Over the weekend we had a significant snowfall here in the foothills of North Carolina. Actually, it is my favorite type of snowfall. It began on Friday afternoon with big fluffy flakes of snow. It continued through the night and snowed for a short period of time on Saturday morning. I think our accumulation totals was eight inches.
Another reason I liked this snow is because it happened on the weekend and we didn’t have to go to work and could just enjoy watching it snow. I was also appreciative of the fact that it was snow and not sleet or freezing rain. The kids in our neighborhood had a good time in the snow but it was extremely cold all weekend. Of course, I don’t think kids ever admit they are cold when they are playing in the snow.
Here are some pictures:
Before the snow, I had chosen the following recipe to share with you. I thought it was such a comforting recipe for a cold January day. Of course, I love barbecue so it really appealed to me. It is from a recipe book from a local cook that compiled recipes of her friends and family and named the book, “Susie’s Dinner Bell.”
I hope you enjoy the recipe. If you are experiencing a snowy day, I hope you are safe and warm. Thanks for stopping by.
So Does That Mean I'm SOUTHERN? 
The snow is beautiful, especially from afar where it doesn’t have to be shoveled. Your meatballs sound perfect on a cold winter’s day.
The great thing about living here is you don’t have to shovel very much. The snow goes away real fast!
That is a very good thing. :D
