At least one snow creature appeared in Bluffton following Sunday night's snowfall. This guy was seen on West Elm Street at the Bergstrand front yard. A few other sightings were reported on the Bluffton University Centenial Hall lawn.

NYGAARD - There's only one family in Bluffton with that last name. You'll find this plate on a silver-grey Honda Odyssey parked on Anna Circle. It belongs to Christian and Jamie Nygaard.
Gallery 323 is open in December. It features works in an assortment of media by at least a dozen Bluffton area artists.
The gallery, at 323 N. Main St., was launched as a storefront where local artisans could sell their art.
The late Gregg Luginbuhl opened the studio. The Luginbuhl family decided to reopen the gallery for the month of December.
Karen Luginbihl said, “Gregg's wish was to keep the gallery running, and while we don't yet know the long-term plan, we want to give the artists involved a chance to sell their work for the holidays.”
