Blustery and Frigid

I know some of you will laugh at our "little" snow but it is very cold and windy here today and this is pretty significant for South Carolina. I had hoped the little dusting of snow we had a few weeks ago was it for the winter but unfortunately i was wrong. It started snowing around 7pm last night and snowed throughout the night. It is a very wet snow and we only got what amounts to about 2 inches. By the time I went out to take pictures this morning a lot of it had melted already. The temperature is hoovering right there at the freezing mark, going back and forth a degree or two. Sleet is falling but it occassionally turns to rain or freezing rain. Our satellite TV is not working but at least we have power. You never know with wind and ice how long you will have power. I think the temp is supposed to reach 50 degrees tomorrow so all of this should be gone quickly. I did brave the cold and wind this morning to take a few photos to share with you. Enjoy! I do hope this is the last of winter weather for us.
