If you’ve lived in North Carolina long enough, you probably have happy memories of snowy winter days. As a child, it meant a day off from school and making snowmen. As an adult, it’s a day snuggled up in front of the fireplace with a good book.

For the adventurer, it might mean a trip to one of North Carolina’s ski resorts. Whatever warm memories winter weather brings to mind, enjoy the season and some of North Carolina’s most beautiful white winter scenes…
Raleigh-area families enjoy a winter snowfall. Active adventurers enjoy a day on the slopes. Even dogs enjoy frolicking in the falling flakes with their families. Birds perched on branches fluff their feathers to keep warm as the snow starts to accumulate.

Sledding and snowball fights are a slippery slope to fun when Old Man Winter comes to play. Raleigh-area children grab their saucers and sleds, head to the nearest hill and scrape together snow to launch a playful winter attack. Feeders provide seeds for birds scavenging for food in a snow-covered landscape.
