Folks,

Greetings from a Winter Wonderland with a lot of cars stuck in the middle, NC. We east of Raleigh were supposed to get rain and only a dusting of snow. Instead we got at least 6 inches. That is a lot for us. West of us, where my son works, they got 10 or more inches. He was on call this weekend so he just spent the night in Durham. At the moment, Durham (remember the film "Bull Durham") is in a pocket that is still getting a heavy mix of snow, rain, sleet and freezing rain.

Some areas have had over a foot of snow west of us. 170,000 homes and businesses have no power. More precipitation may be falling through the night and and into tomorrow. It will be extra slippery in the morning . Temps in the mid or low 20.s F. at night for the next two days will assure slippery conditions.

The current temp here is 32° F. where I am with hopes that temps will rise later on. Some areas have already switched to rain. The western mountains are still dealing with deep snow and heavy snow still falling. If you aren't a tank commander, I think you should stay off the roads in NC.

Dux:

Thanks for the interesting pix. Lucky there was no loss of life or environmental damage, especially as it is, apparently, a favorite beach and recreational area.

Should you not drop in again before Dec. 25, Happy Holly Days to you and yours, my friend, especially young Lady "M". 🎄 🎅
