When we awoke, snow was falling and the wind was blowing hard down the river. At times, we could see the snow driven horizontally downstream. The snow was not yet sticking, so we knew the ground temperature was still above freezing; but judging from how cold it was inside the trailer, it was not much above freezing. Jody was positively gleeful -- she loves 'snow days'. If the weather ever broke, we were going to take a tour of the Biltmore Grounds and Estates, which is a sort of Hearst Castle of the East. The weather never broke. It snowed off and on all day, and the wind blew hard all the time. We hunkered down and stayed inside for the most part, eating, reading, napping, playing cards, and writing. With only three in the trailer, it was not at all cramped; I guess our standards have changed.
