A South Carolina Snow

It does not snow too often in South Carolina; the last time that I actually remember a true snow event was January 2011 when I was 9 months pregnant with Drake. Last Tuesday morning, it was predicted that we would get around an inch of snow and by noon, it was starting to fall. Schools starting closing at lunch in anticipation of this event, which accumulated a total of about an inch and a half.

Drake has been asking for snow for weeks, so I am glad we were able to deliver on his request. I think they had been learning about snow and his biggest desire was to play in the snow and build a snowman. We told him that if he took a good nap that day (he always takes good naps at school), when he woke up, the snow would be falling. Drake was able to play in the snow and build a snowman...only after David swept up the snow from the deck and used a bucket to pack the snow. Evie was less than impressed by the snow and slept through most of the falling...and melting. We did have one happy dog though that enjoyed every minute of the snow.  

The best part about snow in South Carolina, it melts so fast that it does not have time to get gray and gross.
