Got some white stuff up here too … I think the total was either 6 or 7 inches. The wind was strong blowing the snow around … but it finally stopped snowing and its calm again and we got sunshine! So thankful for no power outage. We have numerous gingers, a yard full of them. The one that is most fragrant is the white Butterfly ginger and it is my favorite plant. It blooms for 5-6 mos. We have Hidden Ginger, Pinecone, Spiral, Dancing Ladies, Shell, Varigated and Yellow Torch. Dancing Ladies has a mild but very nice fragrance but the others have none. Also fragrant is our Angel Trumpet tree flower. Also Night Blooming Jasmine is lovely and Moon Flower and of course Gardenia...oh and the Plumeria(Frangipani) is very nice I love your pics of snow! So beautiful, so pristine! Carlin's hippy dippy weatherman is still one of my favorites! "Tonight's forecast.....dark. Changing from dark to widely scattered light in the morning." Hilarious stuff! Susan, did you live in Louisiana back in the winter of 2017-2018? If you did then I'm sure you remember the big storm that shut down the entire state. I was driving along the 16 mile bridge going from Baton Rouge to Lafayette when that storm hit. Drove it at 35 mph max and it was just insane! Ice and snow were accumulating on the bridge and there is no turning back. The car kept losing traction and it was nerve racking. The guard rails aren't particularly high and the swamp was a good ways down so if someone went over the railing they were a goner. By the time I got to the end near Breaux Bridge they had shut down all the interstates. My little pack of vehicles were the last ones coming from the east. But God was with me. As I sat with my car idling I grabbed my phone and was able to get one of the last three rooms available at the Holiday Inn Express right there at the exit.
