As a former Bostonian and Buffalonian... it's not the snow, it's the ice. I've seen far worse driving conditions around here with the ice than I ever saw up north. Don't take this lightly.
I'm not taking it lightly; I was here last winter when 2" of snow would shut the town down for four days. I just find it funny that it inspired so much discussion before the snow even started.
Sounds like we're getting some sleet here in SE Garner. Saw a tiny amount of snow about a half an hour ago but that was it.
As a former Bostonian, I just have to say I'm cracking up that this thread was started on Friday and reached close to a hundred posts before the snow started flying. A potential 2" of snow is big news...
We don't have the resources to deal with icy roads so be careful since you can't see black ice. Watch how many accidents there will be tomorrow morning when yahoo's think they can drive without salt/brine
Fyi, if your grocery store(Harris Teeter) has run out of emergency or scented candles look in the Jewish food section. They hadn't been touched at the HT near my house.
I couldn't get my generator started, but I have plenty of food, candles, propane heat, alcohol, and batteries. This will be my first ice storm in several years. I really miss the snow we had last winter in Chicago.

I love snow... hate ice. I wish we'd gotten a couple inches of snow at least before this ice started in. Bleh.

And when you light them, say "Baruch Atah Adonai..."
