Some love it, some hate it, but it is definitely snowing here in Wilmington, NC. If you ask my five year old, she is definitely in the "love it" crowd.  I have to admit, I am enjoying watching it as well.  I am sure the folks who moved down from the northeastern States are not as excited but since it is so unusual, you can certainly feel a little excitement in the air.

Since we are so far south and close to the ocean, it seldom snows here.  I believe the last accumulation we had was 4-5 years ago--at least.  It was April and we had about 4 inches on the ground.  The Azalea Festival was 4 days later and we had 80 degree weather!

The worst problem of this snow is that since it seldom occurs, the town pretty much starts shutting down offices and schools since it makes little sense to keep substantial equipment to take care of the roads.  Bridges will be salted/ sanded but that is mostly it.  In all likelihood, what snow we do get, will be gone by the end of the next day.  I have some more work to do but I will make this a shorter day and go home and play with my daughter in the snow!
