Snow Blizzard of 1989 12/19/09 7:30 PM

1989 Snow
1989 Snow
Do you remember what you were doing on Christmas Eve 1989? I do.

Jim and I were driving from our home in Atlanta, Georgia to his mom's home in Wilmington, North Carolina. We also had something else riding with us. We had a new puppy, a Yorkshire Terrier. Her name was Bridgette and she was only 8 weeks old. She was so tiny; she fit in the palm of my hand. (By the way, that's Jim in the photo on the right.)

Before we left Atlanta on Christmas Eve we heard reports that Wilmington was going to get some snow. But we really didn't believe it would happen---not Wilmington! So we got in our car and headed towards Wilmington.

As the sun was setting, we ran into, lo and behold, some snow. It was coming down! We were so excited! But we kept driving. We arrived at Jim's mom's home safely. The snow was still coming down.

The next morning we awoke to a lot of beautiful snow on the ground. I could not remember ever waking up to a white Christmas. It was my first.

We just had to get out in it. We took Bridgette out too. It was so cute seeing her try to run through the snow. I remember Jim's mom put her on top of this table they kept outside. Cute picture!

Fast forward to 2009. A couple of weeks ago, Shannan Bowen of the Star News posted on Twitter that Gareth McGrath, Senior Reporter at the Star, was looking for photos of the 1989 snow. I responded and sent him what I had. I didn't know what would happen to them until this evening. My nephew, Anthony, called me and said he saw our pictures on the Star website. You can see them too by clicking on the below link:

Hard to believe that was Wilmington! I'd love to get a white Christmas. It could even be artificial from a snow machine, I don't care! Brad 12/21/09 4:37 PM
