We got mostly snow and sleet over night here in downtown Davidson overnight. There's a thin layer of ice underneath. The forecast is for more worrisome icing later Sunday. Stay safe. I saw a few cars and one fellow walking soul - @alan22da - as I went out to inspect at 8:15am. #morningwalk Waxing quarter moon on a Friday night. Calm before the storm? @renuenergysolutions was here today installing solar panels and a battery on our 130+ year old house. We and several neighbors got in on the Solarize Charlotte-Mecklenburg program, which offers discounts through group buying. We also got incentives from our electric company through a power sharing agreement. Those measures helped the project make financial sense. Here's the problem: Both programs have ended. So has the federal tax credit, which we actually missed out on. Rooftop solar is the simplest and cheapest way to quickly add clean energy to the grid. Without new programs soon, our electric industry will keep building costly new fossil-fueled plants, and keep raising monthly bills. Will our state and federal lawmakers act? Wednesday #morningwalk Tuesday #morningwalk Tonight's entertainment: Cellist Anita Graef played a concert of 20th century and contemporary solo cello music at @freerangebrew as part of the @wdavfm Small Batch series. She tied the night together by talking about the importance of J.S. Bach to cello, and ended with Bach's fourth solo cello suite. A great program, a sellout crowd and a fun venue. The beer was good, too! A gray Wednesday #morningwalk in Davidson. Sunday #morningwalk along the McDowell Creek greenway. A new street connection is under construction between Huntersville and Cornelius Sunlight on the Chambers building at @davidsoncollege , public art in the Book Garden by  @lydia_j_musco and other sights on the #morningwalk
