"Like I said freezing rain and the state shuts down,ha ha ha .You make fun of the northern folks,but they see this and they will laugh you farther on down south,ha ha ha" - Uhavenoclu

Freezing rain is far, far worse than snow.

Not really,ICE is the worse and freezing rain you can get through if you know how to drive in it.

So this is asking a-lot and may be silly asking for obvious reasons .BE CAREFUL IN THE MORNING AND OVERNIGHT,DON'T LET IT GO IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER .

Many businesses and shopping centers – including Triangle Town Center, Crabtree Valley Mall and the Streets at Southpoint – also announced early closings and sent employees home.

"Where did the story about the school bus crash go to?

Are those kids going to be ok?"

Looking at the photo that was up showing the position of the bus I would say no one was hurt. The bus was bumped from the rear by a car, bus slid off the road. Since the floor of the bus is higher than the hood of cars, it absorbs the impact pretty well without affecting riders.

Looked like a slow motion accident situation.

Prepare for the worst hope for the best. Routinely count on 4-6 hr. earlier arrival than the weather guru's forecast I've learned as good rule of thumb! When they predict no stickum, best stock up and get ready, lol! Wrong again! Be safe all!

susanjreich - and even if sunny tomorrow, there are lots of shady spots on Old Stage that will keep it dangerous tomorrow too.

Old Stage Road was a skating rink from 401 through the 11 miles south I trekked. The roads were bad but everyone was traveling at safe speeds so it was fine, but there were plenty of cars off the road in the ditches and one f150 hit a tree - the whole front end was smashed in, so I suspect he was one of the not-so-smart drivers going too fast! Slow down and be patient.

I think the news people are now downplaying it because they forecasted not much. The roads are really bad. Be careful

Still a steady stream of sleet falling here in Fuquay. The icicles off the car are growing.
