Ocracoke Snow!

 I have lived in the island more than thirty years, and, this is the biggest snowfall in that whole period of time.

It started snowing about eight pm last night and didn’t stop until noon today.  The accumulated total this morning was ten inches and by the time it stopped we had a good eleven inches on our decks.

Josh Goforth is with us this week.  We couldn’t get out of the house until Josh, who is staying in our guest house next door, shoveled a way for us!  In no time the path was again filling with snow.

We rode all around the village looking at the beauty everywhere.  It is almost unbelievable!

When we drove out to the beach, the wind was bone-chilling, but, we had to take a look at snow down to the ocean.  The strong winds not only blew the snow, it sent us all back home in a hurry!  What a fine day!
