Not ice. Not sleet. Snow — actual snow — began falling just as school let out this afternoon and continued until well into the evening.

Such a rare occurrence in South Carolina that it became the evening entertainment. Some quiet music (Madeleine Peyroux), red wine, and a view of the snow falling.

Certainly all my students are disappointed that all this happened on a Friday, and a Friday before a free Monday (Presidents’ Day) to boot. No chance of a snow day.

It’s a fairly dry snow, piling up lightly and promising a fun morning with the Girl tomorrow.
