Gorgeous Carolina Blue Skies and Snow!


carolina blue skies, snow

It's not often that we get snow in our Carolina town, but when we do, I always enjoy the beauty of it. Usually, it has to snow for hours to get any accumulation but it started Saturday afternoon and it was a BLIZZARD for us! With in 30 minutes everything was covered. It was awesome! And the best part was that it's been warm enough that it didn't stick to the roads. We are not equipped to handle that here. Northerners love to make fun of our snow driving! 
Then there's the inevitable panic of being out of bread and milk!! What ever will we eat! Oh well, we can walk 2 miles through our neighborhood and be at the grocery store. I think we'll be OK.

 Here's a few shots of the blizzard yesterday! A bit dreary, but still beautiful! For those who get hammered with snow all the time, do you still find it beautiful?

    I love the snow - and find it extremely beautiful, especially at night as it's so reflective, it's magical. :) We get snow here in Northern England most winters. Not loads, but enough for a few inches on the ground. I'd be willing to swap some of our snow for your lovely warm, dry summers though. hehehe.

      I'm sure it's beautiful there. We do love our spring and summer here even though the heat and humidity can be tough for some. I think air conditioning makes us heat intolerant. On the bright side, humidity is good for our skin, right?
      Have a beautiful day Sally!

      I love how quiet it is after a big snow. It's already melting here and the green grass is coming through. :(
      Have a great Sunday!

    Oh, I do love snow and these photos are great! I live in the south of the UK and we normally get snow every winter. I love how when we do, people start buying up all the bread and milk, just in case! Love the blue sky and snow - it's pretty beautiful when it's warm!

      I guess it's just human nature to get those basic pantry staples.

    Hi, glad you're following my little blog ;-) Just had some relatives move to Charlotte - not used to the snow. I like your furniture make overs!

      It was beautiful! We wrapped up our house projects so we could grab a glass of wine and jump in the hot tub before it stopped! The hot tub in the snow is the BEST!

    IMO, that first picture represents the perfect winter day. Snow on the ground and the sun shining in the sky!

    We never get snow where I live either. I love that very last photo. So pretty. I like to see all the snowy photos, since I don't get to see it firsthand.
