Snow Update

Hey, guess what? It snowed in North Carolina. I kid you not. No, we did not get the 10-14 inches that were predicted, we got 5 here by me. Not much, right? Well, you would be wrong.

As the snow was moving in Friday night, the National Guard were on call. By the time I woke up on Saturday morning, the snow had basically turned to freezing rain. No one went anywhere all day. Sunday, all church services were canceled. Monday, schools were closed. Um...in case you were wondering, the snow and freezing rain had STOPPED on Saturday afternoon. There were no plows going through the neighborhoods, most of the main roads weren't cleared.

Today (Monday) the temps were in the high 40's to almost 50 degrees. The melting that was going on was amazing. When I went out this morning, it was like going through a waterfall to get to the doorway of where I was going. Now all of the roads are slushy and STILL the plows have not come through. It will be near freezing tonight. Schools are closed for Tuesday.

I understand how we are in the south and we hardly ever get snow and so they don't have the equipment that is needed. It's just at points like this that make me crazy. Someone clear the damn roads! Soon!

Please...
