Snow on the Beach

I mentioned before that snow is magical to us Southerners. I believe it's even more magical on the beach.

The night before this snowfall, I acted the same way I did in elementary school. I felt too excited to sleep, I woke up multiple times to peer out the window, and spent many moments lying in bed wide awake with visions of snowy sand in my head. I couldn't imagine a landscape more pure; I couldn't wait to get up and walk to the beach. And at 8AM, that's just what we did.

I just want to remember this day... 

Said like a true daughter-of-an-interior decorator: this is my color scheme.
(But seriously. These colors = my favorite color palette.)

Truthfully it's more ice than it is snow, but the beauty is still remarkable!

 Had to get a pic of our doghter, of course. Proud parents.

 Yeah, she doesn't like the fur hood. She was happy till I popped it up for this pic. TINA! :)

Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: 
though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
Isaiah 1:18 ESV

    I, too, kept waking up almost every hour and looked out the window. Sadly, nothing but ice on the ground. It eventually snowed but only for like 30 minutes. Oh well, two days off of work was totally worth it!

    Love the snowy beach pictures! We just had a bunch of ice here in Mobile. And I definitely agree with the color palette - it's my favorite too!

    I've never seen snow on the beach before! Never really thought about it as a thing before either...living in FL not so much snow on the brain. Super neat looking though!
