Last of this snow storm

There was not a lot of snow, but the cold temperature kept it visible.  

Great Decisions

The League of Women Voters of Montgomery County is part of a program called Great Decisions which is offered by the Foreign Policy Association.  A group gathers to discuss policy issues.  It is held at the library community room.

Snow coming down

View of the snow coming down.  The view was through the windows of one of the new agriculture research buildings at Virginia Tech.

Winter dusk

The new Center for the Arts is not lighted yet as snow started.

Stark cold day

The weather is news today.  The morning was almost spring-like at 38 F but winter has returned with expected low of 0 F.  

Snow plow truck

Yesterday, trucks equipped with snow plows were poised along the major highways.  There was not a large accumulation of snow, but enough to use the plows.

Roanoke Regional Writers Conference

Roanoke Writers Conference seems a good gathering for writers to share and network, and learn.  Thank you Dan Smith and Hollins.

Rocks and trees

Cold weather with beautiful clear sky.

Spaces designed for collaboration

From the fourth level, one can see several of the spaces designed so people can interact and collaborate.  It is in one of the new College of Agriculture and Life Sciences buildings.  This building is shared by Food Science and Technology and Biological Systems Engineering.

Another snow scene

Snow seems to create black and white photos.

Snow at the Hill Course

The Blacksburg golf course, The Hill, is also a great place to sled on snow days such as today.

House among trees

Seems a quiet setting.

White houses next to each other

The trees add a majesty to these homes.

Water tank

Cold today with blue sky.  The trees almost hide the water tank.

Rushing water

Winter afternoon.

House seems to be lived in

Just some old photos of the stages of the changes in this house.  It was lifted up; additions were added; the porch has classic lines.   It still fits in the neighborhood.

Historic home

This home on Progress St. is in the Historic District.  Its owner was my friend and I had the opportunity to visit it many times.  Those were the good times.

Skateboard Park

The clouds seem to add drama to the skateboard park.

Social House

A few months ago, this very old building was white when it was a framing business on Main St.  The building is being restored to the era when it was built.  I think this color may be what it was when it was a home.  However, it will be a restaurant.

Black House turrett

Progress on the remodeling of the Black house.

The weather has been cold and sunny today.

Ag machines

All the machines at the Virginia Tech urban horticulture facility seem ready to go.

Steel on the Brownstone

Interesting watching the steelworkers on this building.

Hill and clouds

A winter day with clouds above and below the hills.  And there are deer in the field.

Sunset in the Valley

Across the Catawba Valley as the sunset this evening.
