasted!
