I'll also note that the tendency for everyone to leave work and get on the roads as soon as it starts snowing is a real problem. Once it's impromptu "rush hour" a few bad drivers and accidents can cause a serious backup. The paper reported people were in traffic jams ALL NIGHT in Raleigh. Obviously, if the cars are not moving on the roads, it's awfully hard to salt and sand! In my experience of snowy places, there isn't the mass exodus from work unless it's predicted to keep getting worse (and by worse, I mean, keep snowing indefinitely at the rate of an inch an hour or more).
mr. flea stayed at work until 8pm - his usual time, more or less - and sailed home from Raleigh. But he said I-40 was a terrible parking lot going into Raleigh.
