Wilmington, NC Area Local Happenings – January 2025

It snowed! I think we were all a little excited to see snow accumulate in the Wilmington area! It was fun for a day, we got about four inches, and everything including indoor pickleball, hot yoga, Harris Teeter, Starbucks, and every restaurant closed! I know because it was my husband’s birthday and there was nowhere to take him for dinner. I grabbed the last filet at the grocery store (that I can walk to) five minutes before they closed. People were outside enjoying it, and even ice skating on the street outside South End Surf Shop and Sundays! It was fun to see snow at the beach, which happens every so often, and I think we are all ready for it to warm up and melt now. Read more about it here:
