It is my theory that the entire country has entered a cold snap, or a least the East Coast is experencing one right now. North Carolina is definitely experiencing unseasonably cold temperatures.
It is like much of the east coast, it has a nice, warm summer and cold winters. The winters are certainly not as mild as the California coast. But the summers more than make up for it.
I believe that it should be said that even during this cold snap Charlotte and North Carolina are still experiencing much more mild temperatures that their northern friends.
Right now it is 35 degrees in Charlotte. It's cold. but it isn't anywhere close to zero or negative numbers. You can get by with a heavy windbreaker if you are only going to your car.
It's a welcome change for some people who are used to heavy boots and giant parkas when they go outside.
It does snow here, but it only amounts to anything about once every five years. Your show shovel will be able to file for early retirement. You'll only have to hire him back as a consultant every once in a while. Even in this once every five year snows, it's most likely melted by the next day.
But in a big snow, once every 15 years or so, the city has a problem. There aren't that many snow plows and we have to call them in from the mountains. It's no wonder since the snows only come once every ten or 15 years.
