Snow In New Bern


Today we had a great treat! Snow! Coastal North Carolina is not known for great snowfalls. Due to old man Gulf Stream, which flows so close to the shoreline, our winter weather is moderated accordingly. Today, however, was the perfect mix for a grand snow fall. With cold air aloft and plenty of moisture thanks to the aforementioned Gulf Stream, snow was in abundance.

We celebrated with sledding in the street and romping with Herbie. Sweet Pea was not amused.

Looks like fun to me. Poor Sweetpea, I sympathize. Our little Lacey had a hard time with the snow we had at Christmas several years ago. I had to find a spot with no snow to put her down in. It was hard to find, but about six inches out from the house on one side was protected enough that she didn't sink to her belly into snow. Actually, it was pretty funny.
