Sounds rough, I have snow banks along my driveway that are almost 6 feet high.
 I have carved out a "slot" in a snow bank for my W201 to park in...the snow around it is almost the height of the car.  In untouched areas of my yard there's about 20-22" or so...and it has compressed into a VERY dense snowpack from the weight of each snowfall.

oh, it's nothing like THAT!!!
just about 6 inches or so... but it's a thick blanket that's covering the vehicle, blending it into the surroundings...

We've been in NC for going on 11 years and this is the WORST we've had in that time. We didn't move here for this crap!! I'm going to call the Chamber of Commerce and demand a refund.
Here on the coast we've had about 3/4" of ice which has mostly melted this afternoon but it's still raining and is generally yucky (that's a technical term). By Friday we should be back in the mid to upper 50s - I can't wait. At least the bugs should be somewhat mitigated next Spring. Dan Last edited by Dan Stokes; 02-12-2014 at 06:26 PM.

about 8 years ago, nc got about 30" snow in one day... 18 year ago, there were 4 days of solid 10F days, with continuous snow, charlotte was shut down for about 2 weeks... packed snow on all the roads, miserable city handling of the issue... about 14 years ago, we got an ice storm that shut down the entire county for weeks with no power... plenty of nasty winter storms have hit us... all the mosquito's the last few years with the extremely mild winters this summer will be a blessing!

People here took 8 hours to get home after leaving around 1PM. I just said "screw it" and I'm still at work, warm and dry!
I drove through Wilmington on Monday, stopped and snapped a picture of the Battleship. Weather was great!

Been raining here all day. Temps are not supposed to get below freezing until around 3 am. Things are probably going to go downhill pretty fast when we get there. Shouldn't last long though
