It is Wednesday, February eleventh, two thousand twenty six, and Sara is back with the Murphy Morning Show, bringing you local news, community notes, and a quick three day weather outlook for Murphy, North Carolina.Today, we begin with the lingering impacts from the recent winter storms across Cherokee County. Officials say main roads are improving, but shaded back roads, bridges, and curves can still hide black ice, especially early and late in the day. We share fresh reminders on safe winter driving, including slowing down, avoiding unnecessary trips during alerts, and keeping an emergency kit in your vehicle.We also highlight a timely message from The Cherokee Scout’s “Fifty Two Things to Celebrate About Cherokee County” series, encouraging simple acts of loving your neighbor as Valentine’s Day approaches. From checking on seniors after the storms to sharing kindness with families still juggling disruptions, those small gestures matter.On the county government side, we recap ongoing discussion around Cherokee County’s resolution opposing what leaders describe as misuse of the federal Antiquities Act, and why officials frame it as a local land use and property rights issue.In community updates, we preview downtown Murphy’s “Second Saturday Shop and Sip” on Saturday, February fourteenth, from two o’clock in the afternoon until five o’clock in the evening, plus a look ahead toward spring events like the Murphy Spring Festival in early May.Subscribe, like, and turn on notifications so you never miss a show.
