We were en route to Anne's place when an unexpectedly strong snow storm hit. Anne called us before our departure to tell us about the accumulation in Asheville and then again, en route. She determined it was best we stay elsewhere as her home is located on a hill and the roads were too treacherous due to the unexpected arrival of snow and ice! Anne took it upon herself to find us a local hotel! Can you believe that? We were stuck in treacherous driving conditions--tractor trailers jack knifed, roads blocked, unplowed and unsalted and she managed to find us a safe place on a plowed highway. If that's the kind of person she is--well, I'll certainly be back to stay at her place. And let me point out that her home is accessible for winter visits--this weekend storm was sudden and brutal and the city was not prepared for the accumulation it received.
