Tessa Goes To Town

 February 13, 2014
Athens, GA

Finally, this morning, we woke up to a little bit of snow. Overnight, one inch of fine snow had fallen on the frozen sleet, and things were walkable. I tried on my own at first, then went back to get Tessa, and we went for a 3-hour walk all across campus and downtown Athens.

There was minimal traffic, we just spotted the occasional Jeep. Those Jeeps sure love to come out to play in the snow. On Washington Street, there was no traffic at all - usually such a busy street, it was a bit surreal to see this. 

By the end of our walk, the snow was melting fast, so anyone who slept in didn't get too enjoy it as much. I am so glad we got up early!

 High foot traffic.

Yes, we went wild!

Winter Storm

December 20, 2008
Southeast Clarke Park

My Tessaroo making a mad dash through the field in search of her "quail ball". It was a rushed outing. A few minutes later, the clouds dumped a load of rain on us - we got a good soaking but thankfully, the Nikon was unharmed.

That was yesterday. We returned today on our way back from a photo trip, and oh my God was it cold! Within 24 hours, temperatures dropped from the upper 60s to the 40s with a wind chill in the 20s - ouch!

"There it comes!"
