What was really just a minor dusting of snow - approx 1 inch - created such a mess in and around Raleigh, that the governor declared a state of emergency.

Erin and myself got stuck in traffic on Glenwood for about two hours before we eventually gave up on where we were going and turned around. We ate at the Red Robin for the first time.

One of the nice things about living in Raleigh that I've come to realise - and count on - is the fact that snow around here turns to ice very quickly. When it does, all bets are off and the city shuts down. Snow days are great any way they come. I'll take em.

So we got a bit of a snow day today. Things are clearing up - basically back to normal. I guess the forecast is calling for more snow tomorrow.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
