3. W. Jefferson is a nice little town. Once spent a couple nights in a little place above a music

shop. I thought it was cool that you could get a drink, have an ice cream, buy an antique, watch a movie and visit a cheese factory all within a couple of blocks.

More proximity to hiking areas...and Asheville!

All you have to do is click your location or the location you want a forecast for, directly on the map and it will take you there. Once there you can fine tune your forecast by entering your zip code or town name in the search bar.

I hope you find this helpful.

9. Thx.

It’s the weird, confusing road conditions and constant parking lot dramas in Boone that I’m trying to wrap my brain around, as well. The school isn’t the greatest when it comes to communicating these issues.

11. You're on top of things!

I’m juggling conditions in 3 areas for my crew - Chapel Hill/Raleigh, Boone, and Hendersonville.

We’re all in different spots for school and work, and the road conditions are keeping everyone hunkered in place instead of driving home to Hendo.
