SNOW at Sunset Beach 2010!

SNOW at Sunset Beach 2010!

Oh boy, did we get snow at Sunset Beach. Anticipating the snowfall on Friday, peope were busy stocking up supplies for our first major snowfall in years.  The big white flakes started falling on the island around 7pm Friday night and rewarded us all with a gorgeous blanket of snow by morning. Early Saturday morning I began my walk to work and narrowly missed falling many times. Words can not describe how beautiful, peaceful and serene the island was with snow everywhere.  Because we never see snow, I can only guess that we got about 3 inches, but it was perfect. Perfect snow for snowballs, snowmen, and snowcream. It was lovely crunchy snow that my kids have never seen at the beach.  The roads conditions were fine and carloads of people began heading on the island for photos of snow at the beach. The kids made the snowgirl complete with bikini top & sunglasses, we had a few snowball fights and had little luck at sledding, but we had a blast.  As quickly as we got the snow, it melted by Saturday afternoon.  In fact, guests arriving at the Inn Saturday afternoon barely believed me when I told of the morning adventures. Hope you enjoy the photos and hopefully you enjoyed the snow you got at home, too.
