On January 25, 2000, a surprise blizzard hit North Carolina. Even as the snow began piling up, the National Weather Service was claiming there would be minimal accumulation. Well, the NWS has spent far too much time in Colorado, because in North Carolina two feet is not considered minimal! In fact, not only was it the most snow to fall in the Triangle area on record, it was 2/3 of the record accumulation for the whole season, and that was set back in the 19th century. Needless to say the state was crippled for a week, but we had fun!
