So muchg for a free country.In Ma if you are out driving you will get a year in jail and or $500 fine. "What's the problem with those PEOPLE up there??? Geesh, learn to drive already!"

At least "Up There",they wait until there is actually snow before they close the malls and stores and by snow I mean Feet not warnings and flurries.

Good fortune in this hitting on the weekend when people are more apt to stay home.

Cars will not do well in snow higher than the clearance under the car...they don't plow every well. Northern drivers are more experienced in snow and on ice than southern drivers & the highway crews are more plentiful and better equipped, but I hope they heed the warnings to stay home and enjoy the winter weather rather than hit the roads to defy it. The smart ones will.

It was on the interstate, people not from the area on those roads as well. And considering it was snow and freezing rain, not surprised.

"the people in the north are used to this kind of weather and get around just fine."

and they do, provided the plows can keep up - I'm one of those that lived up there.

When it's drifting and the drifts are higher than your car, nope, you can't drive around.

That kind of weather would not only shut down the Triangle Area, but make all of the crazies hit the roads. God forbid that happens down here. With all of the dumb drivers we have in Raleigh, there would be gridlock everywhere. friskymonkey2 February 8, 2013 5:13 p.m

Amen Frikymonkey, all the dumb people in Raleigh make it a tough place to live and drive. And of course only approximately 20% of the dumb people in Raleigh are actually from North Carolina.
