Panic in the South

They are predicting 3 -5" here in eastern NC and schools and some businesses have already announced delayed starts or closures. Biggest problems are the motorists who don't know how to handle snow. There's only one thing to do....

It seems you can't trust anyone these days. The local weatherman said the only accumulation would be in the mtns.
Here in the valley there's already a quarter inch on the ground!

This isn't the best pic but It's all I have at the moment.

I think that part of the reason people go out and buy the "essentials" when snow is forecast is that we used to have this thing called Winter, when an icy substance called Snow when descend from the heavens and blanket the countryside, where it would stay for several days. One winter in the mid-1950's, there was snow every Wednesday for 6 weeks, which would close school. It took forever to make up the time.
Now, however, due to various causes, we no longer have Winter. Instead we have subdivisions, and their homeowners' associations won't allow snow, due to legal constraints and the cost of cleanup.

A former neighbor once called her husband at work, informing him of the impending snowstorm, and instructing him to bring home Mt. Dew and Reese's cups.

There are idiots here that can't handle it here, and they grew up with it, I can't imagine the idiots + rookies down there.

On a side note, my uncle that lives in FL used to be in the Navy, and because he is from Ohio, somehow ended up with a snow shovel in his house in FL. His wife thought it was odd, but the second winter they were together, it snowed, and while she was freezing, she watched him out the window collecting the snow from the other sidewalks and using it to build a snowman in their yard.
