Snow in Georgia! How Fun!
The first day it was beautiful…. 6 inches of gorgeous snow. The weatherman called this snow, Thunder Snow which is a strange phenomena. While it was snowing there was thunder and lightening that resembles heat lightening….very spectacular! Then the power went out and we were snowed in for 38 hours….. trees and power lines were down all over the area.
I am very grateful to Georgia Power employees who are working tirelessly day and night to get the power back on. A big ” THANK YOU “.
One of the blessings of being snowed in was enjoying how beautiful everything was. My husband commented on the silence, no cars going by, no hums of appliances, no noise other than birds and animals….all seemed at peace.
Occasionally, we had a cell phone call from family and friends. We all were commenting on the beauty of the snow and sharing in the excitement of the day. Because there were few distractions people were “seeing”…..”really seeing”! They were making comments like; ” Did you see the way the sunlight causes the snow to glimmer? “, ” Look at the shades of lavender and blue in the shadows on the snow. “, ” The trees are twinkling with what looks like thousands of little diamonds. ” and ” The colors of the birds and animals in the fields were very bright against the crisp white snow! “.
It was a feast for the eyes!
I think that sometime we are blessed with little interuptions in life. This allow us to stop, see, enjoy and be grateful for life and the beauty of God’s creation.
