SNOW in Raleigh!
So I moved further south fully anticipating that I wouldn't see snow anymore (not that I saw much in KY) but I woke up to this:
No action shots yet though.. It's still snowing and people drive like maniacs when it's only raining. I'm fairly positive someone would slide into me if I venture out onto the roads

Yeah, snow is unusual for this area. Raleigh and Statesville get it more frequently then Charlotte but, even there it's pretty rare. We generally get ice and freezing rain which is no fun at all.

I got about 2 inches so far. The roads are crappy. Sheet of snow then ice then the road. NOt good for anything at all. ALthough I did go out and practice the old Scandinavian flick and the car handled beautifully.
6am got up and ready to go to work left with plenty of time to go but the boss called when I was halfway there and said we would be closed until 9am- returned home.
8:30 left and again the boss called and said we would re-evaluate the roads at noon. So on the way home I took the long way through the neighborhooddrifting every corner thru nicely.Then when I got to the entrance of my subdivision, I went to turn and the evo went straight. She slid onto the sidewalk sideways with the rear tires on the road, the fronts on the sidewalk. Since the whip is so low I thought the sideskirts wer toast, but I just barely had clearance. I got off the sidewalk and headed straight home. I am thinking of taking the day off if we have to report.

Nice pics Justin
And the comment about people in NC not being able to drive to begin with is dead on! It's bad enough in the rain so I can't imagine them in the snow.
11 o'clock and still snowing... Looks like no work for me today!
