A blanket of snow covered the area Sunday night, February 27 and
by Monday morning it ranged from 2 to 10 inches depending on
where you were. The WKYK-WTOE building is in an area that
received about 4 inches before it started melting.
This snow-covered view of Celo Knob was taken by Sandra Matheny
on Wednesday March 2nd.

The
national spotlight will shine on Western North Carolina beginning
March 21 when Mountain Air, an award-winning, private
residential community located just north of Asheville, will be
featured on a national airing of The Travel Channel's
Million Dollar Planes television show.
The
segment on Mountain Air will be one of four featured during the
hour-long show dedicated to luxury air travel. The segment will
center on the lives of Tom and Toni Oreck, Mountain Air property
owners who access the community via a sleek and speedy,
single-engine turboprop
Pilatus aircraft.
In
fact, the original focus of the show was to be on the
Pilatus, but when the production
company arrived at Mountain Air they shifted the focus over to the
lifestyle amenities at the community, and how the airplane becomes
the facilitator for the Oreck family's retreat to the magic of the
mountaintop.
Another focus of the segment will be Mountain Air's uncommon and
dramatic private runway. Perched nearly a mile in the sky at an
elevation of 4,500 feet above sea level, the runway is the highest
in the country east of Denver Stapleton Airport.
The
Million Dollar Planes show is scheduled to air on Monday,
March 21 at 8pm and 11pm EST. Additional airings are scheduled for
Sunday, March 27 at 5pm; Monday, May 23 at 8 and 11pm; and Sunday,
May 29 at 5pm.
"We
are deeply indebted to the Oreck family for taking a full day out
their busy schedule to spend time with the Travel Channel film crew,
says Randy Banks", President of Mountain Air. "They are consummate
ambassadors for the community and we're grateful for the goodwill
they continually spread around the country."
