So bummed about the ice > snow. But at least we're not in Boston where they ran out of places to put the snow. (trying to find the positive) (the road out of my neighborhood will be iced over for a week)

We were having a wintry weather event in the Piedmont Triad, by which I mean four or five snowflakes had been spotted in the median of I-40 between Winston-Salem and Burlington. The highway patrol had been called out to wave along the rubberneckers trying to catch the first glimpse of precipitation. Part-time baggers and checkers had been called in on their day off to man the aisles of the local Harris Teeter, which was quickly running out of bread, milk, batteries, candles, and beer...
