Dusting of snow in Charlotte...

[01rangerxl]

We got a dusting of snow in Charlotte. Snow is rare here. This dusting is the most I have seen in the nearly three years I have been here.

The trusty Ranger did just fine despite 2WD and no weight in the back. Some people were actually abandoning their cars on the road though. One girl in a Protege just left the car in the middle of an intersection and walked off!

The DOT has killed the fun already. They dumped an insane amount of salt/sand on the roads and my truck is now covered top to bottom in the nasty stuff.

That's not even a 'noteworthy' amount in Ottawa...

People were abandoning there cars on the road, that is not enough snow for me to get out the snowblower.

Here in the fine state of Georgia, that would be considered much more than a dusting. We had snow showers as well last night. I counted all 25 flakes that fell in my neighborhood.

That much snow in Texas = 200 - 300 wrecks, closed schools and gov't offices, and widespread power outages.

That much snow in my homestate of WY = wouldn't even be recognized as having snowed at all.

There were a good number of wrecks this morning. Some people just were not willing to slow down.

The roads are mostly clear now except for the salt/sand mess. I hope that stuff blows off the roads soon so I can wash my truck. It's filthy right now.

We had quite a bit more over here on the east side of the county. Pretty much like what 97tbird had.

I'll trade you that snow for what we got in Michigan.
