weather: Cary NC Rain, Rain, ....Thank-You! - 05/17/10 09:15 AM
Cary NC    Rain, Rain....Thank-You! Cary NC Rain, Rain....thank-you from all of us who have been hoping for rain over the past month.  We enjoyed  numerous sunny glorious days of "Carolina Blue Sky".  However with all that sum comes dry browning grass, shrinking ponds, and stressed water supplies.  Cary NC depends on our water reservoir such as Jordan Lake for drinking water.  When rain is scarce our water reservoir dwindle quickly.  

I've noticed the lack of rain on my favorite place the, golf course.  The ponds and streams along the course are low, stagnant, and full of algae. I've … (3 comments)

When we moved here 15 years ago the only form of … (5 comments)

weather: Snow in Cary NC - 01/09/10 06:33 AM
Snow In Cary NC Snow in Cary NC is an event.  Twice this year snow has been predicted in Cary NC and twice this year we have been disappointed.
You see our average snowfall is 8" a year.  To me, a 15 year resident of Cary, that seems on the high side. While the rest of the country is cursing the daily snowfall we are wondering where is our share?  

Kids in Cary, sleds ready, watched the news closely this week as snow was once again predicted.  Only to see a light cold rain, not even ice! Off to … (1 comments)
