Snowstorm of December 2008

Lafreniere Park

We seldom have snow in southeast Louisiana, especially a snow storm like this.
I have on my snow boots which I haven't worn since 1980 skiing in North Carolina.
Please check Breland's beautiful shot of my house in the falling snow
at http://www.pbase.com/image/106941668 and Scott Schexnaydre's shot at http://www.pbase.com/image/106978698.
The snow fell for about 4 hours.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Snow is wonderful when it’s rare. You look amused and happy in this unusual environment!

I can see that the snow has melted the ground near where you are standing!

I heard about your snow on the news and couldn't wait to come see your photos. How fabulous. We had a very light one.....didn't cover the ground. Love this one.
You look wonderful, by the way!

Today was awesome !!!! Even played hookey this morning to take photos !!!
Ed Preston12-Dec-2008 03:38
Heard you had about 4" of the white stuff! That's not fair, we've only had about 2" this season so far!

Might as well enjoy it, it won't last like mine will! :-)
Frank Wilson12-Dec-2008 02:16
This shot is just so comfortable. With the coat and scarf you look prepared.
Yvonne12-Dec-2008 02:14
Wow! This is such a pretty shot, I love that old tree behind you Coleen, lovely in the mist...

What a lovely early TREAT!
Guest 11-Dec-2008 21:26
It just started snowing in Ohio about a half hour ago... Hoping to go out and see if anything sticks and get a shot of it! :D Of course, I will have to post it someplace else. :(
joanteno11-Dec-2008 20:32
Now I have seen everything - snow in NO...
Monte Stevens11-Dec-2008 20:08
Well, I'll be! Now how often does that happen? :-)
Guest 11-Dec-2008 19:42
Wasn't that too fun while it lasted?! Now it's just plain old too cold . . .
Lee Rudd11-Dec-2008 19:41
winter has moved south! hope you are all staying warm enough down there
A J Adams11-Dec-2008 19:29
You can't get a shot like that very often down here.
Guest 11-Dec-2008 19:18
There is a first I'll bet!
I'm sending my cross country skis down for you, Coleen
sschex11-Dec-2008 18:36

Dennis Hoyne11-Dec-2008 18:27

Guest 11-Dec-2008 18:26
Starting to look a lot like winter. Very nice.
Zak11-Dec-2008 17:39

Gary Winters11-Dec-2008 17:01
Brrrr! I'm surprised to see snow down there... hope it doesn't come to San Diego! But you look like you're having some fun with it...
royalld11-Dec-2008 16:49
Wow... that doesn't happen very often!
Although it is beautiful, I hope Florida is not next. I don't have a coat.
Mairéad11-Dec-2008 16:42
Beautiful shot and you look nicely wrapped up in that red scarf.
