Friday night around 9:45 pm, Lynn and I heard a thud on our second story kitchen window, and then moments later a ring at the doorbell. It took me off guard because we weren't expecting anyone, and we were on our third episode of Lost season 4 in as many hours, so were definitely a little out of it. When I opened the door, I was greeted by our neighbor Ray, who was decked out in pajama pants and a snow covered ski jacket. Ray asked if Lynn and I wanted to come out and play in the snow with his family, so we got our jackets on and went outside only to find many of our neighbors throwing snowballs, building snowmen, and enjoying the rare Charleston snowfall. I found out just how rare it was when a friend of ours about Lynn's age told us he had never seen this much snow in his entire life... and we had only received about an inch! Anyways, Lynn and I definitely got our fair share of winter weather last season in Boston, so we weren't quite as in awe as our neighbors about the dusting, but it was fun to share in their excitement last night. Here are some pics...
Ray enjoying the snowfall in front of our townhouse, and using our snow for his snowman. It was his son Owen's first time every seeing snow!
The morning after... unfortunately it seemed to be gone in the blink of an eye!
Ray's snowman. (actual size)
And just for fun, a comparison of snowfall between our two homes between this year and last! What a difference a year can make!
