Hill Family Blog: Winter Storm Warning

Winter Storm Warning

Half of North Carolina is currently under a "winter storm warning." This is serious. Several inches of snow, approximately 2-4 inches, are headed our way. Schools have already announced closures (and it is still 47 degrees outside). The news reported that milk and bread are disappearing from the shelves. One town even opened up an emergency storm shelter. I really hope we do get some snow! Poor Kinsey doesn't remember what it is. Enjoy your winters!

Big Daddy said...: The people that shut down for 2-4 inches must be Duke fans. Just can't handle it when it gets tough.; January 20, 2009 at 11:12 AM
