The storm has shifted east and south, with Charlotte now looking at 8 to 10 inches of snow, mixed with sleet and ice. I’ll take a foot of snow over an inch of ice any day. Even a half inch of ice means widespread power outages and heavy tree damage, not to mention the driving conditions. I’m two hours north and looking at over a foot myself now.
I’m in total agreement to taking a foot of snow over an inch or even a 1/4 inch of ice.
The one “nice” thing about Thursday’s little snow/ice debacle:
The President was forced to drive back to the White House from Andrews AFB during the mini-storm and he with his caravan was caught in the back up coming from Andrews back into the District and it, according to the local news, took him an hour and a half for the trip. The snow grounding Marine 1 from flying him back to the White House from Andrews.
