I think we’ve once gotten 6 inches? Probably was that 2021 freeze. It’s wild we get snow now. When growing up, I was lucky just to see snow only fall. Child me would be so upset that adult me gets actual snow lmao

It really is! One day I hope to visit my brother up north to see true snow again haha

They are on clear nights! Sadly they’ll gradually get harder to see as there’s so much development around here, it won’t be long before city lights pollute my area too much. If I move further north, I’ll get to see them even better than I do now! But you see them better on camera most days

Here we go! It’s definitely prettier in person

It’s kinda faint a lot of the time but lemme actually see if my brother has a pic of last night! It really is pretty when you have the right camera for it

Yeah it was maybe 3 inches at most? Not a lot in comparison to like what you get, but A LOT to us in the deep South

Oooooh I bet!! I also forgot we get the aurora borealis sometimes now too 😂 which I’ll take pics of it next time

Which actually, here’s a pic of that freeze I told you about. This was actually January of THIS YEAR. I forgot we got snow this year too.

First time was a month into owning my Jeep cause we had bad rain, and I didn’t see a puddle when going maybe 50mph on a highway. Second was very minor from ice because a turn was just enough for me to start drifting but easy to correct.

I hope you never experience it! First time is always scariest

Please do! I’m super curious

Oh for sure. Rain here is no joke and I’ve hydroplaned twice in my life. Hopefully it’ll stay that way haha

Don’t push yourself too hard! Hope you’ll get a really good mental health day when you do finally get it

Exactly how my brother left him for me

I only drove in the snow once when we had that big freeze to check on a neighbor because of everyone losing power. Was a short distance but thank god I have a Jeep, cause those slopes were gnarly

Agreed! The freeze I had in ‘21 (or ‘22) was pretty. There are so many photos of that whole week in my phone… despite us being without power for most of it XD

Big Bear was my first in-person exposure to snow (and real mountains, technically), and I’ll never forget it

I'm- kinda used to it at this point. Even though it doesn't change how little I like it XD

It's not as far north as you, but having been to Big Bear, California and North Carolina — it was interesting to see how night and day the cold temps are here and more northern states haha
