I was at Bragg 2000=2003. I probably used your old office furniture (we used to dumpster dive at Pope to upgrade our office furnishings).

One more pic from Raleigh.
Look at the people just walking around in the middle of the road. Would hate to be caught in that traffic jam

Oof. Probably the only good thing about all of this up here is the timing - starts this evening and is supposed to be heavy enough overnight that most will stay home.

I see it now. My bad. They confused me because it showed Wednesday night, then Wednesday with (obviously) no accumulation on Wednesday.They have it broken down by time period. 3-5" tonight, 3-5" tomorrow, 1-3" tomorrow night.

Stupid question, but are we suppose to add all that together to find out what our total should be? Mine had 8-12 Wednesday night, 5-8 Thursday, and 1-3 Thursday night. Combined that would be 14-23 inches, and I don't think any local places are talking about anything near that amount.They have it broken down by time period. 3-5" tonight, 3-5" tomorrow, 1-3" tomorrow night.

Always felt bad for the Bragg guys. Not that our food was horrible it was just institutional you know? But to see the Bragg guys you'd think they'd died and gone to The Palm.when they got to hit our chow hall.

Local roads are jammed... much heavier traffic than usual. And grocery store parking lot has lines to get in.
Guessing I'll end up with 10-12" in my back yard. More if it doesn't turn to sleet in the AM.

After it took me 30 minutes to drive maybe a block this afternoon I found a nice parking lot and walked the remaining 3.5 miles home. Ended up helping push a ton of people so they could at least get up a hill / get out of the way of other cars.
I am out of shape. And sore.

Friend who moved to NC 3 years ago was whining about the snow/ice coming down today.

annoyingly so. He 62, has a beautiful 39-year-old wife, and is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Rich, genuinely caring, and very well-connected.

Negative, Raleigh. I think my car would have been fine, but any sort of incline and people were just basically stopped waiting for someone to help push them.

They're backing off of some of the predictions in South Jersey but we still just got the call they're closing schools tomorrow.

When the snow comes quick and in the middle of the day while people are rushing to get home or to the store, it's hard to plow the roads before they get congested.

right. but everyone knew the snow was coming. i just dont understand. we get this amount of snow up north and there is no issue. yea it takes a while to get home but people arent stranded on a highway all night. this just seems crazy to me. Especially a week after it happened in atlanta when you know this storm is coming.

People have abandoned cars in fast moving storms but it is far less common. I would imagine there's not a lot of plows down there in the best of circumstances though.right. but everyone knew the snow was coming. i just dont understand. we get this amount of snow up north and there is no issue. yea it takes a while to get home but people arent stranded on a highway all night. this just seems crazy to me.

With how some people were trying to navigate the roads, (e.g. mashing the accelerator while just spinning their wheels) a blown out engine does not surprise me in the least. I was trying to help push this idiot in a van who was standing with the driver's door open, petal to the floor, telling us to push harder. Settle down, guy.I guess. i just saw this and this is just madness http://www.buzzfeed.com/passantino/potentially-catastrophic-ice-storm-bears-down-on-the-southPeople have abandoned cars in fast moving storms but it is far less common.

I can only assume it caught people by surprise. Forecast says a few inches. In NC, that's not going to seem like a big deal to most. I'd guess people planned on traveling as normal, maybe cutting out of work a couple hours early. Next thing you know, a bunch of people are on the roads, and there just aren't as many plows as up North (and not much lead time to get them going).I guess. i just saw this and this is just madness http://www.buzzfeed.com/passantino/potentially-catastrophic-ice-storm-bears-down-on-the-southPeople have abandoned cars in fast moving storms but it is far less common.

People think they'll be fine on the roads, and maybe for 95% of them, they are right. But only takes a couple people to screw up on a highway, and everybody else is ####ed.
NC and VA aren't too different in dealing with snow, but VA folk were told a massive amount of snow was coming and for most of VA, it's coming late afternoon or later. I'd guess you won't see what happened in Raleigh happen in VA.

and the lack of salt definitely makes the roads more difficult to navigate even if you are a decent winter driver. Also, it is difficult to take off before the snow even starts, but by that time today you were f'ed.

At this point, if you're on the roads down there, you deserve whatever happens to you.

Just hanging here in Philly at a hotel. My wife has the kids at home again tomorrow, but the worst of it will be gone, just going to be near impossible for her to go anywhere. Hopefully, it will all melt by Friday so I can get home. All the folks at my office here said they aren't coming in, so working from the hotel room. Hit Wegman's on the way back tonight for dinner and stocked the fridge for tomorrow in case I can't get out at all.
