So after my bitching earlier we got a solid 4" at my house in joco (that's what she said)
Still coming down slowly too. If we got this much in such a short period of time I'm sure there will be some ridiculous totals reported around the area 1/17/2018 8:59:01 PM |

Let's not forget that 5pm Monday news forecast for the area was dusting to maybe an inch...

Woke up from a easy chair in front of the fire nap and tried to check the snow thread. Server error, went back to sleep. Woke up and checked again and all was well. 1/17/2018 10:17:57 PM |

i had to run to the office this morning to check on things because we lost power and apparently had an issue with emergency power. it was fine really early this morning because it was cold enough that the icy sections had some traction, but driving home when the sun was out was a lot worse because the icy sections turned to slick slush.
I-40 is okay although not all lanes are clear in certain areas, busy side streets are okay-ish but other side streets are in bad shape. 1/18/2018 10:03:45 AM |

Please remember to clean the snow and ice off the top of your car truck or van before you hit the highway! I see you people every time it snows and your huge sheet of ice comes off in one big chunk and kills the driver behind you. Don't do this. 1/18/2018 12:38:43 PM |

The car grooming is a liability issue as well.
It has not gotten nearly as warm as they had forecasted. 1/18/2018 2:05:29 PM |

^^ decently traveled roads in raleigh were looking okay at lunch time, only issues i saw were shaded side streets. everything is melting pretty well 1/18/2018 2:12:13 PM |

Carrboro main roads were fine. Side roads were....okay in the sunny spots but a shit show in the shade. And my parking lot was a fucking nightmare. Took like 4 people to get my car pushed out even after I had cleaned out around it. Fun times! 1/18/2018 5:10:14 PM |

The death sheets really need to have a large surface area:volume ratio so they soar through the air before landing, like the 5x10 plank that came off the van in front of me and exploded on the windshield of the car behind me. If you really want them to run off the road or cause a pile-up you have to be careful 1/18/2018 7:20:03 PM |

I'm guessing the roads are all fine and whatever now? My weekend job got canceled and I've been working from home and haven't left my apartment complex since I picked up my dog from the groomer on Tuesday afternoon. I'm getting some major cabin fever. I would like to venture out tomorrow and go get some coffee or something. 1/19/2018 4:53:16 PM |

Did you get out Shawna? I was the only one that had to go out on Friday at lunchtime. Getting out of the apartment complex was a pain in the ass. The side streets were still shitty in the shade but the main roads were pretty much clear. Should be good today. 1/20/2018 3:27:19 PM |

Yeah the dog and I took a ride to Durham.
Seemed like the further east we got, the better roads were. The only real ice I saw was in my apartment complex. 1/20/2018 4:45:03 PM |

Oh I forgot to mention that in Durham I saw a car stuck sideways in a ditch just wide enough for the car. I bet the people had a hell of a time getting out of the car. 1/20/2018 6:38:14 PM |
