Friday November 22nd News
The Mountains of Western NC are in for some Snow today and tonight. Normally that wouldn’t really be considered “News”, since that region is famous for such weather this time of year. But with today’s highs reaching only 33, and Winds reaching up to 35mph, Wind Chill factors will be around 18! A Good Reason to continue Praying for those in that area who will be battling the elements in tents, and trailers, some still without electricity.
