rsuzara,

I saw a few CL-S's tonight in cary. Maybe one of them was u. Were u on maynard or kildarefarm or US1.

Anyways. It's a mess. Everyone is driving sooooooooo slooooooooooow. Even ppl with subaru outbacks are driving 15mph on US1. Just don't get it sometimes. Almost all the SUVs I saw were driving slower than the cars. I guess maybe they didn't buy the 4x4 option.

My grand voyager drove great. Kept my cool. Gave myself ample space for braking. Picked-up my daughter and made it home safe. Glad to out of the bad driving mess. I'm more scared of the drivers than the ice on the roads.

YEEESSSS!!! RALEIGH NC , I was on Maynard tonite and on Cary parkway around 9:00pm tonite.

I am pretty sure work is cancelled tomorow so lets just say I am celebrating just a little too much right now.

There was TOO many cars going less than 20mph on the roads around 9pm which seem a little too cautious as the roads were not tooo bad(less than an inch of snow) at that point, I didnt even have the little traction control indicator light up once while I was driving until I was in my apartment complex parking lot as I had a little fun time doing some doughnouts and other stupid stuff just b/c the lot was empty where I live at!!!!

But dont worry I was careful though on the roads, a lot of cars were just going too slow on the roads even as the first few flurries started.

I can barely see my car right now b/c of all the snow


I was more scared of other drivers than the actual snow on the roads, one car was goin way too slow to make it up this one hill and it ended up goin backwards which caused a major backup on cary parkway near the preston area where I live, but luckily I was in the other lane and just slowly cruised by them with no problem, it is a mess out there!!!!!

Oh well, at least I can sleep in tomorrow!!!!

Well we did not get near as much here in Atlanta as you are expecting. Hence I am about to head out and brave the highways to get to my office.
