This year we enjoyed absolutely pleasing winter here in Cary, NC. There were very few days of frost, cold temperatures to remember, warmer winter brought some beautiful foggy mornings. We thought, this year we missed the winter snow. 19th was very cold and rainy, I slept early listening to the rattling noise of freezing rain and next day morning I woke to the most gorgeous sunny day. It was Mahashivratri Day and earlier days freezing rains ended with gentle shower of snow covering one inch of ground, good enough to declare a Snow Day in Cary. Enjoy few pictures of snow clicked around my home during noontime on 20th February.
Female Northern Cardinal was patiently sitting on a patch of growing moss, gave me enough time to take her pictures.
I was 20 ft away so choose to use 18X zoom feature of Nikon coolpix S9100, worked well to get closeup. (click to enlarge)

Snow from Pavements and side walks was cleared by noon.
