Y’all, we got snow! *twirls like Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music* There was a chance of snow a few weeks ago, but it didn’t make it this far south. Now, many of you may live in areas where snow is a fact of life, but around here, it’s as rare as hen’s teeth. (The last time we had snow at our house was 2018.) When the forecast hints that we may get snow and/or frozen precipitation, I become a big kid. While I may be calm on the outside, on the inside, I’m all pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease. So, when snow was predicted for January 21st, all of my fingers and toes were crossed. It started snowing shortly after lunch and continued through the next morning. We ended with a respectable four inches, and, for once, we didn’t get a layer of sleet to top it off.
Yes, that four inches shut everything down for a couple of days, which makes northerners snort and roll their eyes. However, we have reasons for our caution. Here in the South, we don’t have snow tires or equipment to clear the roads. Okay, Atlanta has sixty snow plows, but the rest of us just have to wait for everything to melt. However, the biggest reason for us to stay off the roads is because we don’t know how to drive in the snow; it’s best for everyone if we just stay home.
In true southern weather fashion, last Wednesday, we had snow on the ground, and this Wednesday, the temperature is expected to be seventy degrees (Fahrenheit).🙄 I know we’ll have a few more cold snaps before spring, but I doubt we’ll have more snow. So, I’ll leave you with a few photos.

Oh, I am in the same about snow. It wasn’t very frequent in D.C. So exciting when we finally got a snowstorm.

What a beautiful treat! Four inches is totally respectable. And coming from Portland, where 1″ shuts down the city, I get it.

I’m surprised that snow shuts Portland down.

Snow is pretty rare, and like your area, nobody knows how to drive in it.

What a treat for you Linda! It is pretty and pristine, which is how snow should look, then cars drive over it and/or people trample it. I have been outside shoveling snow early on a Sunday morning and it feels like the snow seems to hush the normal outside noises and the world is peaceful. Your photos are lovely and I’ll bet that contender does end up as your 2025 Christmas card.

I worked a half day before the snow moved in and had a conversation with coworkers about how quiet the world seems when it’s covered in snow.

Yes, it is very peaceful with snow covering the landscape. I wish it could stay like that … now ours is in the ugly stage, brownish, pitted by street salt and human/critter footprints.
