* The biggest storm since the Blizzard of 1993, blanketed the county with 12 inches of snow in two days. What was fun for some residents was tough on law enforcement, emergency officials, utility workers and the Department of Transportation crews. Shane Edwards, chief of the N.C. Department of Transportation’s local division, said that his crews had put down over 430 tons of salt during the storm.
* Point guard Tracey Trammell earned her 1,000th career point at Andrews, as the Lady Knights took down the Lady Wildcats, 76-36. She was 1-of-7 basketball players in western North Carolina that year to reach the mark. Prior to Trammell, Brandy Deddo was the last Lady Knight to earn 1,000 points, which she did in 2008.
