Historic snowfall!

Historic snowfall 


Snow fell on January 29, 2014 in Orange Beach, Alabama.


Icicles frozen on our beach house.





This does not look right!


Icicles on our stairs leading to the beach.


Snow on the beach.


Icy sea oats




Sand dunes


Usually these beaches are sugar white but Wednesday the the white came from the snow.
The sand looked brown from the rain that froze it.




During the freezing rain all the shells that were facing up had ice in them.


Kids that live on the Alabama coast have never seen snow or ice on the beach before! 
The adults say it has been 50 years.





All of these shells are stuck in ice due to freezing rain. 


Do you see the frozen water droplets the sea oats?


Snow and beach...WHAT?????





Icicles on the railing going to the beach.


Icicles + palm tree = not normal


Palm trees


The sand burrs are trapped by ice.


Sand burr plants.





The ice is thicker than the stem of the plant.





Huge plant frosted with ice


The walk to the beach is very icy.





Sea oats are covered with ice.
