Thank you for the ping, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Sounds like at least the weather is cooperating, we are having a heat wave today at 42 degrees after a couple days of single digit highs and a foot of snow.
Is your photo a South Carolina sky? It is awesome.
Afraid it is was one snagged from Mr. Google, Just..:)) The title is Hand of God.....
We don't get much severe weather on this side of South Carolina. Most fronts flow northeast from Augusta, Georgia toward Columbia, SC, and we are positioned in Barnwell, SC southeast of Augusta. They thus don't usually reach us...if snowflakes appear, it is an exciting event - and if a half inch *briefly* coats every few years, the town goes nuts!!
Two years ago there was a terrible, terrible ICE storm, however, but it began exactly one mile above us, stretching upward for several counties from there.
With many tree farms with pines in addition to natural ones growing, there were snapped limbs all over, many blocking the two-lane highway. The sounds were heard here, like rifle shots...
We don't have pines on our lot - two huge pecan trees, a gum tree, a pear tree, three small and two large dogwood trees - and one no one seems to know the name of, with four joined trunks branching out with the first Spring Leafy Green growth, and first leaves to fall - great for grandchildren to climb..:))
