My normal 25-minute trip to work took 50 minutes, thanks in large part to very icy roads ill plowed and prepped and unusual amounts of traffic on the roads. There are idiot drivers on the best of days, and, sadly, they're out there in the worst of days, too. Had someone pull out right in front of me when there was no car anywhere behind me...all they had to do was wait a grand total of 12 seconds and they would have had all the space in the world. No, they just had to pull out right then and there, and while I didn't hit them or slide into a ditch, suffice it to say I got to see that thoroughfare from some unusual angles for a limited time. Thank you, behemoth black Envoy for your foresight...
Crazy-busy day at the station, as you can imagine...made more complicated by the snow reaching the coast and the Raleigh office once again realizing their limitations with one keywall. Below, I've posted snow totals as gathered by the National Weather Service office in Raleigh as that region brought home the bacon in totals. I understand that these amounts in and of themselves are unimpressive in many regions of the country, but here in the South they stymie most of 'life', especially in the Coastal Plain all the way over to the beaches.
Just a little AM/PM comparison shot showing the melting in much of the western Piedmont where snow amounts were limited to the 1-3" range, ending early, and lots of afternoon sun...
7:40 am
4:45 pm
At the end of my shift came a phone call from my SC agent that said the Tuesday shoot was well behind schedule and asked if I was flexible to wait one more day for my part. Alas, the world of acting can be quite unpredictable, and luckily I was free to delay traveling a day. Fine with me, as I was tired from yesterday, and welcomed plopping down for the evening instead of driving to Greenville. Always nice not to have to rush to get your ducks in a row, eh?!
I just cut and paste the whole list of snow totals...from the GSP office I'd add to that the 8" reports from Avery County (ski country) and 3" from SE Charlotte, and from the Blacksburg office add in the earlier reports of up to 6" in Ashe County. Not everyone got snow, mind you...the N and NW Triad portions picked up only 1/2" if that, but for all practical purposes this was a coast to coast storm, now long gone off the coast.
