I'm so glad I have a job and boss that allows me to work from home when I want. We officially closed our office on s. Saunders around noon, if I was there I would be stuck in the middle of downtown right now.

Weather people, what are the models looking like now as far as ice is concerned? Did the storm track east enough for this to mostly be a snow only event?

Or 2005 when Raleigh was gridlocked in 1/8" of snow

This is gonna be terrible for a lot of people.

Just said on the news that Glenwood Ave moved 100ft in the last 1hr 15min

When that freezing rain starts there are gonna be tons of people stranded

2/12/2014 2:39:10 PM

Took me over 2 hours to get home and I left when snow started. Fiancé left 10 minutes after and has had to abandon her car on 440 and now I get to walk five miles to meet her and being her shoes because she wore heels. Fuck my life seriously. Be back in like 6 hours.

How much snow y'all got?

2/12/2014 2:49:54 PM

polar votexing like a mother in Lee County

2/12/2014 2:50:24 PM

My yard is all drifts anywhere from 2" to 8"

[Edited on February 12, 2014 at 2:51 PM. Reason : downtown Raleigh ]

2/12/2014 2:50:42 PM

Wind really blowing now.

2/12/2014 2:53:35 PM

2/12/2014 2:54:17 PM

They keep re-iterating it will happen. I think the promoter is just going to make the workers that are stuck there perform the play so they don't have to give out refunds.

2/12/2014 2:58:42 PM

are you guys watching wral?

holy shit

2/12/2014 3:00:57 PM

Yeah, traffic is all ATL right now

2/12/2014 3:02:25 PM

Except for not having kids trapped at school and in busses, this traffic seems worse than 2005

2/12/2014 3:03:07 PM

Stay off the road folks. Unless you are driving the WRAL traffic car that seeks out traffic jams.

2/12/2014 3:03:28 PM

Pretty sure gonna make national headlines with ATL going...

2/12/2014 3:06:01 PM

WRAL

2/12/2014 3:06:11 PM

I'm watching WRAL now from my car. I think I might be screwed.

2/12/2014 3:07:44 PM

Unc duke game is still on. They've opened it up to any students that can make it

2/12/2014 3:08:22 PM

Somebody tell me what's happening on wral, I'm still at work

Don't drive, you idiots. People who did drive are abandoning their cars. So don't drive. If you need something, don't drive to go get it. Don't call the police if you get in a fucking fender bender. Do you not think they have more important shit to do? Just stay where you are and masturbate.

Just got back from pushing cars up the hill OFF KAPLAN

probably a good 4+ inches here and its really coming down.

Such snow.

Much accumulation.

WOW.

2/12/2014 3:12:42 PM

Think it's bad now? Wait til it gets dark and the sleet begins

2/12/2014 3:13:08 PM

Going to duke UNC from Raleigh... Should I leave now or closer to game time? Will traffic improve? Is it at least moving?

2/12/2014 3:14:04 PM

haha gg NCSU students pushing cars on western

'we ain't got nothing else to do"

2/12/2014 3:17:18 PM

Pack your camping supplies, because you will probably get stuck on the side of the road if you are going to try to drive anywhere.

2/12/2014 3:17:24 PM

You shouldn't drive

2/12/2014 3:17:36 PM

U r a true fan!

2/12/2014 3:17:37 PM

It's just snow currently... Right?

2/12/2014 3:19:34 PM

i just drove up to the gas station and back and the roads aren't THAT bad to drive on... it's just the people who all decided to leave work at once that have made this mess so bad.

2/12/2014 3:22:10 PM

WRAL, holy crap.

We are going to make the National news.

2/12/2014 3:23:35 PM

y'all been puttin yer stupid hats on or what?

2/12/2014 3:25:50 PM

You already have. They're comparing you guys to Atlanta.

2/12/2014 3:26:18 PM

The only problem I had getting home was tractor trailer almost driving me off the road in such a fucking hurry.

2/12/2014 3:28:12 PM

The changeover to sleet has started in Garner

2/12/2014 3:32:29 PM

So glad I went to WRAL. My original plan was to take the main way and just be patient. Once I checked the news, I maneuvered my way out of that nonsense and took some back roads home. A couple trees were already down. It's about to get ridiculous.

2/12/2014 3:37:07 PM

2/12/2014 3:39:10 PM

Just curious is traffic moving at all on the major highways or is it at a standstill?

2/12/2014 3:43:40 PM

UPDATE 3:36 p.m.: The Streets at Southpoint mall in Durham is opening its doors to take in people stuck on Interstate 40. People can get off the roads and stay inside the mall for as long as needed, the general manager said.

2/12/2014 3:48:10 PM

I left right as it started snowing in RTP (right about 12:30 or so)

and it was already very slow going by the time I was on Glenwood

so I can't imagine what it's like now: it must be horrible out there

2/12/2014 3:49:15 PM

did the snow break tww?

2/12/2014 3:54:06 PM

4-5" of snow accumulation in Holly Springs. Roads are a mess. People walking, abandoning cars. Apex is even more a clusterfuck than normal.

Looks like it's starting to turn to mostly sleet.

2/12/2014 3:56:08 PM

Wake County has contracted with a crew to clear the abandoned cars once the roads thaw a little

2/12/2014 3:57:12 PM

It straight up dumped on rtp. Wtf
