Are You Dreaming of a White Christmas?

The National Weather Service maintains a thorough record of snowfall for Wilmington going all the way back 150 years! This is the most complete snowfall history for any station in Eastern North Carolina.  With such a long period of data, many interesting snowfall statistics can be generated for Wilmington concerning a “white Christmas.”

Who among you remembers 1989? It was 31 years ago, but for some it may seem like yesterday. It was the largest snowfall in the history of the Southeast coast of the United States. Over TWO FEET of fresh powder fell on Wilmington! Now, this was not Aspen…we are talking about our good old seaside area.

I don’t know what Christmas 2020 may bring, but maybe it has one mere surprise in store for us. Maybe just a couple of inches would be just fine. If and when you need my services in 2021 please google aldenbcole.com and call my cell number or the one at the office. Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to all of my friends in the Wilmington area.
