My Snow Day

I have lived in the South for over 11 years now, and although I feel I can most probably still drive in Northern snows OK, I prefer not to drive much in the snow down here.  That is for a number of reasons, #1 being that there is seldom enough snow to warrant the purchase of the big plows and sanding trucks like up North. #2 a large number of native Southerners are not accustomed to driving in the snowy conditions.  #3 if I don't have to go out in it, then I won't!  Nothing is open anyway! Because #4 they can't plow and sand the roads as well... because of #1...

 
As I walked out to clean off my car at 8 AM
 A few photos of the wintry wonderland in our yard...

A look at Dad's car before it was cleaned off...

The pots on the potting table, partially under the eaves...
 Then, what to do with an extra day off from work... play with clay!  
I have been having some technical difficulties with the handles on the large mug.  I re-worked the mold and hopefully they will stop cracking on me!
mugs!
 I was able to get a few more rounds of pouring done today... concentrating mainly on mugs, my orders are waiting, and my supply is in need of replenishing...
studio clutter!
Who knows what the weather has in store for us tonight... hopefully, we will miss out on the freezing rain and sleet... schools are closed again tomorrow... not sure if we'll be open yet, depends on the road conditions...
