We’re not used to getting two snowstorms in one month, and the second one dumped up to a foot of snow in our county. These photos are from January 4, 7, and 17
FIRST SNOW OF WINTER
We thought this one was a doozy. Little did we know.
PRETTY PINE AND PAMPASS
Snow, like icing on the plants in our yard.
ICED OVER NIGHT
The temperatures dipped, and enough snow melted to put an icy drip on the butterfly bush and bird feeders.
The poor birds were eating nonstop to stay warm, demanding that Bob fill the feeders once a day. We saw below zero temperatures for the first time in maybe ever, -4 Fahrenheit!
ROUND TWO
Ten days later, the flakes began to fall again and the birds queued up. Christine got buried. Bob measured 8 inches!
BRIGHT SPOT
The cardinals are eye-candy punctuating a whitewashed world.
WEIGHTED DOWN
We were surprised that none of the Leland Cypress toppled from the weight of the snow, and happy that none of the red tip branches broke under the strain.
CAROLINA BLUE SKY
This is what they mean by Carolina Blue. No filter.
GOT SPOT
Coming and going. Love how his ears get all round with mounded up snow!
FROM THE STREET
The junipers flanking our driveway lost two branches which cracked under the weight and had to be amputated.
