This was Raleigh on Wednesday. 2.5 inches of snow took our whole city down! After our last dusting of snow a few weeks ago, I thought I was tough and could handle anything. I wasn't phased by the weather reports, a "wintry mix" that would start at around 4pm (or so I thought). Yeah, well I was wrong. The snow and ice came at 1pm and chaos ensued. It took people like 4 hours to drive what would normally take 30 minutes! I was at the hospital, worried about having to return the next morning, so I gave up and had a sleepover with a friend who lives nearby. The next day I twiddled my thumbs in the empty emergency department.
Although I live 15 minutes over in Cary now (temporarily lol), I was born and raised in Raleigh and I have a lot of memories of snow and Raleigh. When I was in elementary school, we got 20 inches and I didn't have school for 2 weeks. When I was in high school, we had snow in the middle of day, similar to Wednesday and another cluster ensured...it took my aunt and I 7 hours to get home. All of these memories have instilled a fear of snow and ice in me, that I must get home, that I must buy bread and milk and gas and I was just finally shaking it off...but no. It's back. I'm not fooling around with this white stuff anymore!
