Many parts of the country have had frigid temps since before Christmas and North Carolina was no exception. It snowed 15 inches before Christmas and we have had several 2" or less snows since then combined with single digits at night. The Cane River is frozen over in spots with a dusting of snow on top of the ice.

BBBRRRRRRRR too cold for me!!

Looks like PA right now lol. The water picture is pretty. I love PICTURE of snow and winter.....brrrrrrrrr has been so cold. Great sewing weather though lol.

Margie

BRR is right!

Looks like us in Iowa right now. Maybe with the warm up some of it will melt before we get the next snow.

Where are you in NC? I grew up there, but in Greensboro...I'm guessing you're in the mountains????

PS, your dog looks mighty happy in the snow :)

Beautiful pics but toooo cold for me!

Brrr - My granddaughter got caught in this mess. She went home to NC with a friend from college to visit and before she could get back the snow came in (they live on a country road). They finally got the snow plow down their road and she is safe and sound. I used to live in Illinois and I sure don't envy you the snow. It's pretty but sometimes hard to live with. :-)

Looks like where we are (in hiding, of course!).

Love the river scene. Our river looks pretty much the same only a lot higher than usual.

How did the dog like the snow? :shock:

We are so fortunate to live on a road that is plowed quite a lot. I know some of my guild members do not have 4 wheel drive and can only get out when they go somewhere in hubby's truck!

Sadie is a big yellow lab that is very spoiled. She hangs out in front of the heater and acts like she is freezing, but had a great time in the snow, even though I was freezing! It was so cold and she was running in and out of the creek like it was summer!

Vicki, where are you in NC. That is my home state. I am hoping to get my husband to go back there for retirement in a few years. Hopefully somewhere in the mountains.

nice.

Sadie is gorgeous and must be a blast to watch.
I must say, you live in a beautiful place.

About 30 miles or so from Asheville---Between burnsville, NC and Asheville off of Bald Mountain.

Beautiful Pictures I use to live in NC and I miss it very much... :cry:

those are beautiful snow pics--i really need to get out and take some up here

Vicki, that is the area we hope to look at for retirement. I love Ashville.

I was born and raised in South Louisiana and have lived in NC for over 20 years, just not in the mountains. We love it here too. The people are very warm and friendly and the town that I live closest to has 2 quilt shops and a great guild. We couldn't have picked a better place!

I love the third picture!! So pretty!!

Oh my gosh, so pretty.. I am hoping we get some in SE MO.

Those are some beautiful pictures! So pretty! It looks like you live on a hill. It's hard living on a hill in that type of weather. I live on a mountain and coming down it during bad weather is horrible! Thanks for sharing.

I love the river picture!

OH my goodness. I delt with that here last year but none here now and I want to keep it that way so make sure you don't send that to Washington. Love your doggy :thumbup:

oh my heavens. *shivers*

The DOT does a great job of keeping the road clear so we have no problems going to town in my SUV. It has all wheel drive so all 4 wheels pull all the time, which gives you better traction even in the rain and is great in the snow.

It made it up to 50 degrees today and I am so glad to see the sun! There is rain in the forecast by Saturday, which is okay as long as it doesn't turn to freezing rain!

That's so beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

So idealic, thank you for sharing! I'm from Bogalusa, LA.! I have looked at homes in Sylva area, I love NC. Is that river near your house? so pretty! Your pictures could be postcards. I'm so happy that you have founds your little piece of heaven on earth and are happy. Sounds like you really did find the perfect place to retire. God Bless.

I grew up in LA, just west of New Orleans and really love NC. If I wasn't living here, it would be East Texas or North La for sure, but not South La. Too hot, and too flat!

I love NC.....so beautiful!! Thought I'd like to live there, but now I don't know, :)

Your pictures are GORGEOUS! I love the one of Icy River and the dog playing in the snow is darling. Don't kill yourself shoveling all that beautiful white stuff! Thanks for sharing.

I miss the snow - we get lots of rain!

My son lives near Raleigh,NC. That's alot of snow.

THE 3RD PIC WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL WALL QUILT.
OUR LAKE WAS FROZEN THE OTHER DAY, UNTIL 9 AM. I AM SO GLAD IT'S OVER. HOPEFULLY NEVER AGAIN.

My sister was saying the same thing about the photos. She said that she saw several landscape quilts in the photos.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures with us :D:D:D

That last picture is just beautiful! I don't know much about landscape quilts, but would that make a nice one??

we just moved from Arizona to Iowa... in January,.... I know , I know.... not the year to do it..... Your photos are beautiful. Now I have cardinals and frosty trees to take pix of instead of cactus flowers.... quilter1234

For the most part, I love the weather here. My neighbor says he can't ever remember such a big snow fall and he grew up hee, in this very house. I like the 4 in or so that melts after a few days!
