Snow Day in Charlotte!

Well, for the first time in almost the two years that I have been in Charlotte I woke up to some unfamiliar white fluffy stuff that from the north we call , snow! Let me just be the first to say that it was actually quite pretty coming down. Here are a few pictures that were taken outside the townhouse where I live. These pictures were taken later in the afternoon. I wanted for all of you to see that even though I live in the South it does get cold enough to snow. It might not be the same at Ohio, but it was quite refreshing seeing the seasons change! I didn't suit up to play in it, but it did remind me of numerous times I would freeze outside with my brothers playing in the snow in Ohio. My family could tell you that I'm not one to be outside when it is cold b.c my hands and feet get cold so quickly, but I do enjoy a little snow from time to time.

The funniest thing though about the snow is that if there is a possible threat of snow or ice the states of North and South Carolina go into shut down mode. This was considered a winter storm today with about 2 inches of snow, rain and sleet that were to follow. As I was traveling to the go ol' Walmart today I would that a lot of area businesses and restaurants were closed due to the weather. I had to laugh a little about it thinking to myself what would happen to this city if they had about 5 -10 inches of snow. What would everyone do? I know that they don't deal with this weather often so it makes sense. The areas roads and highways were limited with traffic. Most people don't travel or if they do are stocking up on water, break, and firewood. Nothing short than being prepared!

They are calling for possible freezing rain tomorrow so we'll see how this affects the city of Charlotte!
