For the first time in a long time, I got to watch mostly rain while my friends to the north got mostly snow. It's just climo. When we are short on precip and we have the cold it almost always works better for my area. My point here is the same as when someone is chastised for Hurricane/Tornado excitement, 0,Zilch nada NO amount of wishing changes the weather. Ya get what ya get. If you don't like it move. I looked hard in Roxboro before deciding on our place in Moncure. Climo was no small consideration. At the end of the day the better property won out. I'll take my 3 inches of slush and like it!
