Winter Storm 2025

It is rare that it snows in South Carolina. Extremely rare. I think it's only snowed three times since we moved here almost 15 years ago. And it never sticks. This year we were warned that it was going to be a big storm. School and work were cancelled and everyone hunkered down. People around here don't know how to drive in snow and there isn't enough equipment to keep the roads cleared.

It was so neat to see so much snow. I love a little snow, but I don't miss a long winter. It started to snow at night.

And it was still there in the morning.

The chickens refused to come out. They stayed in the shed all day. They had never done that before - even on very stormy days. They weren't interested in setting foot on the snow.

Pretty crazy to see snow on a palmetto tree.

Two days later, we still had snow! That is definitely outside the norm. Usually it melts the next day.

Apparently a big dog visited our driveway.

The chickens water froze solid every day. I had to pour boiling water over it so it would melt and they would have something to drink. Even the water inside the shed froze!

What a fun, crazy time!
