in my part of NC we got a solid day and a half of nothing but face pelting sleet. which caused me to respond repeatedly "WHERE YOU AT, SNOW?!?!".
I watched the radar and kept thinking man it sucks to be those folks. That pink on the radar in a snow storm is never a good thing.
Later I saw reports of a lot of folks in NC being in the dark
When I lived in Greensboro there was an ice storm that coated the place with 4" of it. Living in a high point in a top floor apartment I watched a lightshow as one transformer after another was terminated.
So I started a batch of home made chicken noodle soup before retiring for the evening hoping the chicken cooked before the power went out.
Next morning I awoke to a warm apartment. Whut-thuh? Flipped on a light switch...light? Really?
Well my chicken soup had cooked all night so the noodles had pretty much melted into a mush, risen to the top and begun to crispy-fy.
From the Va border north to well south of high point south, to east of raleigh and west to statesville was completely dark. But an approx 2 mile radius around me never lost power.
Hope you guys have power back.
