President Trump has ordered that all flags fly at half mast for 30 days to honor former President George H. W. Bush. The above photo was taken last night at Greensboro's Piedmont Triad International Airport. With 14 inches of snow and the winds holding the flags erect, the flags stood out at eye-level for travelers. While the airport wasn't closed, very few flights made it in or out yesterday.
With 12-14" of snow falling yesterday, it was the 3rd snowiest day on record in Greensboro. According to WFMY 2 News, and as measured at PTI Airport, yesterday, as of 3pm, it had snowed 12". On March 3rd, 1927, 20.3 inches of snow fell and on December 17th 1930, 14.3 inches. With local schools and many businesses closed, Greensboro will be pretty much at a standstill today. If ever you were going to make a snowman, read a book, or clean house, today would be the perfect day to do so. Stay put! You will have the rest of the month to go to the airport to see the flags at half mast.
A surprisingly nice gesture Janis ☺
