The NC Snowpocalypse!

Hi everyone! I'm enjoying writing a mid-week blog post because the biggest snowstorm since 2005 has hit North Carolina hard today! Duke closed at noon today & Evan got home around 12:30. UNC decided it wouldn't be a bad idea to close at 1 pm. Around 12:45, I started noticing the fine, sticky snow starting to drift down past the windows in my classroom. By 1:15, when my class let out, there was almost an inch of snow. The buses stopped running, and I would have been stuck on campus if Evan hadn't been able to come get me (& a group of my friends!). It took us about 2 hours to drive the 3 miles from campus to our apartment. Phew! Some of my other friends heading a different direction ended up walking 3-4 miles home since the buses had shut down. Not the best planning on UNC's part!

Leaving class today

The big UNC-Duke game is tonight and is still on as scheduled. Evan and I are tempted to make the trek by foot to the Dean Dome to see if we can get some last minute tickets for cheap! If I had to guess, there will be a lot of unhappy people who paid $500+ per ticket if they are unable to safely get to the game.

Trying to get off campus!

As of now, Evan and I are both home safe and guessing we'll have another snow day tomorrow. Things are supposed to get messy tonight with a mix of snow and ice. North Carolina isn't prepared for this kind of snow, so plows & salt trucks are few and far between!


No big news to report here other than our exciting storm. I'm still having fun with my Etsy shop with mom & staying busy with school, and Evan is still working hard as usual. We're looking forward to visiting Lewisburg in a few weeks for Dallas' 90th birthday extravaganza & then having Chris & Abby (and hopefully Nance & Al) down to visit for 4-5 days over Spring Break! Lots to look forward to…

Until next time - stay warm!
