its not up to a little over 2 inches I think.

I agree, we only get snow storms every decade or so. I mean REAL snow storms. We get under an inch every other year or so. We don't know how to drive in it...I garontee the town will be shut down until its all completely gone.. :yesnod: I hope we get about a foot....if this keeps up we will have about 6 inches by morning. YES!!!! I love it!!! :)

My dad said "I can't drive in the snow"...I said "your a yankee, you grew up driving in this crap 10 months out of the year". :jester (he's from upstate new york). He said "well its been a while". I tried to talk him into going to get us some hot chocolate from the store... :lol:

I live in "North Raleigh" and we got a solid 12 inches. I'm from Syracuse NY so I don't have any problems driving in it. I used to drive on Oneida lake when it froze. But the natives are all spazzing. Accidents everywhere, roads closed, cars off in the woods. The numb-nuts with their 4 wheel drives are finding out that they can go, but they still cannot stop. Sheesh. I guess I need to move further south!

There's a senior citizen driving on the highway. His wife calls him on his cell phone and in a worried voice says, ''Herman, be careful! I just heard on the radio that there was a madman driving the wrong way on Route 280!''
Herman says, ''I know, but there isn't just one, there are hundreds!''
