Well, we had the one inch snow yesterday. Hundreds of accidents, as noted here.
Could have been worse---look at what happened in Raleigh, where some of my family lives.....
I see two reasons for the problems....
1) No one saw the snow coming, so road crews weren't ready. Not their fault, certainly....
2) The snow, albeit not much of an amount, was that nasty slippery wet crap. Very fine, very wet, and perfect for sliding off the road if you're not really careful (see last night's snow posting).
So, tonight, here comes round two, another clipper, another inch, maybe more. Coming home from work tonight, after a side trip to Office Max and Ukrops (no, I did NOT buy bread!), the back roads were getting tougher, while the main roads were just wet.
Then, once this clipper leaves in the AM, we get some whammy of a storm over the weekend with, well, snow....or snow and sleet and freezing rain.....or just ice....or maybe a changeover to rain for awhile.....and there's also a slight chance of varmits!
So, we'll see what happens while we sleep, and not lose sleep over whatever shows up over the weekend.
But we are STILL VERY THANKFUL there's no more newspaper route to contend with!!!
