Not when I was there. They were all out driving and trying to step on the gas as hard as they could to get out of being stuck at the intersections. Northerners would know better.

*LOL* You are made to change your license plates within 30 days of migration. Ha! Those were NJ drivers, honest.
My hubby made me say that!

We have about 5 inches with a thick layer of ice.
There are kids, galore, sliding down the street and hurting themselves.
Fun!

I spent more time trying to avoid the horrible southern drivers than I did worrying about the snow on the road. It was like demolition derby. Here's a hint for all of you- stepping hard on the gas will NOT get you away from that snow covered intersection faster.

Cheyenne, I agree with you about the drivers. I live in Charlotte (actually a suburb) and am staying home today because I don't want to risk getting into a wreck caused by some dumb ass who can't drive normally much less with snow on the ground. It just isn't worth it.

I will defend our state though. We do not "normally" see snow, therefore have no equipment (well of any consequence or numbers) to deal with it when we do get it. See we do not get snow that often therefore don't have any budgets to buy alot of equipment to deal with it. Therefore the roads go unsanded, unsalted, unslagged. That is over half the problem, the other half is people who think that their car will react just like it does in normal weather.

I did drive home yesterday from Columbia SC (about 110 miles or so) and just laughed when I saw people come flying by me (I was doing a nice steady 45 MPH on ice) and then they start "weaving" in and out of cars........all the while saying to myself "I will see that guy in a ditch" and sure enough, in the ditch they went.

Being that I was born in MN, lived in Detroit, Penn Hills PA, Monroeville PA and Baltimore MD (not to mention all the driving travel I have done) I do know how to drive in snow and ice (though ice is tough anyways........) but choose most of the time not to in Charlotte because there are idiots (whom I might add are from NC and places north of here) who cannot drive in snow/ice and are willing to risk everyone's lives for a "few extra minutes" of their time.

It just ain't worth it.

Oh there is proof...

But Tiger, dear, while YOU have tiger treads, some of us have to find shelter from these elements. I may be a wild Violette, but I'll take cold ground under my feet over snow-covered ground ANY day of the week!

As for you Dom, hang in there. Southerner or Yank, we all have one thing in common with snow: it doesn't matter how deep the damn thing is, it will always make you crazy...

Me, I still wonder about how many inches I'll get!

Thank goodness the snow stopped and school is going to happen after a 2 hour delay.

And Tiger let me tell ya,you wont have to worry about me driving in the snow. I had already bought my milk and bread so I didnt have to drive.
