Cold weather is here
It was quite warm last Wednesday so it was a shock to many when it turned bitter cold on Thursday. But that is how the weather is here in Asheville. It was freezing cold standing waiting for the school bus with my grandchilden in the early morning. the wind cut right through you. It snowed here and there Friday. Many tourists got caught unprepared for the change in temperatures so the news said. They were out buying winter coats and hats. If you are coming to the NC mountains anytime of year, you should always pack a jacket. It quite cool, in the higher elevations. In the late fall, you should throw in a winter coat. Cause the weather is always unpredictable here. I have seen winters where the entire month of January was below zero. And, I have seen days in February reach 70 degrees.This was over 20 years ago, long before anyone started talking about global warming too. In addition, I have seen it snow as late as May here. It didn’t last long though and it was only once in the last 35 years. We’ve gotten our worst snow storms in March. That was the blizzard of 93.
