Outer Banks Snow 2010 - Wright Brothers Monument
Flakes started to fall late Friday night, and by early Saturday the Outer Banks was layered in a sheet of white 2-3 inches thick. Unfortunately, the wintery scene did not last too long; the feathery flakes turned to heavy rain throughout the morning, and the white landscape gradually shifted to a wintery beach scene.
Just over a year from 2009′s OBX snow; two years in a row with snow on the Outer Banks. Although the beach blanketed in snow dissipated quickly, the joys of a day filled with a white landscape, snowballs and snowmen, and some sledding will hold us over until the next wintery storm draws far enough south to grace the OBX with a day slowed to nurture the effects of nature.

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the OBX snow. Seems like an oxymoron when you think what most people think of when they thing of the Outer Banks. I heard this was the most snow in years.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for taking a look at the blog. Yeah, it definitely seems strange to see snow on the Outer Banks.
