winter: Southern Snow - February 12, 2010. Aiken SC
- 02/14/10 11:25 AM
It was a Winter Wonderland in Aiken, SC - I say 'was' because the snow is pretty much all gone - except for the shady areas. We had approx 4-5 inches here in downtown Aiken - which is VERY unusual. There is a meterological reason as to why Aiken doesn't get much snow. I'll be writing about that soon. This storm was great! I loved it. Here are some pics of our little town - covered in snow.

winter: The place I call home

Here is a little peek into our great city. I came here on vacation about 12 years ago...and was so 'taken with Aiken' that I moved here 6 weeks later! I hope you get the opportunity to visit soon. You may be 'taken with Aiken', too :) A quiet little horse town - very near Augusta, GA. (you know - where they play The Masters Golf Tourny every April)
