There are two things we can take away from the snow storm that hit Mississippi on December 8th. The first is that we Mississippians aren’t the best at driving in the snow. (But that’s not our faults. When you live in a place that rarely gets snow, how are you supposed to learn to drive in it?) The second is that Mississippi looks even more beautiful when covered in a fresh blanket of snow. Luckily, we’ve received several photos from readers who captured the rare winter weather that recently hit the Magnolia State; here are 12 of our favorites.
1. Snow flurries and blankets of snow create a gorgeous scene in Matherville.
2. A snowy roadway in Hattiesburg.
3. The Cypress Swamp on the Natchez Trace Parkway takes on a whole new look when covered in snow.
4. A picture perfect winter scene from Natchez.
5. Blanketed in snow, rural Flora is barely recognizable.
6. A snowy scene from Florence.
7. An icy shot of the Ross Barnett Reservoir.
8. Though beautiful year round, the Natchez Trace Parkway is exceptionally striking when covered in snow.
9. A train makes its way through 5.1" of snow in Brandon – the town’s biggest December snowfall since 1929!
10. An already stunning building, the state capitol looks even more picturesque blanketed in snow.
11. The powdery snow created a true winter wonderland near Meridian.
12. It’s hard to believe this wintery shot was taken in Louin, MS.
