Snow day! January 2008

Ah, mid-week snow in southern Appalachia,

which dumped about 6 inches in Blacksburg. Snow alone typically doesn't close Radford University, my place of employment, unless there's more than the half-foot we received last week.

So it was a full day home in the snow, complete with frolicking on the nearby golf course. Here's some photos from the day, beginning with the fairway, and ivy on an oak tree below.



A final shot, at the end of the day, when it's time to leave the course and head home...
