Last week we had some rain that cleaned off the streets and I could take the cars out.
However, we got an inch or so of snow and the salt came back. The forecast calls for some rain Tuesday, so maybe it will clear it off again (I hope).
I lived in AZ for about 15 years and I just can't get used to Midwest winters again. I don't mind the cold (it was below zero for 3 or 4 days this week), but I hate the salt on the roads.
i live in NE PA and you have more snow in NC than we do. last year we got 8.5 inches all year. and they say global warming isnt real. keep it down there. lol
However I have experience with the grill. It takes a lot more snow than that before you need to brush it off and while it is snowing the flakes make a nice sizzle sound as they land.
And for stocking up on beer, way ahead of you. You never can allow running low on beer. And a tip, when it is really cold the can huggies help to keep the beer from freezing up. (It was below zero here this morning and I grilled a steak for breakfast, The can huggies work if you drink fast enough.)
I drove mine to the beach house friday. It was way too cold to do much there (38*) so we just just watched football and stayed in. Its much better today, it was 51* when i left to come home.
I was a little blindsided by this snow storm. My snowblower was in front of the Corvette in the garage. I was so annoyed that my Vette got snowed on when I backed it out of my garage wheels spinning and all from the snow.
I put mine away in November and it will stay in the garage until April'ish. Around our area, the cities/state starts putting lots of different chemicals on the roads that absolutely eat cars up. There are a least a few board members that live in my general area and know what I am talking about. The stuff will get up in every nook and cranny (if you drive your car) and ruin it from the inside out.
I've lived on the west coast, in the Midwest and the southeast. Best one I ever saw was a picture out of Atlanta a few years ago. It was on an overhead traffic sign when they had some snow, it said:
"OMG It's snowing, we're all going to die".
When I was down there, I think they had maybe 6 snowplows and they were all at the airport.

We did not get much snow here in Chicagoland this year, mostly in December and it has been raining so most it has melted. It was 50 degrees F so a few of us are still driving around. Checkout the Great Lakes section.
This was the view from our house this morning. It was -34 Celsius. The visibility was terrible. We broke a record from 1909 of most snowfall for a winter already.
My wife took this picture the other day after I finished shoveling. It's getting very hard to throw the snow on the snowbank!
