S'FMtY: Seasons in the South

I have lived in the South my entire life. There are many good things about the South. Many wonderful writers have come from this part of the country. I believe Southerners invented sweet tea, which DH adores.
However, the South is lacking when it comes to seasons. We really don't have a wide variety compared to the Northern states. Which is why, for this week's picture, I will show you my snowman from when I was 4:

I was at my aunt's house for a wedding when it snowed. I had never seen snow before. Do you notice how the yard is scraped clean of snow so that I could have enough snow for my snowman? I was desperate, y'all. Try as I might, I couldn't get a tall snowman. I settled for a 2-story snowman instead of the traditional 3-layer. In my excitement, I didn't even think to dress my snowman. Poor naked, deformed thing. I didn't see snow again for many years...

be sure to check out We are THAT family for more pics!

  2. Oh, as a native Southerner myself, I completely understand. We scraped every smidgen of snow off the car bumpers and swing sets in desperate attempts to make a snowman...once every 12 years or so when white stuff actually fell from the sky.

    Thanks for sharing your photo.

  6. Yep. The blizzard of '93--18 inches in Rome where we were--is more snow than I've ever seen in my whole life. Put together ;)

  9. I don't think I have ever gotten to make a snowman that did not have leaves in it. :)

  10. I have several southern winter photos just like this! You learn to work with what you have--you obviously were a very resourceful child, much like I was, to scrape all that snow together.

  15. That is too funny! I didn't see snow until I was in high school. I remember when I was around 4 I went outside to play with the ice that was frozen in the grass. That is all I had to play with. Nothing like snow!
