Snow in New Orleans!

Yup.
Palm trees covered with snow.

Hangin out at WWOZ this morning, I got to watch the snow erupt outta the sky and obscure both the Mississippi River and the Westbank.





Snow stickin to the slate roof tiles.

Snow stickin to the palm fronds.
Snow on bougainvillea leaves.
Snow on the still-blooming roses.
Neighbors wandering the snowy streets at 9 a.m., wielding childlike grins and bottles of champagne.
People making ridiculous snowfolks on tiny tabletops.
People making towering, teetering snowpeople on the sidewalks.
Neighbors outside makin friends, sharing coffee and good spirits.

Welcome to my little Magic Town.
