My White Christmas' The angry winter lashed out with wind and drifiting snow, the likes of which were never seen this far south. Could it be that a white Christmas would blanket southeast Georgia the first time in recorded history? December 23rd, 1988 would be remembered in south Georgia as the day it wouldn't quit snowing. Light dustings occurred every so often, but this was different - an accumulation of three, four, five and even six inches in places. Gusting winds built unseen drifts against trees, mounds, and ditch banks.Children were estatic and native adults were mesmorized by the uncommon and picturesque landscape. A blanket of white graced lawns, roofs, fields, even roads; and it was two days before Christmas! Could it be that my 84 year old grandmother would see her first white Christmas? Christmas eve brought more flurries, and freezing tempertures kept it white producing the most memorable Christmas Day ever. Snow ball fights and snowmen replaced toys and presents as the 'joy' of this 'once in a #lifetime,' White Christmas in Hinesville, Georgia.
