I can’t wait to celebrate my birthday tomorrow by melting into a puddle from this heat🫠🔥

For real tho, please use sunscreen, stay hydrated & stay inside or under the shade as much as you can, folks! Don’t underestimate the heat!😅

This corn snake visited me this morning! He wasn’t very talkative, so I didn’t want to bother him and ask for his name. I’ll call him Sam. Keep up the great work, buddy.🐍
Corn snake. Spotted in Myrtle Beach, SC. 6:20 am, April 27, 2025. Knows where he’s going and I’m proud of him. 8/10.

This week in downtown Myrtle Beach, we spotted a couple of adorable Ohio State pups! They were super friendly & chill. Definitely a fun site to see while we were out reporting on tariffs🐶❤️ 10/10

The board & superintendent are discussing how best to communicate with each other.
Board member Howard Barnard said the board needs to be briefed better b/c he doesn’t want to learn more about a situation thru the press than thru the superintendent.

Hey, I know I mainly have a SC audience on here, but I’m originally from Kentucky & this HORRIBLE physical therapy bill was introduced in the state legislature.

If any Kentuckians see this, PLEASE call your representatives!!! This would be so bad for anyone seeking physical therapy:
Urgent Action Needed alert from the American Physical Therapy Association. This details why HB 416 should be opposed. Kentuckians should call their representatives to oppose this bill because it would be detrimental to patients & practitioners.

Myrtle Beach had a snow day, y’all!😍❄️

It was wild to walk on the beach & see snow instead of sand, to drive along North Kings Hwy & see small snowmen in the front yards of the old motels.⛄️

Pls stay safe & warm out there, everyone!! #SouthCarolina #MyrtleBeach #reporter #snow
Nicole Ziege, reporter for the Post and Courier Myrtle Beach, poses in winter gear in downtown Myrtle Beach around 11 am on Jan. 22, 2025, the day after a rare snowstorm hit Myrtle Beach. The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk & Skywheel are covered in snow during a blizzard overnight on Jan. 21, 2025. The city ultimately received about 4-5 inches. Snow falls on Ocean Boulevard in downtown Myrtle Beach on the night of Jan. 21, 2025. Tens of thousands of tourists shop along this street every year, but on the night of Jan. 21, the place seemed like a wasteland. Only several couples and a couple small families ventured out into the blizzard to experience the rare snowstorm firsthand.

Wrigley wants to wish everyone a merry Christmas & happy holidays!🎅🏻🐶
He was a gremlin this year, but Santa took pity on him and got him some presents anyway. I mean, how can you say no to that face??😍❤️ (Btw Wriggles is my partner’s puppy!)

Love donating books to the local library! It’s an easy way to give back to the community📚🧡 #myrtlebeach #reading #SouthCarolina

Good morning, everyone! Make sure to bundle up because it’s really chilly outside today!❄️

But honestly? I’m stoked about the colder weather. Maybe I’m weird, but I’ve been tired of the heat lately😂 #reporter #myrtlebeach

Totally forgot to post this after Thanksgiving last week. I finally got a pic with Wrigley, my boyfriend’s dog! Also known as Wriggles or the Wiggle monster. He’s a puppy menace, but we love him😍 #dogs #puppies
