I'm just thankful someone made the right decision and postponed the concert. You might could have gotten there ok, but by the time the concert was over the roads would have been iced over. I've seen a lot of people complaining about the Governor's call, but she made the right choice. This was the only way the RBC center would have postponed and no one was going to just throw away their expensive tickets and not go. Sometimes the government has to protect us from the greedy and on rare occasion they actually do.

How many husbands are thanking the Lord that the Celine Dion concert was canceled tonight..."Oh sorry honey...tomorrow night we can't get a sitter, guess you can either go alone or get a refund!"

Can someone with Wake schools explain why they wait so long to close schools? Make a decision, for pete's sake. Some people need to go ahead and plan for tomorrow. Snow = can't be reassigned by chucky although I'm sure he'd like to try.

find it odd that one of the golo'ers posted she had about 8 inches of snow in Clayton but Raleigh doesn't have that much....wow.

We live in So. Wake about 10 miles from Clayton and we had about 8 inches. Why is this so hard to believe?

Im glad to see all of you safe here but, not matter if you have AWD/ 4WD or traction control in your vehicle driving carefully or not going out in this type of weather are your safest option. I notice since this morning two separate accidents and one thing that I notice about the accidents people failed to slow down. Some people think that driving through snow is just like driving on a sunny day (if you live in a busy street just look outside and you'll see what I mean). Please be safe anyone and have a bless one.

...can you say "Chicken Little" ?? I can't imagine what she will do when we have a real emergency. Call in the national Guard?

Yeah, low gear is a bad idea. Oh, and if Perdue didn't declare a state of emergency most of the people on this site would be whining that she wasn't doing enough.
