weather

The weather here in the NC mountains is still the same. Its real cold in the mornings but by afternoon its warmed up to the 60’s. You will need a heavy coat, hat and gloves early in the morning. In the afternoon, you can get by with a light sweater or jacket. The weather is expected to be like this all week. Its March, so we are still in for cold weather for awhile. Can’t wait till spring gets here so my electric and gas bill goes back down. I’ve turned my heat down to save on energy costs. But I can’t really see a savings. I’m cold and have to put on a sweater in the house yet my electric bill and gas heating bill is still the same. I guess if I had left the heat same as last year I would be paying a lot more.

I heard on the news the other day about a Savannah Georgia couple who visited Asheville NC last year. This couple had their car towed. They had unknowingly parked in a private parking lot. The parking lot had a sign but the words warning of cars being towed were not noticed by the couple. The news said the lettering on the sign was not the right height. Being out of town made this very inconvenient for the couple. If you are coming to Asheville, you should double check before parking anywhere. Its best if you use a public parking spot. You can tell by the parking meter you will have to deposit coins into. Or park your car in a parking garage and pay the few dollars. That few dollars on parking just might save you a lot more.
