snocracoke

People on Ocracoke get really excited when it snows. Any accumulation of snow on the island is novel enough to fondly be remembered for years. There was the "blizzard" of 1980, with actual snow drifts and power outages (commemorative T-shirts were printed). Around seven years ago snow fell all night and we woke to a winter wonderland. Everyone bundled up and spent the day outside playing. This involved attaching waterski tow ropes to trucks and dragging one another around town on anything that slid: boogie boards, skim boards, in some cases actual snow boards.

We didn't get much snow during this last storm. The dusting made the island feel cozy and wintry, and the holiday lights are twinkling brighter than ever. The Ocracoke Working Waterman's Association Oyster Roast is this weekend. Hallelujah, oysters!

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
