I'm Sorry. I'm Very, Very Sorry

To all my brothers and sisters in the North Central and North Eastern parts of this great nation we call the United States - I'd like to apologise for our Governor and our pathetic road sense.

You may have seen that, with the rest of the country being hammered by record cold and snows, the Raleigh Durham area of North Carolina got a "snow storm" yesterday that caused record traffic jams - some delays were as long as 8 hours, about 1,000 accidents and was blamed for approx. 3,000 students being stranded at their schools overnight.

Gov. Easley declared a State of Emergency for the area and opened some government buildings to be used as shelters. All people who could stay home from work today were being urged to do so until the clean-up is complete.

The size of the "snow storm" that caused all this havoc?

One (1) inch. That's it. So sad.

And yes, I'm a transplanted Northerner.
