With yesterday’s nearly record high temperature in the mid-70’s, it is hard to believe that Greensboro was recently in a deep freeze and, before that, under near record snows. The window of Scuppernong Bookstore on South Elm Street is decorated to remind us of the fun of a snowy winter day. The above photo features their display of Ezra Jack Keats’ 1962 children’s picture book, The Snowy Day.

Regardless of what the weather brings over the next month or so, it is nice to know that days are getting longer and the sunshine a little more sustained. Regardless of the weather, it is always nice to find a bookstore, order a warm beverage, and begin the process of finding something great to read.
