This photo was taken at the edge of the bridge to Emerald Isle in late January last year. The snow was absolutely beautiful and it stayed so long it even lost it's novelty factor with this life long local 😅 Do you think it will happen again? If it does PLEASE tag me in your snowy Crystal Coast pictures and don't forget, if you want to support the local shops and makers without heading into the cold, there are lots of links to incredible vendors on the “Shop the Coast” tab at crystalcoastwanderlust.com
