CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It's been the biggest winter storm Charlotte has seen in nearly four years. While some people stayed hunkered down inside, it forced others outside.
At Freedom Park, some families came out to have fun Monday afternoon. The snow started to melt away, but families said the amount of snow didn't really matter.
It was about the experience.
"We've been doing some family sledding, it's been great," Charlie Wilkins said.
The weather meant different things to different people. The snow warmed 7-year-old Hudson Mills' heart.

"It's the best time of the year, you could go inside have hot cocoa, build a snowman, throw snowballs, lots of activities you can do when it's snowing," Mills said.
For others, it put them on ice.
"I wish we had more snow and less ice, that would've been ideal," director of Charlotte City Tennis Aaron Mullennix said. "Shoveling the ice is a little tougher."
Some Charlotteans are excited for the potential of more winter weather ahead.
"My mom and I are thinking there could be more snow on Friday," Mills said.
With the cold air lingering in the Carolinas, Larry Sprinkle and the First Warn Storm Team are monitoring another chance of wintry weather on Friday. Sprinkle said there's the opportunity for snow flurries or showers, but it's still too early to project any possible accumulation or impacts.
