Mail service was suspended on Friday. I don't expect mail today either with the roads still bad. Safety comes first.

North Carolina

As a result of Winter Storm Jonas, with the exception of the Rocky Mount plant, all operations have been suspended in the Greensboro area, including Greensboro P&DC, Greensboro NDC and Raleigh P&DC plants. Impacted three-digit ZIP Code areas include 270-277 and 286.

Urging all the area-newcomers to be especially careful outside. Snow on top of ice is like oil on top of granite. It can be VERY slippery.

Maybe... Durham must have gotten another heavier round of snow than Raleigh... the shots of Durham's streets on TV look worse than Raleigh's.

The Durham Freeway is largely a commuter road, it makes sense that'd be a bit worse. It's also further North / chillier ever so slightly so there's that as well.

Makes sense... I guess resources could be better allocated elsewhere. Just thinking about the amount of traffic it gets during the weekday with folks entering Durham during the week and it being a major state highway , I was perplexed by it looking so bad. But your reasoning make sense.

So sorry for the folks who died traveling the roads in NC and for the families they left behind.

Please stay safe everyone.

Very icy. I tried to check with a tape measure how much accumulation we got. Seems to be around 2.5 to 3 inches. It's pretty solid so you can't just stick the tape measure in like with just snow. I don't plan to head out at all today.
