10 Water Moccasin Secrets Most North Carolina Residents Never Knew

Along the edges of North Carolina’s swamps, slow-moving rivers, and quiet coastal wetlands, a dark snake may appear almost motionless among fallen leaves and tangled vegetation. It might be resting on a muddy bank, floating through shallow water, or disappearing beneath a patch of shoreline plants. For people who encounter one, the first question is often whether it is a water moccasin or one of the harmless water snakes that share the same habitat. The confusion is understandable because several North Carolina snakes have dark bodies, similar patterns, and a habit of swimming.

Will NC get a snowy winter? Here's what one state forecast says

The question isn’t whether this year’s winter will have an El Niño pattern. It’s a matter of whether it will be the strongest on record. “The consequences for North Carolina are plentiful, with a pattern change in the cards that could ease our long-running drought, but that could also see more frequent flooding, erosion and coastal overwash ,” according to the North Carolina Climate Office’s winter outlook. A record El Niño puts North Carolina “in uncharted waters,” but it’s likely the state will see more rain and precipitation, with some of the past strongest El Niños producing some of North Carolina’s wettest winters. But that doesn’t necessarily mean snow. “For one, thanks to broader warming trends in our climate, consistently cool weather has been hard to come by in recent years,” according to the Climate Office’s outlook. “In fact, 13 of our past 15 winters have been warmer than the 20th-century average.” The State Climate Office is forecasting “overall above-normal temperatures” and “fewer wintry events and less snowfall.” Snow lovers in western North Carolina may have the best chances of “big snow events.” “From the Triad and Charlotte eastward, the chances of significant snow are lower , and wintry events

North Carolina voted out potentially 58 years of experience. What does that mean?

North Carolina voters decimated their current congressional delegation, electing at least seven new members to the next Congress, and potentially losing 58 years of collective experience. “Congress runs on seniority, and we just lost a lot of seniority from the North Carolina congressional delegation,” said Chris Cooper, a political science professor from Western Carolina University. From the best committee assignments to pork projects to offices on the Hill, losing senior members could have ripple effects for North Carolinians. But all is not lost. “The entire Congress runs based on a combination of majority party control and seniority,” Cooper said. “So North Carolina will once again be aligned with the majority.” North Carolina chose to swap seven House Republicans for seven House Democrats, as the left-leaning party took control of both chambers. “The majority of North Carolina’s congressional delegation will once again be aligned with the majority party control, but in terms of seniority, we will be much lower down the list,” Cooper said. “Sometimes freshmen can get impressive committee assignments. (Rep.) Chuck Edwards ended up on Appropriations in his first term in office, so it doesn’t mean that you can’t be effective, or you can’t get a good committee assignment.
