Everyone else on the forum is giggling to themselves at us. Because we are so giddy about getting snow haha. We never see it! Hard to believe for some people but its true...

I know! Check out my vid in my GA snow thread. Even my dogs get excited by snow.

I know we were the same way. Our weather is about the same as GA. When it was predicted everybody was like "Yeah right". But we got it and enjoyed it

Us, too! It's been going for about 3 hours. I'm waiting for my daughter to get home from school. I'm hoping the roads are safe for the buses.
This would've been a good day for them to close the schools early.

I'm surprised they didn't! Hope she made it home safely

Same here, lol.

Have fun everyone. Stay safe and warm

 

Here they are folks, some pics! Some are big some are small....had to resize and crop and what not.








No camera tricks here I assure you. These are amazing IMO.

 

Amazing Matt! I wondered when you were gonna get the camera out
Carol

 

Wow Matt, great pics!!

 

Those pics are incredible, Matt!

 

Good morning. We have 6 inches of snow on the ground! Loving it.
lol Carol. I managed to get some photos during the night and I just took some this morning. I'll try to get them on line today.

My shade garden is completely ruined. It was shaded by Wax Myrtle Trees and now all of the trees are on the ground. So my 500 Hostas have no shade at all for this coming summer. Oh well....I'm enjoying the snow!
Ken (photos later today)

 

Those are some absolutely stunning photographs.

For those of you who are so excited about snow...I would be happy to share some of mine with you! I still have a snow covered street and almost bald tires.

 

Good morning everyone.

Well, I finally got my wish for snow! I've included a few photos below. I hope you enjoy them. It was wonderful getting to see the snow for the first time in many years. We had a lot of tree damage and my shade garden that contains over 500 Hostas is completely ruined. It was shaded by huge Wax Myrtle trees and now everyone one of them is on the ground. Our driveway is blocked with fallen trees too. I have a feeling the neighbors will be down later to help us dig out (so to speak).
Have a great weekend everyone!
Ken

 

That look great Ken I envI you. Sorry for your trees looks like it was an awesome tree. Great looking creek.

 

Aw, that's bitter sweet isn't it?
It looks so beautiful but really sorry about the damage.

 

Can I get some here too I saw snow passing by at Valdosta and brunswick last night. Bump for us passed by and nothing here. Amazing pictures.

 

Thanks Navy, Lucy.
Bitter sweet...very well stated Lucy. The chance for me to get to see the snow again is sooooooo worth it though! I went outside last night while the snow was coming down and found some wonderful peace of mind
Ken

 

Love the photos Slug!
Ken

 

Those are some fabulous pics, Ken! Don't you love the peacefullness first thing in the morning before anyone else gets up?

 

Beautiful pics Ken!!!!! Well at least u got your wish!!!!!!!We got it too!!!!

 

Thanks all.

Well the bad thing about having snow in South Carolina, is that it doesn't stay long at all. Its melting fast and falling off the trees this morning. I project slush by tonight with maybe some isolated spots still having it. Oh well we enjoyed while it was here! More pics to come today.

 

Great Pics Ken! Thanks
Carol

 

Ken those are some wonderful pictures! I bet it must look awesome

I wish it snowed down here LOL

all we get are floods

 

Whoa you sure did loose a bunch of trees! Up here we only got like an inch... not enough to bring trees down. It really is beautiful though!

 

My grandparents are down their right now, I don't think they were expecting snow, lol. How much did you get?

 

Hello Emily8,
We got close to 6 inches. Most of it has already melted.
Thanks for all the comments
Ken

 

Wow Ken looks like ya`ll got a couple more inches than we did we got about 4, hate to hear about all the trees down, we didnt lose any this time, Been there done that,
My kids loved it and I stayed inside and watched them freeze lol... Why is it when you ask a kid are you cold they will always say no but ya know they gotta be because their lips are blue and they are tremblin like crazy, lol

Wow. We only got about an inch up here. Is this the first time this year?

 

well it's snowing again we were suppose to get rain. Huby just called me ans asked if I had looked outside lately. Great big fluffy flakes are falling It's really pretty.
Carol

 

Thanks!
Enjoy it Carol! lol
Emily this is the largest snow we've had since 1989. It flurried for about 10 minutes last year and that was it.
Ken

 

It didn't snow for long but sure did come down hard but now it's all gone.
Carol

 

We are near Baltimore Md. I had 60 inches in the middle of my yard after the second blizzard as hI as my chain link fence. My fish have there own house in the yard so 3 times I had to blaze a new trail to the house. I am sorry for the loss of the wax myrtles and hostas My wife has the same setup in our side yard with wax and creap myrtle.

 

1989?! Wow. This seems to have been a big snow year for everyone. Up in DC, they've had 50 inches. I've heard it's ridiculous. Up here we've had 8 a couple of times and that was enough to call off school for almost a whole week.

 

Gorgeous Pic's Ken

Just curious... six inches of snow brought your trees down?

 

Hello Red.

Yes, they all fell from the little bit of snow. I lost every one of them and some of them are huge. Luckily (for us) there is a young man up the street that we've hired to do the clearing and he's starting today. He recently lost his job and needs work. He knows we'll pay him well

Wax Myrtle trees tend to lean over the years and spread out in every direction. They don't grow straight up. It was only a matter of time before they all fell over anyway. I've had to do a lot of pruning over the years.

Wow beautiful pics Ken:;gift Thanks for sharing

Ah I'm not famliiar with that type of tree but it makes sense. At least some good has come out of the loss though
