Too Big? Too Heavy? We've Got Strong Men to Help!

If you have ever moved to a new house, apartment, or office by yourself, you know how much of a pain it can be. The moving process can be filled with many different emotions. On the one hand, you're probably excited about the new adventure that lies ahead of you. On the other hand, you're probably dreading the heavy lifting, pulling, packing, organizing, and logistical aspects of moving.

At Strong Men Moving, our goal is to remove that dread so you can focus on the fun and productive times ahead. With a team of hardworking, experienced moving professionals on your side, moving to a new home or office is easy, like Sunday morning.

Will it snow in Beaufort, SC next week?

Could snow be in the forecast for Beaufort, SC in the near future? Some meteorologists say it’s very possible that we could see some here in the Lowcountry next week on Wednesday, January 22nd.10 day forecasts indicate that an Arctic (Siberian) air mass and higher chances of precipitation will collide with one another in the Lowcountry on January 21st & 22nd, and the forecast from The Weather Channel calls for rain and show showers on the 22nd here in Beaufor...

Could snow be in the forecast for Beaufort, SC in the near future? Some meteorologists say it’s very possible that we could see some here in the Lowcountry next week on Wednesday, January 22nd.

10 day forecasts indicate that an Arctic (Siberian) air mass and higher chances of precipitation will collide with one another in the Lowcountry on January 21st & 22nd, and the forecast from The Weather Channel calls for rain and show showers on the 22nd here in Beaufort, with 1 to 3 inches of snow expected.

But it’s still unclear exactly how the system will act, and it’s unlikely to be only snow that is forecasted.

Now, we know this forecast will most likely change, but, we’re still a bit excited, and also a bit nervous.

Snow and ice storms, coupled with cold temperatures, periodically do threaten South Carolina. All it takes is a few factors to line up.

When cold air makes its way south and connects with warmer, moister air…the propensity for snow occurs. With the way temperatures are here along the coast and the changes in temps as you move further inland away from the ocean, when these events do happen, we tend to see a period of liquid rain, a period of freezing rain, and then the snow.

It just depends on how cold it gets.

Heavy snowfall and extreme cold can immobilize an entire region. Even areas that normally experience mild winters can be hit with a major snowstorm or extreme cold. Winter storms can damage property, create safety risks, destroy crops and valuable timber, damage infrastructure components such as power lines and have enormous economic impacts…and they can sure be one heck of an inconvenience.

We don’t have salt trucks and snow plows here in Beaufort SC. Most natives don’t even know how to safely navigate their vehicles on snow covered roads. Recent snowfall has shown us that.

The last time Beaufort, SC saw a significant amount of snow was January 3, 2018. We got some five to six inches of snow and the Lowcountry froze over and most parts of it came to a standstill for four or five days; and Beaufort was a ghost town, with the exception of children and families going out to play in it.

Snow has repeatedly blanketed other parts of the country so far this season with our friends in the northeast getting hit constantly.

Yes, we aren’t up north, but during the winter months in the Lowcountry, it helps to stay aware, because winter weather isn’t a joke around these parts. And, you just never know when it’ll be headed our way. After all, nobody expected what happened in 2018, either.

Will it snow?

Who knows.

Beaufort, SC is beautiful every single day of the year. But, it looks exceptionally beautiful when its landscape is covered in snow.

We can only hope for some Lowcountry snow.

The 26 Best Things To Do In Beaufort, South Carolina

There's a moment at Hunting Island State Park as you're biking along the Lagoon Trail—ocean breezes and intoxicating beach vistas playing peekaboo to your left—when the sandy path turns inland and a sign points to Diamondback Rattlesnake Trail. A good idea? Yes."Yes," it turns out, sums up the best way to ...

"Yes," it turns out, sums up the best way to experience Beaufort, South Carolina, and its environs, including Hunting Island. Yes, the path less taken is an excellent idea, as is the sweet tea at Blackstone's Cafe. Spending hours strolling through The Old Point and gazing at historic homes and even older live oaks offers endless enchantment. But with my eyes peeled for rattlers, I was (yes) relieved that the only serpentine thing I discovered was more of the winding trail along old dune ridge lines through a primordial wonderland.

The trail affirms why Hunting Island, a breathtaking 25-minute drive from Beaufort, is South Carolina's most popular state park. With a dozen similar paths and 5 miles of pristine beach, this place leads you back eons in time through an untouched maritime forest with towering pines and ospreys soaring overhead as well as magnolias and saw palmettos tangled with yaupon hollies and wax myrtles in the dense understory. Here you breathe deeper and look more closely. Life slows down, and a sense of awe percolates up.

Take In The Scenery At Waterfront Park

Take a seat on one of the bench swings at Beaufort's Waterfront Park. Wide and welcoming, they move back and forth in a rhythmic lullaby. You can't help relaxing, especially if you happen to catch a sunset or tune into the soft lapping of the Beaufort River against the floating dock, hearing the jingling clink of pulleys against sailboat masts—a mariner's wind chime.

Waterfront Park showcases the smart civic planning that makes Beaufort such a delight: The town's best vistas are protected and preserved. There are thoughtful amenities (parking, public bathrooms, an amphitheater, picnic tables, and plenty of green lawn for kids and dogs to play on). Plus it's all conveniently adjacent to an enticing array of restaurants, coffee shops, and stores along Bay Street. What better nightcap than to sit and swing a spell after enjoying grilled scallops or top-notch sushi at Saltus River Grill?

Appreciate Beaufort's Subdued Beauty

Beaufort is subdued in the best possible way. She has the same deep history and stunning architecture that her nearby sisters, Charleston and Savannah, are celebrated for, but she's fine staying slightly out of the limelight. Wise and mature, Beaufort wears her age like the badge of honor it is. Her Lowcountry aura feels elemental, with more patina and less pomp. Along Short Street at the edge of The Old Point, moss-heaped limbs cradle historic mansions. Beaufort's treescape shouts of grandeur in whatever language oaks speak. Gardens and yards aren't so much manicured as they are magical. It's easy to see why Hollywood frequently comes calling (a stairwell at The Beaufort Inn features posters from major motion pictures filmed here). Longtime resident Pat Conroy was so smitten that he wrote, "When I came to Beaufort I had struck upon a land so beautiful I had to hunt for other words."

Learn About Beaufort's History

Not far from Short Street, the First African Baptist Church, a Gothic Revival gem built by freedmen in 1865, bears witness to Beaufort's African American, Gullah, and Reconstruction-era history. "Robert Smalls was a member here. This document notes his Sunday school attendance and that he put a few cents in the offering plate," says the Rev. Alexander McBride, a jovial former marine and the church's pastor of almost 20 years, pointing to framed, yellowing pages hanging behind the sanctuary. A statue of Smalls, an enslaved crewman who heroically commandeered a Confederate ship and later served as a U.S. Congressman, is less than a mile away at Tabernacle Baptist Church, where a monument to Harriet Tubman is also planned.

Both churches are worthy stops, along with the Penn Center, the first Southern school for formerly enslaved people, across the bridge on St. Helena Island. Each place gives a deeper insight into the region's vibrant and enduring African American and Gullah Geechee culture.

Providing an overview of Beaufort's past, Capt. Henry Brandt of Coastal Expeditions offers a boat tour that cruises through the area's Native American, Spanish, and French history; Union occupation; and a view of Camp Saxton's tabby ruins, where the Emancipation Proclamation was first read in South Carolina—all interspersed with musings on estuary ecosystems and the fecund marvels of pluff mud.

"You don't fully experience Beaufort until you see it from the water," Brandt claims. After watching dolphins curl and glide from the boat's bow and admiring the town's steeples rising in the background, I absolutely believe him.

Sea Island Gullah Christmas Celebration coming to downtown Beaufort

One of the traditions of the holiday season is going to see a live performance. One of the traditions of the holiday season here in Beaufort, SC and on the sea islands, is to go and see a live performance by Aunt Pearlie Sue. Be sure not to miss everyone’s favorite Gullah-auntie in a performance of Gullah Kinfolk Christmas Wish live onstage at USCB Center for the Arts on Thursday, December 5th and F...

This full stage Gullah musical production has become a favorite holiday experience in Beaufort that captures the spirit of the Christmas season.

On the Sea Islands in Beaufort S.C., December 20th, 1860 marks the last Christmas before the Civil War. South Carolina becomes the first state to secede from the Union. “Masters in the big house talkin’ ’bout war coming. Servants in the quarters talkin’ ’bout freedom coming,” the Kinfolk say.

Aunt Pearlie Sue and Gullah Kinfolk brings this history alive through interactive storytelling, dancing, and hand-clapping and foot-stomping music that mesmerize audiences as they journey back in time to celebrate this special Yuletide season.

This fully staged musical production has become a holiday favorite with audience members traveling from both near and far to experience the spirit of the season. “Com’ ‘joy Yo’self. Christmas dis ain’t Christmas wit’out Aunt Pearlie Sue and Gullah Kinfolk!”

Aunt Pearlie Sue is the creation of Anita Singleton-Prather, a native of the Sea Islands of Beaufort, South Carolina. Based on her grandmother, Aunt Pearlie Sue’s character has entertained audiences with Gullah-flavored folktales for over 20 years from our local schoolhouses all the way to the White House.

The Gullah Kinfolk preserves Gullah history and dialect, through expressions of musical performance. The Kinfolk is comprised of Prather’s family members, many of whom have been singing for years. You can find tickets online at www.gullahkinfolktravelingtheater.org.

Also planned on Thursday, December 5th is the Gullah Geechee Sierra Leone Connection Lowcountry Energy & Environment Symposium from 9am to 1pm at the USCB Center for the Arts. Learn how we are raising awareness of green, renewable energy opportunities and lifting the voices of lowcountry communities so they are heard in the policymaking process. The event is FREE, but advanced registration is required.

The Gullah Taste of Christmas kicks off at 11am on Saturday, December 7th, at 711 Bladen Street. With live music, a Rice Cookoff, food vendors, a kid’s village and more, the event is a beautiful celebration of Gullah traditions that will have you singing and dancing with joy.

Celebrate the rich culinary heritage of the Gullah people at the Rice Cookoff, a highlight of the Gullah Christmas Celebration. Gullah ancestors brought rice to the United States, transforming South Carolina into the wealthiest colony before the Revolutionary War. This event honors their incredible contributions to American society, cuisine, and the economy.

Contestants will showcase their culinary skills by cooking onsite in a commercial kitchen located at 711 Bladen Street, 2nd floor, Beaufort. If you want to participate in the cookoff event with your own recipe, you can sign up here.
