❄️ There’s snow place like Greenville
Let’s get snowy. | Photos by Lea Ann M. Teresa C., Megan S., and Kristy C.
“We moved here from Wisconsin summer of 2021 in pursuit of better weather; we were no strangers to snow. The storm in January 2022 was hilarious to us, a few inches of snow shut down the city for a week? Our dog, Ruby, loved it!” — Megan S.
“Six years ago it snowed two days before moving day (December). What a mess! One truck got stuck in steep driveway, folks weren’t willing to risk driving to my house (legitimate!) and the power went out when there were 10 people at the house trying to get us moved in. So now I won’t ever move again.” — Leah N.
“We were interviewed in my front yard during the ‘88 snow by WYFF. I lived on W. Earle St.” — Paul C.
A highly-rated hydroponic growing system, so you can still have fresh herbs and vegetables in winter. We like this self-misting version, which avoids root rot and helps plants grow quicker. Hello, fresh leafy greens, basil, and tomatoes.
