Finally, all the cold really amounted to something. Once again, the weatherman got this one wrong, its was supposed to be a non-event which turned into quite a bit of snow and given the colder temperatures it hung around for a while. I think, all told, our little pocket of North Durham county got about…
So once again in typical North Carolina fashion – it was overpromised, grocery stores were wiped out and then it didn’t amount to nearly what was in the forecast. We were some of the lucky ones – if you count yourself lucky to get some snow – the Triangle area was promised 6-12ish inches and…
I don’t know how many years it has been – but every year its been our tradition to go to the mountains to get our tree. This year was no different – we headed up to Blowing Rock and stayed at Chetola Lodge – it’s become our go to spot. First time in a while,…
