A Southern Snow

My sister just called from sunny California to give me an update on the weather. She does this when she knows I'm freezing here in the south. It seems that it's somewhere around 75 degrees there and it's a balmy 45 degrees here. For those of you who care, it's 10 degrees cooler than it's supposed to be...and I'm not happy.


All of this weather talk reminded me of the snow that we had a few weeks ago. It started on a Friday afternoon and continued through the night. The images below appear to be black and white because the snow was falling so fast that it completely blocked out any light.


The next day the sun appeared but the snow stayed with us for much of the day.

Looks just like cotton candy.


I hope that's it for snow this winter.

Note: I wrote this post a week ago, thinking the snow was over for the winter. Today (March 2nd) it's here again. As my friend Susan would say, "Oy vey!"

One day I may learn to comment on blogs. The Comcast person would be me. Marcy, friend of Nancy and blog illiterate.

As always, great images. P.S.... Take it from someone who knows, snow usually looks better from a window seat with a bloody mary in your hand mb

Your latest two entries are an interesting contrast, flowers and snow scenes, both beautiful! We will love complaining about the heat this summer, won't we?
