Southeastern Ohio isn’t known for its snowfall. Rarely do we have large accumulations and when it happens, it typically melts in a few days.
We also haven’t had a white Christmas in recent years unless you count light flurries.
As we have learned, 2020 has been a year full of surprises and abnormalities. It shouldn’t be a surprise to any of us that Christmas would be different too.
I was thrilled when snow moved in on Christmas Eve, dumping six inches on my ridge in a matter of hours. The walk home in the snow that night was delightful and I was pleased to awake to more flurries in the morning.
Scout stood sentinel, watching the snowfall from one window and Bluejays from another.
I didn’t make it out with my camera but did snap a few phone pictures to commemorate the most significant Christmas snowfall we’ve seen in years.
I did feel bad for people traveling as the situation quickly escalated to a level three snow emergency (This system gauges road conditions and that’s as bad as it gets where I live) but was equally thrilled for the kids who got sleds for Christmas.
White Christmas or not, I hope yours was merry and bright.
You got far more snow than we did here!
It was a shock to see how quickly it fell and how much we ended up with. Do you enjoy snow?
I do not, at all, not since I lived through the Blizzard of 78. That did me in on snow.
Well then, congrats on not getting a bunch of snow!! 🤣
We moved into our new home during that one!
Oh my! That would be a chore!!
I’m jealous. But happy for ya!
Winter is young. Hopefully you’ll get yours soon!
Sounds magical to us Brits stuck with cloud and rain every year !! Hope you enjoyed the season Brandi.
It was the best gift this year. Magical is the word! Hope you enjoyed the season as well!
Ahhh so jealous! We usually do get a little snow in Jan or Feb so I am keeping my fingers crossed!
Oh wow. I never thought about you having any snow at all. That’s awesome.
I hope we get more snow here soon. It’s so weird how every year people seem to forget ever winter past and how to drive in the stuff. Always the same.
It’s like a form of amnesia!!
I’m from the Cleveland area and it was beautiful!
Oh, you guys get a lot more snow than we do!
Sadly, yes we do. I love the snow for about 1 day a year 😂 but it does make pretty photos!
I love snow but we don’t get so much here. Plus, you have the lake effect to contend with. Brr!!
Yes and sometimes that lake effect is ugly. If I have no where to go, I do love watching the snow fall!
