[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 331976, member: 1967"] Our schools are closed today, too. We got about 1/2 inch of snow but the real problem was the roads. The 1/2 inch that we did get froze when the temperature dropped rapidly. The weather people described it as a "flash freeze." So the roads were terrible this morning with several multiple car pile-ups on the interstates. The neighborhood roads were sheets of ice. Nancy, having grown up in NY, I laughed when I moved here and saw the snow panic for the first time. However, in the southerners' defense, if they waited until the snow plows came, they would never get to leave their houses. There are not enough snow plows or sand trucks in the metro area to get to the neighborhood streets so everyone just waits it out until the snow or ice melts (usually in a day or two luckily). There were some bad ice storms in the past, though, where people got stuck in their homes for a week without food or electricity. I think that is why southerners rush to the store . . . just in case. LOL ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
