    My friend in NC was off work today because of 5" of the fluffiest snow I’ve ever seen

      It was nice to uncovered a car by just brushing it off. It’s funny but this has been the first time that I recall being in NC during snow and it not being a big issue. It’s specifically because 1) they prepared for it and brined the hell out of the main roads here, and 2) it’s not doing what it usually does and melt a bit to refreeze into solid ice the next day (although to be fair tomorrow will be the test). But the high in the Triangle was 28, so short of any spots that got compressed a lot into ice, it seems to be a non-event unlike our meme of snowmageddon from a number of years ago.
