No doubt about it—it's winter in the Yadkin Valley! And as the old North Carolina saying goes, "If you're not happy with the weather, just wait a minute and it will change!" So true, so true as one day we leave the house with a sweater we shed by noon to the next day we're clearing our driveway of an old Hickory tree literally blown down by gusts of wind coming over the mountains and the very next day we get a blanket of sleet on stepping stones and the driveway, making the trip to the office a tad more challenging!
