North Carolina High School Dismisses Early Due To Fire Nearby

Students at Lake Norman High School got an unscheduled long weekend. The Mooresville, NC high school dismissed students early Friday due to a fire nearby. A  transformer caught fire on Doolie Road close to the school. As a precaution and so Duke Energy could safely extinguish the fire and repair the transformer students were dismissed beginning at 9:15 A.M.  Power also needed to be turned off in the area so the repairs could take place.

Earlier this school year Lake Norman High School students were dismissed early due to a skunk in the school! Who knows what these North Carolina high school students will see next- a skunk, a fire, hopefully nothing else crazy!

Here are 8 Ways to Spend Your Winter Days in Charlotte

• 1. Take a Brewery Tour

  We have a lot of beer here in Charlotte. There are actually 30+ breweries throughout the Queen City and there’s nothing like wearing your favorite sweater and enjoying a cold brew. If you need something to do on a cold winter day, try doing a brewery tour. In addition to charming fire pits and fun taprooms, you can also enjoy the winter season by discovering new beers.

• 2. Go See A Panthers Game

  Share

  Attending a Carolina Panthers game is a Charlotte must. With football back (Yay) who wouldn't love wrapping up in your warm team gear and cheering on our boys? Okay...you might get a little chilly out there in the stands, but the Carolina Panthers are right here in the QC and a game is a perfect way to spend the day. Wear some gloves and go, team!

• 3. Go Ice Skating

  Share

  Why not spend the morning or afternoon exercising and enjoying some ice skating? Charlotte has multiple places you can ice skate. The USWWC has an outdoor rink that opens November 11th and there is also an outdoor ice rink in Rock Hill. In addition, there is a great indoor rink in Pineville with open skate times and an indoor bar for breaks.
• 4. Go to a Charlotte Hornets Game

  Enter the swarm and take yourself to see at least one Hornet’s game this year. In the winter, you can enjoy a seat in the hive while watching some talented basketballers shoot some hoops and enjoying classic stadium concessions all in the comfort of the stands. It's warm and cozy and so much fun! A Hornets game is a memorable and exciting experience for all ages, regardless of whether basketball is your thing.

• 5. Go to the Movies

  I love the movies. Now that they are back open, you can keep warm and be entertained by heading to one of our many Charlotte movie theaters.

• 6. Go to the Spa

  Share

  Need to relax? How about a day all about YOU? The spa is just the place. Charlotte has a bunch of spas and it's a great way to enjoy a winter day. A visit to the spa in winter is truly a leisure everyone should experience.
• 7. Take A Carriage Ride

  Share

  You will find this unique winter attraction pure bliss if you love horses and Charlotte as much as we do. Located at the intersection of Trade and Tryon, Charlotte Center City Carriage Tours offers a delightful way to see uptown Charlotte. You will receive a blanket during this historical and magical journey, and you are welcome to pet the horses before and after. You can see more on scheduling a carriage ride at their website.

• 8. Go Golfing Indoors

  There are two Charlotte locations for Top Golf. During winter, Topgolf's heated, climate-controlled bays are the perfect place to warm up. I've done this before and I loved it! There are drinks, golf, and snacks to enjoy.
