On Wednesday, February 25th we were advised that our area may have 2 - 5 inches of snow. But the weathermen were skeptical. At 8am on February 26th it began snowing ...and snowing....and snowing...and snowing. By nightfall it was still snowing. At times it was snowing so hard the snow was coming down horizontally. By midnight, February 26th it was starting to slow down. When we woke up on Friday, February 27th we had accumulated over 12 inches of beautiful soft white snow.

This snowfall has set a record for this date and it is the second largest snowfall on record for any date here in the Charlotte area.
