It was snowy & very windy--the closest thing to a blizzard I guess I've ever seen! We drove all that way, made it home, then everything came to a standstill for about a week.
Doesn't look like we are going to get a repeat of that tonight, though.

I remember that one! My sister had come home from college for spring break, TICKED off that our parents wouldn't let her go the beach unsupervised. Then it snowed, and I believe they had snow at the beach too. I have a picture of my dad and sister building a big snow man in the front year.
My husband's cousin got married that day. (I didn't know him at the time) When we sent our date for March 2, the whole family just groaned! Turned out to be a beautiful spring day!
Spring in NC is interesting, to say the least!
