Everybody be careful out this next few day's/nights. Looks like it could really get nasty outside on the roads.

Twernt near that bad at our place. Thin film on deck was about it. Sidewalks and driveway were fine. Roads were fine on the way into work. Wish I could say the same for the other drivers.

Apparently out in the country of Alamance county the roads were pretty rough. My district alone had four wrecks before 10am, when we normally only get about a wreck a week, if that. My road to hwy 87 was a little slippery as well, especially where it meets 87. I thought I was about to slide into the main road for a couple split seconds lol

Could be worse, but it's 30 degrees, and some drizzle coming down.

Seems like its a little worse north of the triangle.

33 and drizzle at lunch. But the roads were fine. Water, not ice, in the ditches.

Same deal here in Apex, a little drizzle, but what ice we had is gone, and temps above freezing.

Terrible.

It's much like Virginia. We have a coast on one end and the mountains on the other. Rural in some parts and citified in others. Not quite as cold and we certainly don't get as much snow down here.

And like Larry said, depends on what part of the state you're looking to move.
