My home town, Morehead City in North Carolina, has had a foot of more of snow on the ground this morning. My sister lives just two or three miles from the local National Weather Service Office, which reports 15 inches of snow. That's the biggest snowstown, that the area (Carteret County) has had since December of 1989 or maybe in the history of weather record keeping. I remember my mother telling me about digging out after that one. I had moved to California in 1986.
My sister, who still lives there, says she is snowed in and doesn't know when she'll be able to get out again. She doen't want to try to drive on snowy, icy roads and bridges. There is more water than land in Carteret County.
All this makes our weather here in Saint-Aignan seem pleasant. Actually, the sky is clear here this morning.
