Eastern NC Blizzard!!!!!!

Holy cow! Its freaking nuts! I cant wait for the town and local economy to come to a screeching halt, as this blizzard takes a its deadly hold on Greenville.





Yes if you look closely you can see that freakishly frozen water falling from the sky!





Note: I haven't seen snow in like 3 years! Please don't laugh too hard.







And yes, I am parked in someone else's parking spot. But its ok... ITS FREAKING SNOWING!

Re: Eastern NC Blizzard!!!!!!

I had to drive to Columbia, SC from DC several years ago when southern Virginia and NC were hammered with snow and ice storms.

That's a road trip I shall never forget.

Re: Eastern NC Blizzard!!!!!!

Yep, it's coming down Chris and your reaction makes you and official Eastern North Carolinian ! I'm actually kind of surprised the schools didn't close today-seriously they do that around here-one hint of winter weather and they close. We are totally unprepared for snow/sleet here so the roads go to crap quick and we have a lot of bridges over creeks and river which freeze up fast.

Yeah, we just got the email from the office in Raleigh about "if you feel unsafe, go home". But being in a construction site... that would be wussy. HAHA

It maybe wussy but you get an excuse to leave for the day!- That is one draw back to owning a 4x4- no one will beleive you if you say you can't get somewhere but 4wheels on ice are twice as usless as 2wds. When I had my Nissan Frontier crew in upstate SC (where they do get more snow/ice) co-workers would call me to get them into the office so staying home was out of the question- damn thing always made it with out any problems too!
