  • Winter In Cullowhee... by Toni Saddler School and sports cancellations, record-breaking subzero temperatures, and numerous weather-related accidents and deaths have occurred as a result of extreme cold that recently gripped the whole country. Locally, temperatures plummetted below zero beginning a cold spell on January 10. Before the mountains could thaw, two winter storms blanketed the lower elevations with eight to ten inches of snow and some higher elevations with well over a foot. The snow was followed by subzero temperatures caused by artic cold air that set records across the country. The frigid temperatures which dropped to 6 below zero in Asheville and Murphy, and 12 below in Boone and Grandfather Mountain, turned the partially melted snow into sheets and cakes of ice making driving conditions near impossible. John Daniel, a WCU student who was trapped in Cullowhee during the adverse weather said, "The snow was nice to look at but I hated it after the first hour. Driving was so bad that I got stuck three times in one night. I'm sure I wore a summer's worth of tread off my tires in two days." Early this week students slipped and slided to class over icy parking lots and walkways, despite the university's numerous attempts to clear passageways. Late last week-end temperatures rose and the skies cleared but quite a bit of snow and slush still remains in shaded areas. On a wider scope, residents of Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina and southern Georgia and Alabama were surprised to find snow at their doorstep, as the recent winter storms affected areas that rarely receive any snowfall. Unfortunately, the weather has contributed to a number of serious sledding accidents in those regions. In southern Louisiana, temperatures dropped into the low twenties and teens breaking all-time records and causing major and minor traffic accidents as freezing rain and sleet made roadways treacherous.
