There's No Day, like a Snow Day - Feb. 19th

Good morning Raleigh! It’s SNOWING (or rather it should be later this morning).

If you haven’t heard already, be careful. Snow is expected to start closer to 11am and will total anywhere from 2-4 inches… they say. Could be more, could be none.

Either way, CHILL out when you’re driving, or just stay home if you can. Even NCSU has cancelled classes for today and many employees are remote as well.

• Estella D. Patterson is set to retire as Raleigh Police Chief, the .gov Raleigh site is asking for input on what YOU would like to see in the next chief, survey here.

• Paul & Jack, a Bakery and Pastry Shop just opened on N. West St downtown, they are just down the road from the Publix location downtown for reference. More details here.

The Raleighwood Inbox is on both Facebook and Instagram now! Still working on that pesky Google Business page but it is in-progress.

The carrier pigeons with the daily news are also still an ongoing task (they keep eating the print outs, it really is quite frustrating). See you Friday!
