Enjoy Now, Pa For It Later During the first month or so, the Winter of '78 was par for the course for Elizabeth City. When it was cold-it was clear, and when it was cloudy-it was mild. Eagle students began to despair of ever experiencing that magic white stuff, those six-pointed wonderflakes, SNOW! But, early into 1979, the onslaught of cold weather arrived. During a span of three weeks, encompassing late January and early February, native southerners were chilled, but delighted, by the arrival of four snowfalls. The first snow of 1979 came late one school day and-alas-provided little more than a pretty dusting. Still, pupils managed to turn a very slight snowfall into a multitude of snowballs and depar- ture from Northeastern that day proved more hazardous than driving home. The next snow occurred a few days later in the dead of night. The two inches that sal . ws.. W . 16 Student Life fell glazed roads, and pupils were provided a holiday. The rain that began that morning, however,melted away the white stuff before the first Snowmen could be built. Shortly after, on the Sunday after- noon before George's birthday, Elizabeth City became immersed in a blizzard as did the entire Eastern seaboard. While New York and Washington received up to two feet of accumulation, the seven inches that fell i.n Pasquotank County seemed almost too good to be true. Stu- dents missed that Monday and reported to school late the following day. Though Yankees may have laughed at the turmoil that resulted from a few inches of snow, Northeastern students would not have traded those few white days for anything . . .except for the extra days which were tacked on at the end of the school year. Below: Members of the yearbook staff appear rather shocked that snow really does fall in Elizabeth City.
