North Carolina and snow ...
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...winter_weather
In Raleigh, a mere inch of snow was all it took to cripple North Carolina's capital and prompt plenty of finger-pointing as the city thawed from the surprise storm that caused gridlock and stranded the schoolchildren.
While a TV weatherman hung his head in shame — telling viewers his forecast of a mere dusting was "embarrassing" — the mayor vented at meteorologists for leaving Raleigh unprepared for Wednesday's storm.
"A forecast that had given a better indication of the likely problem would have been very helpful," Mayor Charles Meeker said.
this is just pathetic.

Yeah, you should see how these tools act when they hear it might snow. People act like there's gonna be a nuclear holocaust or something. :chuckles:
and yeah, these morons suck at driving in inclement weather... honestly, I can't really drive in the snow either, 'cause I haven't really had much practice, but at least I don't drive like the road isn't covered with slippery stuff.
That inexperience, plus a lack of equipment (snow plows, salt trucks) to handle such situations, is what makes it so dangerous for even an inch to fall around here.
