A Snowy Day on Deerpark Lane


This is the street where I live and it's an unusual site to see it look like this. This is Charlotte, North Carolina located in the low lying Piedmont area of the state. A rock's throw from the South Carolina state line and a two and a half hours drive from the Blue Ridge mountains. This is truly a rare occasion and one that this neighborhood likes to celebrate. It is especially exciting to the kids who woke up early to hear the words, "SNOW DAY, NO SCHOOL", from the local news station. Time to find those buried sleds in the garage, blow up those inflatable tubes and find any piece of durable plastic that's big enough to put one's posterior on and find the biggest hill so that you can fly!  For the rest of us we will sit back and watch the multitude of birds at the feeder. Look for the snowmen and women popping up in various yards. Keep the hot chocolate warming on the stove and add another log to the fire. It's been a memorable day for everyone and one to keep for the scrapbook.
