| It has been an exciting time here. Old Man Winter decided to grace us with a surprise snowfall! We have not had snow since 2009. |
 |
| Nothing was predicted for our area except for maybe some flurries. Well the flurries started up around 8 p.m. Thursday and didn't let up till about 3 a.m. Friday morning. |
 |
| I am a kid at heart so I stayed up watching it and going out to take pics through out the night. |
 |
| Before it was all over with I think about 2-3 inches fell. |
 |
| I was able to catch a few hours sleep but was up at the crack of dawn. Talk about a dreamy display! |
 |
| By the time daybreak arrived the snow had already started to melt. Over night we had a wind chill of 24 but once the wind let up that was it. It has not been cold enough here consistently to cool the ground so it was just a matter of time before it all started to melt away. |
 |
| Even though the snow was all melted for the most part by noon it certainly made for a beautiful winter wonderland while it was here! Did you receive any surprise snow from Old Man Winter? Sharing at: Savvy Southern Style |
Your pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marty! Lucked up on an awesome Christmas card for this year. LOL.
DeletePretty!! I know it was a treat for you. We get snow here about 3 times a year. This snowfall was a lot more than predicted. I just did a new post this morning. We have a least 10 inches and not melting!
ReplyDeleteCertainly a rarity for us. I remember it only snowing a handful of times growing up in Ga. It seems they get snow now more frequently.
DeletePamela,
ReplyDeleteNo snow in my area of north Texas, but we did have a hard freeze, 24°, Thursday night. Your photos are so pretty. Snow surely sets the mood for Christmas...
Merry Christmas,
Judith
Yes, it was bitterly cold for a few nights. I think it is suppose to be cold again tonight. Merry Christmas and thank you for stopping by for a visit!
DeleteIt was gorgeous. We are in Deer Park and we got about 2 inches.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you were able to enjoy it as well! We moved further north last year . If we had still been at our previous address they had only gotten a dusting.
DeleteYour pictures are beautiful...thanks for staying up so we could see your snow...ha! You got more snow than we did here in Indianapolis. My daughter lives in the DFW metroplex and they didn't get anything.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Donna. I am hoping next time....9 years from now LOL...that is decides to snow during the day.
DeleteSame thing happened to us in Mobile, Alabama! It was great fun while it lasted.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun while it lasted Joanne! So glad that y'all got to enjoy it near the coast as well. What a treat!
DeleteWhat fun! I used to live in your area, so I remember how amazing it was when it snowed one Christmas Eve. Your photos are beautiful. The snow on the wreath could be a Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteChristmas Eve 2004, we came out of the church after our candlelight service. The snow was softly falling. We are a small, very old country looking church in Houston. It looked like a classic Christmas card photo. Absolutely beautiful.
DeleteYes I remember that as well! That was my son's first Christmas. We didn't get more than a light dusting where we lived so we drove down to Seabrook on Christmas day where they had a few inches just to get his picture in the snow.
DeleteThe photos are wonderful and the house looks beautiful with those decorations. TFS
ReplyDeleteThanks Juanita! Happy Holidays.
DeleteWell, if you have seen on the news the Buffalo Bills played football in a snowstorm today in my neck of the woods, Orchard Park, NY. For us it's a scene that is quite familiar and so everyone was out and about as usual. It is beautiful when it is a light dusting and since I've lived in Western NY all my life, I can't imagine a Christmas without snow, although, believe it or not it has happened!
ReplyDeletePretty sure y'all up there think us Southerners are crazy! LOL. I am not sure I would be that over joyed with it if we had it all the time.
DeleteOh how wonderful that you had snow for the Christmas season in your new home...it looks beautiful Pamela!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was magical Shirley! Did you get any?
DeleteI'm so happy for you, there is nothing like snow for Christmas and your home looks amazing with all the snow around it.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! Jo
Merry Christmas to you as well Jo and thank you for stopping by to visit!
DeleteWow, now that is picture perfect. I mean that is something to see. So beautiful.
