Snow in North Carolina

As many know, I grew up in North Carolina until graduating from college and moving to Colorado. It snowed overnight in North Carolina. Many people are not aware that North Carolina gets snow, or for that fact, even have ski resorts. It is true, Charlotte will get 1 or 2 days of snow a year. The mountains will get many more. However, when it does snow in Charlotte, they are not as prepared for the snow as schools shut down at the hint of snow and basic needs are diminished in grocery stores. I have enjoyed reading accounts of the snow from old friends on Facebook today. Friends in NC; enjoy the snow and stay off the streets, ha. By the way, it will be 70 degrees in Denver today, pretty ironic...DW
