❄️ It was a perfect winter scene Monday morning in Valle Crucis, a community in Watauga County. That’s in western NC near Boone.

A local man caught this footage of his dog enjoying the snow. The National Weather Service had issued a winter weather advisory for the area from Sunday until Monday afternoon because of gusty winds and snowfall.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for North Carolinians and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at Cardinal & Pine has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of North Carolina families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
