We have snow

[Koronin]

Apparently it is a fairly rare thing for us to get snow here in Jacksonville, NC. At least that is what I've been told. I grew up in Ohio, and lived the past 10 years in Charlotte, NC where we had at least a small amount of snow every year. We got around 3/4 of an inch.

I'll trade you your 3/4" for the almost 2' we're expecting. Tried to walk Chloe earlier (who loves snorking through the snow) but with the wind along with the snow, she looked like the Abominable Snow Dog in just a few minutes and bolted for the door to be let back in.

The wind yesterday was nuts & it was blowing a bit when i was at the beach for a swim this morning.

Keep safe n warm if you're in the Northern Hemisphere!

This is crazy. We have over a foot in Upstate NY. I'm so glad I asked for cross country skis for Christmas!

It was funny reading an article in the paper on line yesterday about all the locals (those who have always lived here) running to whatever stores were open yesterday (mostly gas stations) to buy milk because of the possibility of snow. Apparently some of the Marines thought it was funny too since two of them were interviewed for the article and couldn't believe it. The roads weren't bad at all, they were only wet, yet people who don't see snow are afraid of them. Now tomorrow morning will be another story as I am sure they will ice up over night. There is very little equipment here to deal with snow or ice. I've seen one salt truck and I would be surprised if there city had a snow plow.
I enjoyed the snow today, but my idea is if it has to be this cold at least let me have a small bit of snow. I just don't like the cold and don't like the snow on the ground for 5 months a year.

I think this is the most snow sc has seen in the past 20 years. I had some people up the street ask me how to make a snowman with fluffy snow! (Spraybottle.) My bf couldn't get out of our driveway today. So we have a nice day off of work together.

I drove south down to Florida the day after Christmas - it was a long snow covered drive all the way trough south carolina. It was surreal. Then the temps were getting down in the 30s at night camping in the everglades.

Yes, it's quite rare in Jacksonville (NC)! My brother sent snow photos from Wilmington today, where it's even rarer. We got just a dusting here in Chapel Hill, farther north and west. Strange snow event!

Edited to say - sorry, I didn't realize this was an old post. But today was a bit of a repeat as southern NC (both SE and SW) got more snow than we did farther north!

We just got snow here today, too. What's odd is that it's our first snow of the season. We usually get our first snow well before the first of the year. I think we ended up with around 4 inches. It's a beautiful fluffy snow. I took my dog to the park early this morning and she really had a blast. Here she'd just finished plowing around and pulled her nose out of the snow . . . (she's a little camera shy but she'd been running around with her nose in the snow, nearly up to her eyes . . . )
