Cold and rainy for the Durham Xmas Parade this year. But we all went anyway. We being spacegrrl & Jason, S & D, and me & Sarah. Jeez, gangs of married people traveling in packs....
Two of the highlights were new entrants the bagpipe band from School of the Arts and the NCCU marching band (the Marching Sound Machine!). The NCCU band were so good that we followed them along the rest of the parade route while we walked back to the car. Turns out they've been invited to the 2011 Rose Bowl Parade. Congrats to them. Durham represent!
One of the forecasts for this evening was saying there was a chance of snow during parade time. It didn't get that cold until after the precip stopped so no frozen white death from above yet. Altho I've seen (mostly via friends on Facebook) that's there's been snow in DC, PA (not unusual) and Houston (quite unusual) this week. Related to that, quote of the day to John Cole: "We have our first snow of the year, so clearly global warming is a hoax."
