OK, I guess spring can’t be far behind-seeing as we've already had every permutation of winter a Virginian can normally expect, and the winter solstice hasn't even arrived.
In a repeat of last year, we had the warning of win-' ter in November, before some of us (guilty, guilty, guilty) had a chance to get bulbs in the ground.
Cold, wet rain yielded to frigid gales, which, unlike last year, were quickly followed by a substantial snowpowdery and deep for so early in the year.
That wasn't interesting enough, apparently, so nature added icing on the cake-an exquisitely ethereal hoarfrost.
Formed when fog or mist freezes, hoarfrost has crystals that are larger than normal frost-up to one inch long.
