Whew!! these places rarely have snow fall during winter.. and now we have snow storm that affects many residence here. According to the news report, there were 100,000 Duke energy customers (Duke energy is the source of electric power) that have no electric power Monday morning March 2, in North Carolina alone... Oh?? I am just thankful to God that we are not affected.. Well, we have 6-7 inches snow but we have electric power. People are stuck up in their homes which is not normal in this state, much more in late winter? it is suppose to be spring in the next few weeks. But anyway, I am enjoying with the snow because this is the first time we have 6-7 inches for the last 5 years I think? because we always have 1-2 inches. It's fun!!!!

Hi Che, This is the only snow time that I enjoyed outside walking and taking pictures.. hahhaha.. It is not so cold compared to some other times.. no snow but very,very cold wind.. but now? Oh!! wow not that cold and I like walking in the snow... This is the first time we have this 6-7 inches for the last 5-6 years as what they said. I was just here for 3 years and we seldom have snow here.. if we have,, only 1-2 inches and once only during winter.. hahaha.. very rare... that's why I am enjoying..

Snowstorms are seem as devastating as the storms we have here in the Philippines. I'm glad my friend that you are not affected. It's hard to be deprived of electric power. You can no longer go online and that will be very boring! Ha!ha!ha!ha!

Well I live in new hampshire and we got most of that snow. Which I didnt know it was suppose to snow today and we got at least 10 inches of snow. I guess winter isnt over yet and probally wont be for at least another month but hopefully this will be the last snow storm we get for the year.
