Snow Days
We don't get an awful lot of snow here in North Carolina. We certainly get snow each year, and experienceda blizzard of four feet in April 1993. But we don't get it like our friends up north get snow. I wonder what it's like to have to deal with heavy snow all the winter long. You're probably prepared for it better than us southerners. With the road departments scraping constantly. We don't have the resources to purchase a lot of this type of equipment, since we may only have a dozen snows all season. And sometimes, we run out of sand, or chat, salt, or other items used to melt or remove snow. That's when it comes to a stand-still around here. And no one can get anywhere because the roads are as bad as the yards. Further down south, I've seen people pull their car over off the interstate and leave it there. Then phone for a ride home. You'll see 100's of cars parked in all typed of positions down the major highways. Now that's a little extreme. I love snow and I'm looking forward to those first flakes of the season.
