Every year we get one decent snow in the western North Carolina mountains. In past years it has seemed to come in December but this year January was the time that we managed to get a nice little snowfall. They had called it several days ahead and while the accumulation that was projected was not quite what we got we did get probably 3.5 inches of the white stuff which made everything stop for a few days.
I have definitely lost my love of living in a snowy climate but I must admit the past couple days of the snow on the ground has been a nice change of pace. Add to it that we have someone reliable now to plow our long steep driveway and it makes it so much better. I do not love shoveling snow – I guess I had my fill of it when we lived in Iowa.
So enjoy a few pictures from our snow day. It really was pretty. The good thing is that it won’t hang around for weeks – it will be all gone in a couple of days and I am good with that.

Leave a commentIt does look lovely in pictures. 😊 We had an amazing snow day on Christmas Day when we were in NC. They expected about 3 – 6 inches but it turned into about a foot and a half. Soooop much snow. The girls and I had fun playing in the snow but also enjoyed sitting in front of the fireplace and watching it from inside. It wasn’t so much fun the next day when Corey and I had to clear the driveway so we could leave to go home.
The snow is pretty nice to look at from inside the house. I like the picture of the Owl, it has character.
Very pretty!! After living in Portland, Oregon where we rarely got snow and it melted very quickly when we did, I was happy to once again be living in a snow belt. And believe it or not, 20 years later I still like it. Without snow, winter is just too drab and dreary for me.
What great snow shots! So pretty. I love the fun side of snow but not the work side. lol
Beautiful photos…. hoping we get just a little snow this year! The pic of Maxsim is my favorite. He’s so handsome!
Even I must admit this is beautiful to behold. As I gaze out my window at the snowy Minnesota landscape. Thankfully, we haven’t had any snow recently. Just a lot of foggy, grey days with rime icing the trees.
Pretty! Especially if you don’t have to go anywhere in it! We got our pretty snow more than a week ago and still have it as it’s been cold since then. We could use a bit of fresh snow to pretty it up again.
