Weather Highlight
Even though the calendar says it’s
Spring, you wouldn’t know it by looking outside. A
Nor’easter racing up the coast brought up to 8
inches of snow in northern Alabama, 2 feet of snow in the
mountains of North Carolina, and a wintry mix to Happy
Valley. After wreaking havoc the past two days in the
mid-Atlantic region, it now has its sights set on New
England.
