I was talking to ken, he came in on hendersonville road this morning and he said he was slipping around a little. I was, too, coming from buncombe county.

The more we see people traveling by it, the better those roads are looking. But, we will pull over onto hillside up here in front of clackston elementary and look at these side roads. Totally covered. These can be really slippery. In fact, we got stuck for a second this morning. We were returning around in the parking lot, turning onto one of the side roads that look just like this when we are waiting for someone to pass by us here. Give folks p pnty of room as you head out the door, too, because the wind is blowing and we are slipping just a little bit right now, too, as we get going. Underneath that snow, its very slick on the roads. There is an ice pack under and that wind chill is going to make whatever whatever melts on the

We transported them back to the hotel and i believe theyre from kerry, so hopefully, you know, they will have a quiet rest and head back after that.
