Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

Ray the Weatherman makes is official ...

... "this winter has been the snowiest on record through February 14. The table below shows the 10 snowiest winters through February 14 in Boone NC. Notably missing is the winter of 1959-60 when the winter total in Boone was 104"--most of the snow that year fell between mid February and mid March. Weather data for Boone goes back to the 1920s."

Ray is the local weather guru. Actually he is an ASU prof whose passion is meteorology and produces a weather page. Locals rely on it because it is, well, local, and so more accurate than the government weather service or the weather channel.

Things are getting ominous here at Clemens central: Carmen is aimlessly wandering around the house muttering under her breath, shaking her head and laughing unpleasantly. The cats are just yowling and running from window to window.

The lummox is very quiet. Me too.
