Snow

a nearby coworker with 4-wheel drive is going to the office to get her laptop, and has offered to get mine as well.

looks like a mess out there on I-40.

Last night Drew pointed to multiple resources that indicated strong chance of snow last night. No mention of it last night on the local news.

This morning, the locals news says, "whoa...this one came out of nowhere!!!"

Please explain.

77 is a mess as well according to maps and reports. Roads should improve soon with the road crews putting in work.
 
had 2-3 inches here in the mountains.
Buncombe county did a decent job with prepping the roads, but Haywood county didn't seem to do anything. At best, I-40 in Haywood county was covered in snow except for the parallel tracks exposing pavement in one lane and at worst it was just completely covered in compact snow/slush. For the most part 19/23-74 (a 4 lane highway) in Waynesville was completely covered in snow and slush. Had I known the roads were going to be this crappy I would've have come to work, but usually the roads are pre-treated and pretty passable as long as it's only a few inches.

40 was a god damn war zone. Made it to work, but it took me an hour and a half. It was really slick out there, and with all the wrecks it was hard to just consistently go slow. Got stopped going uphill a few times with traffic, so getting going again with a 2WD pickup was not fun.

Rev nailed it. People drive like idjits in snow around here. The roads today are perfectly passable IF you drive slowly, lay off the breaks and proceed with caution. No northern snob here either.

Huffman's call map for tomorrow - take it (does not include the totals from today - some ensembles will so take note):

And it will be predicted to be 5-7 inches and we will actually get 1.5 inches and the entire state of North Carolina will cease to function for the next 5 days.

There are times when I want to just pick up and move to Florida.

And then I remember how crazy Floridians are.
