Oh my gosh, watching the news tonight showing the gridlock on the North Carolina roads. I can't believe they didn't get a clue from what happened to Atlanta the other week. If you don't normally get snow or ice, for heaven's sake, keep your butt at home and your car in the garage. Just because it's wet, doesn't mean it's like driving in rain

I came home at noon and have been watching the horror of my fellow Carolinians going quite insane.

I got kind of mesmerized as they interviewed some of the poor souls stuck in traffic - they all seemed to be so genuinely surprised that they were sitting in the same spot for 2 hours at a time.

This is cruel, but it's part of my "move to Austin" campaign -- it was 68 today, 74 tomorrow.

I've only been to Texas once - to Houston back in the 80's, but I loved what I did get to see *G*.

Driving round to see the snow... We had with quake damage. I get the interest but honestly, be sensible! It's like people who go to the beach to watch a tsunami.

You are so right - and with unusual horrific events like earthquakes and tsunamis, I can kind of get the whole "have to go look" mentality - I suppose its like people rubber necking at traffic accidents.

But ohmygod, I live in the northeastern United States. Winters are long and cold and usually somewhat snowy. We normally get snow at least once a year and I don't get the fascination with something that is so commonplace, especially this year, where we've had a storm just about every week since Thanksgiving.
