Snow Storm Entry [Updated 2:30pm]

The roads in and around Raleigh are INSANE right now!

And, the snow continues to come down. So, we thought we would do our part to contribute to information sharing and hopefully add a little value with an ‘open thread’ for people to share whatever they would like about the storm and what they are seeing and experiencing.

I guess it isn’t just Raleigh that is currently experiencing gridlock:

At 1:15pm I was out in the storm near the intersection of Wake Forest Road and Hardimont and everything was complete gridlock. There was no moving. I ended up taking Hardimont around the back of North Hills and was able to get through Six Forks and North Hills with no problem. (One thing is for sure…there is nobody at Target!) As I crossed over the beltline all you can see is bumper to bumper cars in each direction.

My experience was the exact same as “Not a Fan of Blue’s” below. The roads are full of MORONS right now!!

I also experienced the following as I was trying to call my wife to give her an update.

It’s good to see the best coming out in some people:

    Rabbit Ears Pass

    For a few minutes there I was reading through the posts wondering why Karl Hess made this thread.

    Truly.

    ice and roads don’t mix…

    but freezing rain and power lines trumps that…
    no power here at the beach since lunch yesterday….
    and it’s getting cold.

    the buckets trucks got in town early this am…
    but there are still around 20,000 or so without power….

    Dookies and Holes are having fun today calling each other chickensh%t,,,

    but they GOTT dumba%%dickie stuck in town for a week with an espn credit card….
    what could possibly go wrong with that ??

    Yeah, Bill. Figured as much when you went radio silence.

    We’ve had about a dozen momentary zaps since 3am. Sucks for ya, Dude.

    Paki …the wife kept wondering what the hell happened on Glenwood.

    Now she knows, and is satisfied.

    yep… thanks Mr. Dog…

    made it over to my daughter’s apt…

    I’m sure YOU will understand this …

    I HATE TRYING TO TYPE ON A F%^&@*G LAPTOP !!!!

    CP&L is telling some folks it could be Saturday before they get power back….

    I’m on a short street at the end of the line with lights on in all directions and with 14 houses out of power…
    No priority here….

    If there’s anybody at SFN … with CP&L creds,,,, help an old man out and send me a crew for about 15 minutes…

    Somebody mentioned “Sumter Square”? Wow!!!!!!!!! I didn’t realize it was still there…my wife lived there(when it was brand new) in 1971 when we met. I remember doing a 720 in my VW coming back from her apartment to my apartment on Avent Ferry one night in the ice…I missed a telephone pole by 3/4 of an inch!

    And Wade Avenue? We went sledding one day when we had about 12 inches back in the 70’s over there at an apartment complex…I had her VW and pushed a Cadillac up the hill with it…I still had snow tires back then having lived in Maryland before coming back to State.

    Sierra’s can get really sticky…stayed out of the snow most of the time, but have done those mountains from Tahoe down to Springville(betwixt Fresno and Bakersfield) Get lost in there and you’re dead in the snow!
