Here in Bladen County, NC we are seeing the first significant snow in 3 or 4 years.

It didn't start snowing until sometime after 1am. As of 10:00pm, there were over 200 schools and business closed in the Raleigh area before the first snowflake fell.

We've got about 4-5" on the ground now, still coming down and it's about 27 degrees. Most everything is shut down now.

Looks like it could snow all day and be gone in 2-3 days... Supposed to be in the 40's and high 50's by the weekend. 39 tomorrow, 49 Thur, 56 on Friday...

My brother works for the city of Raleigh and lives in Morrisville. He called a while ago to say that the roads were pretty rough.

Write back when you get close to 50 inches to date for season. Stay off the roads in your area.

You will not sweep 3" of our wet snow with a broom.

4-5 inches of snow and 27 degrees, and you have that many schools and businesses closed. Another 4 inches and you guys will have to be declared a federal disaster area!

Been anywhere from -20 to 5 at night, teens during the day here with 20+mph winds blowing and drifting 8-10 inches of snow. Roads have been nothing but a sheet of ice for almost 7 days now. Salt doesn't work in these temps. I think kiddies had 2 days off last week, never heard of any businesses closed. All of this is nothing compared to what some others further north are dealing with.

Bob, this is the first snow in about 3 years. Very little equipment to handle it. And most have very little experience driving in it. No reason for the homeowner to own a snowblower, or for that matter, even a snow shovel, just one more thing to have to store. Very few basements down here either, so you end up putting the stuff that belongs in the basement into your garage, to further the clutter...

We were in T shirts a few weeks ago including Christmas. It's headline news if the overnight temp gets below 15 degrees. We actually had 8 last week. It's all relative, I've lived in IA where there was a 24" snowstorm and 12" of snow on the ground for 2 months, and never gets above 0 for a week. I think things functioned more "normal" in IA with all the snow, not that you ever "get used to" subzero temps, but it doesn't come as a shock to you either. You expect snow and cold temps.

We average 115 inches a year up here in the Syracuse area, I think we have over 80 inches so far this year, nothing to worry about.

Central Ohio here..

One thing about it, you have good "B" that will "git er Done"...!!

Wonder how big a blade that would handle..!!

5" on the ground here for the last week and still as fluffy as when it fell..9* last night, 8 tonight, got all the way up to 19 today...

The 630, weighted for the 4-16" plow is pretty good with the 7' rear blade..!!

I KNOW about those in-experienced drivers...they are the worst part of snow..!!

Bob, close, not a Federal Emergency, but the news reported that...

"Gov. Bev Perdue declared a state of emergency, activating the state's Emergency Operations Center."

It hasn't snowed since about 3pm today. No wind, no drifts, etc. We ended up with about 6-7". About 200 schools/business in the area have already delayed/cancelled for tomorrow. I'm guessing that the guys up north that got 2 feet of snow can handle that a lot better than we can handle 2" of the stuff.

Disaster over...

School was closed for 2 days (Monday and Tuesday). It stopped snowing on Monday at 3pm totalling 6 inches.

All the snow is now gone.
