and this week from the mountains to our coast there has been some kind of winter weather. it is deep here where we are standing in greens borough, north carolina. about nine total inches of snow for an area that rarely sees more than an inch at a time and only a couple times per winter. it began to melt a little last night and it is frozen over. just a solid sheet of ice on top and a little salt underneath. road crews have been working since really mid afternoon on wednesday trying to clear the streets. all businesses really were shut down. valentine s day, that could be really financial trouble for a lot of places. so a really tough situation here in north carolina for everyone. i think we are all looking forward to spring. yeah. we are both from the carolinas and we have family down there and they are ready for it to end as well. thank you so much, shannon. tell our families hello.
