When what to my wondering eyes did appear...
A SNOWFALL is a rare occurance in this part of the south. Being a native northerner, it was like waking up to a surprise holiday with beautiful, snowy views of Auburn-Opelika. I headed out with my camera at 6:30 a.m. to take in the magic of A WINTER DAY in Auburn!

Mara, I heard it happened in Alabama, wow what a treat and enough to build a snowman. How fun !!
Mara, The snowman is terrific! Looks like you got a lot of snow. Ours is just starting...10 to 16 inches worth...we will be digging out forever :(
Wow, what a contrast...it was a beautiful sunny day in Chandler today...high in the upper 80's ...a bit warm for this time of year ,but a beautiful day nevertheless!
That *is* out of the ordinary... from where I sit, we're expecting an unseasonal 90 degrees today.
What great pictures! I am looking forward to the end of winter this year as it has been an extremely tough one. Come on Spring!
