It was beautiful: three inches of fluffy snow on rooftops and in all the bare trees -- perfect winter wonderland scenes here
Surprisingly, the city was ready for it. Even my little residential street had been salted before I got up Sunday
I check my driveway, see my street and the main street nearby all good for driving, check my church webpage and find nothing out of the ordinary there, so I head off for church. It;'s a 20-25 minute drive in heavy traffic, maybe a 15 minute drive in normal traffic: the delays are always backups at the traffic lights. Clear roads with nobody but nobody on them: it takes me ten minutes. I get to church a few minutes before services are supposed to start: there's not a soul there. No pastor, no musician, no choir, no nobody. Mine are the only car tracks in the parking lot. I wait a few minutes and drive back home. I check my email: Travel conditions are very unsafe. No worship this morning
Three inches of fluffy snow. Completely clear roads. And Durham shuts down
:rofl:
I suppose I should be glad the folk down here finally learned not to go out on icy roads
:rofl:
I still remember the daily commute when I lived up your way: Logan to Main then zigzag to 6th across the 8th St bridge and zigzag over towards the campus, on roads that weren't always scraped or sanded or salted
