Three-year-old Destiny Price took
advantage of the brief, but warm
weather Tuesday afternoon with a
trip to Ashe County Park. She
entertained her mother, Ashley
Price, and the mom and daughter
shared the day with ducks sunning
themselves on the parkʼs pond.
Rain was to move in late in the
week and another round of snow
is expected next week. There is one
more big bean in Little Joe Mullisʼ
jar, indicating one more snow of
greater than six inches. Mullis
dubbed this winter a Black Squirrel
winter. We think he called it right.
