Day 162 - Snow In Charleston

I was searching through my Flickr stream for some valentines day photos when I realized that one year ago today, Charleston, SC was buried in snow! I know my buddies up north aren’t that impressed, but I think it’s surreal to see palmetto trees covered in snow:

The snow started vanishing by that afternoon, but the kids made the most of it while they could. They built snow forts:

Had snowball fights with the neighborhood kids:

Tried to make a snowman:

And of course, made snow angels:

With all of the snow that the rest of the US has gotten this season, we’ve been able to grin as we put on nothing more than a sweatshirt to stay warm here in the low country. These photos remind me that it’s very possible to be put back in our places with a good old fashioned snow storm. My hammock just doesn’t look so relaxing in all of that snow!

Don't Eat The Yellow Snow!

Looking back on the technical side, I should have manually set the white balance on these shots – it’s all over the place when using AWB in the snow.
