Travel weather/driving conditions Mid-March & tourist info

We%26#39;re looking to travel March 18-21 (limited by Bubba%26#39;s high school break). It%26#39;s been eons since I%26#39;ve been to Wilmington and thought this might be the perfect time to return. We%26#39;ll be driving down and I%26#39;m hoping there won%26#39;t be any freak snow storms then! Is black ice generally a problem at that time?





Is the USS N Carolina still open? Fort Fisher? It%26#39;s probably way too soon for camelliaa/azaleas, but are there public gardens / horticultural grounds / off beat museums / historic houses/work places? (the major art and science museums just won%26#39;t get enough time for a really good visit this time around) If Bubba wanted to see some basketball, how easy is it to get tickets (pro or college)?





We would probably be staying outside the city itself and venturing in to see the sights. Bubba and I eat just about anything but fish, Hubby is more a plain pork chop / ham / breakfast food guy (we%26#39;ll be hitting every Waffle House...)so any info on steak/chop houses or barbecue places with straight ham would be appreciated.

in march you are as likely to have black ice as 70 degree days so it%26#39;s impossoble to predict. the water will be cold though, rest assured of that. i hope you have plenty of sunshine and you enjoy your safe trip. wish i could help about b%26#39;ball in the area but only know it%26#39;s a long way to any pro temas areans.

You shouldn%26#39;t have any trouble with snow/ice then, but we%26#39;re supposed to be 80 today and back to 40 by Sunday, so who knows with the weather!! The Battleship is still open as is Fort Fisher. I would highly recommend the aquarium at Fort Fisher as well. Orton Plantation will probably have some blooms by then and depending on the weather, you may get to see lots of azaleas. Basketball may be harder to come by then as it will be during the NCAA tournament. There are first round games in Raleigh at the RBC Center, but depending on if some of the more local teams are playing, tickets will be hard to come by.
