Still snowing here. About two inches so far. Watched the news after lunch and was grateful to be home and not stuck in traffic.

Y'all stay safe and warm.

There was a car on it's lid between Clayton and Garner this afternoon.

Still snowing lightly here in Smithfield with maybe 2" on the ground. Is not sticking on the road in front of the house at all now.

I never kicked the truck in 4wd, we got about 2" of snow in cherry point before I left and it was turning to sleet then. In stella we got about a inch and half of snow and another inch to inch an half of ice on top of it. Everything is solid ice this morning though.

We got about 2" of snow here yesterday. I called to verify if my Physical Therapist' office would be open or not, and they said they were waiting on the ok to close. So I was rescheduled for today. I hope they make it, this temporary splint I'm in is worse than the cast I was wearing.
Y'all be safe

Bob, Hope they get you taken care of before the snowmagedon hits tonight.

Calling for up to 6 inches around the triangle. UGH.

Took me an hour and 45 to get to work this morning. I should have waited till lunch. Cars in the ditches the whole ride in. One road was blocked off completely. Once I got into town it was much better.

Yall be safe out there.

Supposed to get 1-4" here tonight. Amount depends on how the snow/rain line turns out. We are right in the zone where it could go either way.

Thanks James, yup I was able to get in for Physical Therapy yesterday (not sure about tomorrow now). And kind of what I figured, a couple of stretch exorcises to get things moving around again.
