Hey Boone DUers.

[blm]

What’s going on there with the roads in town and around campus - Clear, icy?

1. I'll ask my daughter...she works in Boone

Lives in W Jefferson

2. Thx. The school parking lot situation sounds crazy.

3. W. Jefferson is a nice little town. Once spent a couple nights in a little place above a music

shop. I thought it was cool that you could get a drink, have an ice cream, buy an antique, watch a movie and visit a cheese factory all within a couple of blocks.

4. Yes indeed. We've stayed at B&B's there, to bike the road from Todd

to Fleetwood

5. Beautiful area. I was living in Shady Valley, TN at the time. Not too far from you.

6. We're glad we chose Hendersonville instead of W Jefferson, though

More proximity to hiking areas...and Asheville!

[dameatball]

8. I can understand that. Many areas to choose from, that's for sure.

9. Thx.

It’s the weird, confusing road conditions and constant parking lot dramas in Boone that I’m trying to wrap my brain around, as well. The school isn’t the greatest when it comes to communicating these issues.

10. There's this too...

​​Motorists traveling through North Carolina can call 511 during the day for the latest road conditions and other important information, including:
Crashes, weather-related closures and road construction
Transfers to neighboring states' 511 systems

Overnight and during emergencies, travelers should go to DriveNC.gov for the latest travel information.

11. You're on top of things!

I’m juggling conditions in 3 areas for my crew - Chapel Hill/Raleigh, Boone, and Hendersonville.

We’re all in different spots for school and work, and the road conditions are keeping everyone hunkered in place instead of driving home to Hendo.

[littlemissmartypants]

12. Apparently, not on top of things enough to know what Hendo means...

Good luck with your endeavors.

13. Hendersonville

Hendo is a common nick.
