Snow way

40 years ago today: 20 inches of snow in eastern NC :: WRAL.com: Meteorological spring is here! But as many of you know, just because it's meteorological spring on the calendar, snow isn't out of the question.

Freshman year at East Carolina University. I remember "borrowing" plastic trays from the cafeteria in Jones Hall to go sledding on College Hill. Hiking to the Stop-n-Go (better known as the Rip-n-Run back in the day) to buy soup and other stuff, like carob bars (which I was oddly into at the time). And the first time I ever witnessed "thunder snow."
