in Durham NC. When we first moved to NC in 2007, there would be one or two good snowstorms every winter. Coming from LA, with its absence of seasons, I liked it. We're on the I think it is 4th winter without any snow aside from some flurries that didn't stay on the ground as long as it took to touch it.

It might be the 5th year. 2018 was the year I slipped on black ice while scraping my car and broke a wrist.

This area where I live seems somehow to avoid almost all severe weather. I should not complain. But seasons were one thing I really liked about NC back in the day, now I feel like I don't even have that. If it's warm it's raining, if it's cold it's clear. AND since 2010 republicans have been ruining the place as fast as they can.

I hope you're well positioned to curl up and enjoy the snow!
