My grandmother retired to NC so I've spent a lot of time there. And then my cousin went to school there and stayed. It's such beautiful country, I even thought of moving there myself. As for the snow, people react much differently than they do here in New York. I don't enjoy driving in snow, but in NC it was even more nerve wracking since people tend to lock their brakes - even if it's just "a dusting." And when there's a real storm, people seem to just stay home, not that I blame them. I asked my cousin what she does, since she's an RN at a major hospital, labor and delivery, and she said that they just wait for it to melt...

Here's hoping you don';t get a major storm. We're expecting one at the beginning of the week and I'm dreading it. So much for Spring.

We don't handle snow or rain well, traffic wise, in my neck of the woods. This event shouldn't be so bad. The temperature is above freezing here and expected to rise. The worst snow event that I can remember was in March though. The poor flowers, birds and bugs must be so confused. I was looking at my blueberry bushes today with hopeful enthusiasm. I hope you don't have too much trouble. Thank you for the reply.

but it is starting to accumulate on the ground.

Out my front door





And an azalea that is just starting to bloom...

It was sprinkling with snow on my way to church early service, so I enjoyed being out in it very much. Once the service was over and I was back outside, it was snowing a lot harder, though sticking only to the grass and bushes and not the roads. A couple carrying a very small child of maybe 1 to 2 years old were just ahead of me on the sidewalk, and the child was soooo happy and fascinated by the snow, she was crying out, waving her arms, and laughing with delight. It was so cute and funny to see! The parents told me it was only her second time experiencing anything like this, so still very new.

I love snow, so understood very much how she felt. I was trying to catch some of the snowflakes on my tongue and laughing myself!

The snow gods rarely visit us in March.
