Jack Frost strikes again
Winter weatlier returns to an already winter-ed out Transylvania
County
by Travis Wireback
Editor in Chief
Once again, Transylvania County was
blanketed with snow after another day
of wintry weather This snow solidifies
the winter of 2010 as one of the snowiest
in recent memory. Asheville Regional
Airport, down the road from Brevard,
which generally receives about 13 inches
of snowfall, has received almost 39 inches
this year, nearing the record of 48.2 inches,
set in 1968-69.
This unusual winter in Brevard has put
a strain on most faculty, staff and students.

Psychology professor Steve Martin and
school nurse Susan Martin have had a
particularly rough time with the weather this
year, beginning with the
first storm in December
which snowed them in
for three days.
Because they live on
a ridgetop, which is only
accessible by a private
road, the Martins have
had to miss at least a day
of work with each snow
storm while waiting on
snowplows to clear their
road for them. In fact,
the last snow forced
them to walk a half mile
to get to their house
once the road became
too treacherous.
History professor. Dr Bob Bauslaugh,
has had a different experience with the
snow. Dr Bauslaugh lives by the Post
Alumni Casey Asbill-Beck braves an epic
sied hiii and is rewarded with a facepiant/
beiiyfiop
Office and Fire Department, and because of
his proximity to these two places, has had
his road plowed first and power restored
before most other
people.
However, Bauslaugh
has experienced a
different set of troubles,
including the amount
of school that his son,
a middle-schooler,
has had to miss due to
inclement weather Not
only has the snow and
ice caused Transylvania
County Schools to
extend the school
year into the summer
and begun a Saturday
School regimen, but
they have also had
shortened Spring Break to just two days.
