Those in NC-are you enjoying the snow?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

It's coming down hard and fast at my house in Davidson co.
Yankees don't laugh-We've got about 6 inches of it.
I sense a free day tomorrow! Go and enjoy mother nature.

[Misinformed01]

1. Mecklenburg County here

I WOULD be enjoying it....IF I weren't moving this weekend!! Holy shit, Snowman!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

2. What a bad time to move!

You guys down south really got nailed!

[Misinformed01]

5. Shoot yes, we got nailed

Here's the punchline:

My husband, JanMichael, is driving up from....you ready?

Florida.

[pagerbear]

3. Spoke to my mom in Wilmington this evening.

Although Wilmington hadn't gotten any snow, Whiteville schools were closed today.

God, I miss NC!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

7. The southeast of NC got some good snow earlier

My mother is from Columbus county and I think they got something.
Where are you now?

[pagerbear]

10. OMG! My mom grew up in Columbus Co!

She's in Wilmington now. I'm in NYC now. Lived all over as a kid and an adult: Delaware, Minnesota, NC, Indiana, Florida, NYC, Germany, NYC, Westchester, CT, NYC

[BlackVelvetElvis]

14. My mom's from Cerro Gordo

Population 250. Everytime we go there it reminds me of Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath". She's a depression kid. They even moved to WS in an old truck with chickens in the back.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

15. BTW, why did you go to Germany?

just curious.

[pagerbear]

25. Trying to be an opera singer

Didn't work.

And my mom's from Bolton.

4. I don't see a free day in my future for tomorrow...

Here in Chapel Hill, there isn't much on the ground. Last time I checked, it wasn't even sticking. Any chance you could send some of your Davidson co. snow up here?

[DarkPhenyx]

9. Ya'll got no sticking?

Raleigh has at least an inch on the ground, probably more. No worries though. Mosr snow in the forcast for us. I'm sure you'lll get some of it.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

12. Let's all send the snow goddess in your direction

This is a treat.

[pagerbear]

13. How about a snow fairy?

[DarkPhenyx]

6. Damn skippy I am!

Seriously looking forward to at least a late day tomorrow, if not a complete day off from work. I even "brought home work to do" so I don't ahve to take vacation time. :) Go me!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

8. I convienently left mine "at work"

I don't want to grade projects this weekend. You've been good, you get a gold star!

[DarkPhenyx]

11. All I said was I brought it home.

Never said I was going to do it did I? ;-)

[BlackVelvetElvis]

16. The mere appearance of being good, huh?

Where are you from?

[DarkPhenyx]

28. I'm here in Raleigh NC.

I work in biotech out at the park. All the stuff I brought home is paperwork. Busy work really. They won't let me bring mice home.

[dweller]

17. just enough here

to count, but not enough to bring town to a standstill....yet.

supposedly more overnite, we'll see in the morning....rainbowgrrl24, i thot you didn't want snow?

i say let it rip one last time for the season.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

19. I didn't want it for today... Tomorrow, however would be nice...

It's all about the getting to roll out of bed, looking out of the window, seeing a blanket of snow covering everything in sight and going right back to bed secure in the knowledge that even if you were to try to get to work, no one else would be there anyway...

[ncrainbowgrrl]

27. This is quite nice.

I'm still in my pajamas- my office is closed today. My cat is lying next to me on the couch, and I'm sipping hot chocolate while surfing DU and watching C-SPAN. *Purr*

[freeforall]

18. LOL! Just a little gift...

from Canada. We just like to be neighbourly and share with y'all.

(At least, when I lived in NYC for awhile, they always blamed the cold on Canada.)

[BlackVelvetElvis]

20. Ha. You must think 6" of snow is wimpy

As soon as it's announced that snow is coming: classes are canceled, there's mass run to the store for bread, milk, and beer, people don't show for work. Hell, it takes over the news for hours. It's an EVENT.

[freeforall]

22. Hell no!

We're envious! We'd be getting a lot of time off here if we cancelled for less than 2 feet.

Although here in Alberta, we haven't been getting large snowfalls for many years. 6 inches during one snowfall is about average. The trouble is, the damn stuff accumulates, so it may not all fall at once, but it piles up.

No Atlantic Canada...3 feet in one snowfall is not unusual.

Anyway, enjoy the day off!

[pagerbear]

26. 6" is enough for any man!

[dolo amber]

21. It's...

decidedly not warm outside. x(

Just went out to smoke, it's like raining snow! (Not men, unfortunately. ;)) There's been predictions of "Thunder snow-storms", which is clearly the coolest thing ever. :D

[Endangered Specie]

23. Not a great deal here in Raleigh... no classes cancelled (yet)

[jmowreader]

24. Yeah, it was fun...

We didn't get any shipments in today--in fact, I talked my insulation vendor out of sending me a truckload; I don't want the guy on the road in this kind of snowstorm because I know how he drives.

I did have a lot of pressure-treated lumber on the back pad to bring in. My gas-powered forklift has indoor tires on it, so it's lots of fun in a snowstorm. Got quite a bit in, but still have more to do. When we went into no-spotter hour at 10 pm, it was raining so no electric forklifts on the pad--hence no 16-foot lumber came in because the only machine we have that has crab steering is electric.

Unfortunately, I only had about eight customers today. This is going to screw my sales plan all to hell.

29. Looks like Caharlotte got hammered

My son's at UNCC so I check out the web cams there once in a while http://facilities.uncc.edu/webcam/

We were up there last weekend and it was beautiful; for once we timed a trip right.

30. SIX FRIGGIN' INCHES?????????

We had more than THREE FEET in 24 hours last week! Pfui!
