the park does have a foundation with many local private partners as well so it's possible they could have been donated or paid for by the Dix Park Conservancy
(for those who aren't negative nancy's, they posted again that they'll be out there at 691 Palmer Drive around 2 PM)
Huge waste of $$, they also have to pay to store them.
if you live near downtown Raleigh and can get there safely, the Parks department just announced that they will have sleds over at Dix Park as soon as there is enough accumulation.
If you want to avoid the cold you have to get to the central part of the state. We're anti cold and have been looking at Homestead or the Naples area as my company has a place in Miami. I was considering Dallas but have you seen their temps recently? It was in the 20's when I was there this week. Nope, not doing it. We said last year was our last winter here but we got lazy. Also downside is once you sell your house you have such limited inventory to look at especially down there. Real estate is on fire in FL and will probably only get worse as more folks retire and look to escape the limited tax write off states.
I'm okay with the temps in Jacksonville FL and I love a lot of other things about that area. Miami is too far south for me. Prices are definitely creeping higher, but I can still get something nice for less than what my Cary house would sell for. Dallas is too landlocked - I want to be <20 minutes from the ocean with lots of inland waterways to explore via kayak/SUP. If I could just pick up my house & job and move both there I'd be going tomorrow! :-)
Just measured about 7 inches in the grass here in SE Chapel Hill. Drifts where the snow has slid off of sloping roofs are over 2 feet. Snow still falling heavily and with no signs of slowing down. Probably should have stocked up much more at the grocery store yesterday than I did!
snow is coming down pretty heavily here just north of downtown Raleigh but doesn't look like it is sticking too much. Definitely less than a half inch on the ground right now if that.
I've got my sights set on Jacksonville FL as my next move - it'll be at least a few years though. They have had some (very rare) snow this winter, but at least it's not so darn cold. 60's & 70's next week!
Nice! I haven't lived in north Florida but I lived in South Florida and loved every second of it. I'm sure you'll enjoy.
7.5 inches in Chapel Hill and still coming down hard.
