sailorzeoOkay, now I know Cyn wasn't lying about how people here react to snow. I'm in Cary, NC. There was a frickin' HALF-INCH of snow. There is a state of emergency declared, and the roads were gridlocked.
I'm from NY and OH. Half an inch is NOTHING. Hell, most days, half a FOOT is nothing! Matt (my husband) and I went out to Sams Club to renew our membership and get some stuff. It was about noon. We saw school buses taking kids home early. People slowed down to a crawl on the roads (which at that time were fairly clear). Students are stranded overnight at schools because their parents can't get out to get them.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm going to last down here. Then I think about moving to AZ, where people freak out driving if it _rains_. Whoo boy....
