This weekend Sylva had an honest-to-goodness snow event. Starting overnight Friday, fluffy snow blew in from a nor’easter that spun to our south and then off the coast. The snow kept up all morning Saturday and well into the afternoon. By the end of the day, we had 6.5 inches in many places.
The entire state got a healthy treat of snow, too. Mom and Dad saw plenty in Taylorsville and Hickory, and Carl and Dianne had a good measure in Statesville.
Helping out matters was a pretty cold bit of air that had been in place all week following last weekend’s ice storm. That one missed us completely, but there were still plenty of covered, frozen streets back in Iredell County, where they didn’t go to school all week.
