YES we have had SNOW here in the Heart of Georgia!

Just want to share with you two memories of a WHITE world here in the Heart of Georgia.

It does happen once in a while...

This was on January 7 in 1988 and I was home by myself and captured this sight.Pieter had left on January 5 for Michigan and got stuck in Chicago on January 7 as they could not fly in to Atlanta as the airport was iced over...On January 8, Pieter called me from Atlanta around noon where he finally had landed.Now the painstakingly slow journey home via Interstate 75 as it took him 4 hours!Here in the South they have NO equipment for clearing snow...

Closed Caption (CC) available in Dutch—remember we always did create videos for Mom & Dad in The Netherlands!But if you watch on YouTube you will find Clickable points below video with English information and also links to matching blogposts with more insight info.
Thanks for watching! Hoping you all stay warm and cozy through winter.

Mariette, when Nel lived in Georgia, they got snow one year. It was a light snow, but she was surprised and excited to see it in her neighborhood. It doesn't happen that often, but you're right, every once in awhile, they will get snow there. Thanks for the little videos. I enjoyed them. Here, in the mountains, we get snow every Winter, and the workers are wonderful clearing the roads and making it a safe place to drive. Have a pleasant weekend, dear Mariette.

Can remember the excitement as kids in the south when we'd get flurries or even just a light dusting of snow. I bet those little birdies wondered what the heck that white stuff was. I'm not a fan of cold weather so definitely would want the snow to go as quickly as it came. :)

It's particularly challenging when there's snow/ice in areas that aren't equipped to deal with it. (It's challenging enough when you live in an area that does get snow and has the equipment!)

It is so enjoyable to see everything covered with show. We've had snow for a couple of days here. Now it is all wet and damp.

God bless.

Il paesaggio imbiancato è meraviglioso per chi scia.lo non ho mai imparato ,perchè i miei genitori avevano paura che mi infortunassi.Spero che tu abbia passato delle liete vacanze.

Es bonito ver nevar y sobre todo las imágenes que se captan de los paisajes nevados.
Besos.

Olá, amiga Mariette, que aventura do Pieter naquele inverno rigoroso, que tanto dificulta
os voos. Felizmente tudo deu certo. Os vídeos mostram bem as agruras do inverno.
Aqui no sul do Brasil, também temos neve, alguns dias do inverno, na Serra Gaúcha.
É bonito, mas é difícil.
Grande abraço ao simpático casal.

Lovely with all that snow! Here we have rain and the weather is sooo dull today. A rainy Sunday...
Best wishes for a happy & healthy 2023!

It's very surprising some of the places that get snow (but only rarely). It's very rare for us to get snow at our desert house, but it has happened!

It must be nice to have snow, but on the other hand it's also hard to make a normal life. I've never lived in the snow. I only saw it snow in Serra da Estrela, one of the few places where it snows in Portugal.

Seeing all that snow is so delightful for those of us living in the tropics!
Beautiful photos, dearest Mariette.

Hugs and blessings!
