Yesterday, as much of the east coast was being pummeled by a wintery blast, the Raleigh, North Carolina area received our share of the white stuff too!
On the average, the Triangle area (Raleigh/ Durham/ Chapel Hill), gets about 7 inches of snow. Typically we'll get two or three inches a couple of times during the month of January and come February, we'll start to see buds on the trees sprouting and the crocus beginning to peek their way out of the ground. And, by March, we're seeing 70 degree days.
But yesterday, that old adage, "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" surely rang true!
Schools were closed, businesses, if they opened at all, were on a two hour delay and driving was not recommended.
But, since my daughter Laura had the day off from school, we just had to venture out. We found ourselves at the Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve in Cary, North Carolina. With over 3 miles of hiking trails, we had plenty of picture taking opportunities. It seemed as if we were the only ones there as much of the snow was untouched and the only sounds that were heard were the ones we made.
So, if you're thinking about moving to the Raleigh, Cary, Apex, or any of its surrounding areas, but don't want to be without snow, rest assured that we do get some......sometimes! Oh, and leave your shovels back where you come from. Our snow typically lasts a day or two and then it's back to comfy temperatures...The weather forecast for this weekend calls for highs in the lower 70's!
