This is nothing to some of you but enough for us here in the Carolina Piedmont to lose our minds. (Except DH, Mr. I Grew Up in the Front Range.) Snow still falling. Cantore is not here, happily for us. He’s at the Outer Banks, which may get 8 inches. 🫣

Yard with bushes and porch/type freestanding swing in 5 inches of snow.

Today seems like a great day to reread Fahrenheit 451. And then maybe rewatch Inherit the Wind. (I like the one with Spencer Tracy)

Cover of Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451–figure of a man made of book pages stands on a small pile of burning books. The figure’s head is down with one arm raised above the shoulder and that hand in its forehead.
