Doing assorted things around the office today, have the radio on listening to nothing in particular. About 11:30 they said it was starting to snow around Charlotte, looked out the windows, big fat flakes just starting to lay. By 11:40 the accident reports started, I-77, I-85, I-485, I-40, Tryon Street, Tyvola, and Highway 29. By noon there were over 30 accidents, in less than 1/4" of snow, ugh! I am proud to be from the South, I like being Southern, but we do on occasion live up to stereotypes....we do say Y'all(but we know how to use it)....and we can't drive in snow. 
Y'all can't drive in the snow!

Its not just snow, last month they closed the Billy Graham Parkway for a while because of wet leaves! 
Good thing it never snowed in Hazard County or Bo 'n Luke would still be locked up.

I'm originally from GA, but once I joined the military, I spend many years in snow between Eastern Washington, Central Montana, Korea, and Germany.
For the most part, no one can drive in snow. Too many everywhere just think they can. I always loved the ones in a 4x4 that though that was all they needed.
I spend 12 years in the Rockies and drove a Mustang the entire time, got stuck twice, one accident. 
Now I'm back in GA and I still see cars in ditches each time the roads get slick.

This morning the traffic issues are being caused by the arrival of the former President and First Lady. They won't be here until this afternoon but things began to jam up at about 4am near the Billy Graham library. We've been told to expect closures when the secret service begins to erect the security perimeter.
