As predicted we got a big snow. I don’t mind one snow a year. It makes us all slow down a little bit and it really is pretty in the mountains with the snow covering everything. We didn’t lose power and we have a reliable guy to clear our massive steep driveway. All in all, we made it through the storm with flying colors. Plenty of food to eat, warm house, kitties to snuggle and lots of books to read.
Enjoy a few pictures from our January 2022 snow.
This is why I bring in the bird feeders off the deck at night. Mr. Opossum came to visit last night and would have cleaned them out if I had left them hanging.
The deer were raiding the neighbor’s bird feeders which are at a perfect height for them now with the snow pack. They had tough going in the foot deep snow but they made it through our back yard and cut up through the side yard.
Our newly painted gray/blue house looks so nice in the snow, doesn’t it?
I caught a quick picture of the sunrise Monday morning after the snow had stopped. It was pretty spectacular before this shot.
Our driveway before we got it plowed.
Help is on the way!
One of the stalwart snow removalists that we can hire here in Connestee Falls. This guy has the right machine and even with the massive amount of snow that we had he knocked it out in record time.

Time to go out and tidy up and throw some salt down. Sun is out but it is still cold, cold, cold. These piles are gonna be around awhile.
Did you get snow? Let me know in the comments and remember to Comment for a Cause for Mountain Laurel Animal Rescue. And by the way, I am perfectly okay with this being our one and only snow this year. I hope someone hears that ….

Leave a commentWe don´t get snow here in this part of Spain, although we did get a dusting 5 years ago, Apparently it was the first time in over 50 years. It was gone by 10 o´clock. I spent most of my life trying to get away from snow. It is pretty but awful if you have to travel in it. Your pictures are lovely and I´m glad you didn´t loose electricity.
I was thinking about you as we watched all the forecasts. You are pros at snow. We have piles of snow. Heading to Florida next week!
It looks so pretty when it first arrives but it sure can mess things up. Ash is getting her first taste of a big snow and she enjoys it so far. I know there’s more on the way. Hope it won’t be too much more though.
Yep, we got some snow! I think anywhere from 5-8 inches. We had so much blowing and drifting that it was hard to tell!!! Mike had to clear some paths for the critters, but we all did fine. It’s sorta peaceful to be all cozy and snowed in! The perfect excuse not to have to run anywhere!
We were happy the freezing rain didn’t happen, and we never lost power. I loved the picture of the possum tracks with the tail tracks!
Didn’t get a foot like you did but we have a good 8 inches or so. It is beautiful.
No, we didn’t get snow or rain. The picture’s are so pretty. That is a lot of snow, glad you are comfy and don’t have to be outside moving the snow from your drive way.
Beautiful snow. There is nothing like fresh snow. VB only got fullies Sunday but expecting 2ins Friday night.
You got more than we did and, even after Wednesday’s rain, a lot of ours is still on the ground. Here in town I see a snowberg in the parking lot. At home there were clumps of frozen snow scattered over the not-a-lawn.
