It's cold enough to freeze water solid!
Yep, this here storm's a real sonofabitch. Came up on us like celery stalks at midnight. Fortunately, I had time to go to Caspian Interational Food Mart on Brentwood Road, and I got some good, God-fearin' processed meats to see us through this ordeal.
They had plenty of news people standing out in the rain and snow on television, 'cause that makes it more serious-like. As you can see from the pictures above and below, there's enough snow to justify the 383 closings and delays reported on WRAL.com.
They're worried about black ice. Black ice?! Who ever hearda such poppycock. Nice, shiny, regular ice is the ice for me. If I'm gonna go tumblin' into the ditch, ain't no make-believe black ice gonna do it, it's good old regular ice.

Mercy!
Human strength in the face of Nature's raw fury never ceases to amaze me. Are you guys ok? The sky looks slightly off-blue in that bottom picture- has the National Guard been called in yet?
At least you didn't have to deal with abondoned cars as you made your way to the market. It's 13 degrees right now, last night was about 4 or 5 degrees. We had 9 or 10 dear munching sunflower seeds out back at sunset, the cold weather causes them to bunch up in herds. Too bad I couldn't legally get one because the ternderloins and other parts would have been tasty!
*ROTFL*
Will you need a care-package from Germany?
