Hahaha.. I remember that kind of "panic" when snow started falling... I'm glad I got out of NC when I did! They have had an awful lot of snow/ice over the past few years!

OMG are you serious. That reminds me of flordia, One little pieace of cold front that hits that state everyone their gets so scared they close everything down thinking the world will end. I was surprised when Texas got their first snow in years they didnt have a state emergency shut down or something. Starting to become sad how people react with this weather these days.
No offence to people that live in those states but its true.

My college was open to, but I only had an hour of class today, and that was cut short cause I finished my test in 30 minutes and left early

Torqued: they don't close everything down here, but the minute it snows you can forget about buying bread/milk. People freak out and clean the stores out lol.

Its funny to watch, espesscially when my mom tells me about when she was a little girl and lived up north. Buses ran if there was 5 feet of snow of the ground heh.

3 miles both ways in 5 feet of snow just to catch the bus . The walk gets longer everytime its told, and so dose the amount of snow.

Its kind like the fishing stories about the one that got away. By the time you get home its grown 20 feet

If it gets below 90 degrees in Texas, schools are closed b/c a cold front has come in

(Only a joke) lol

I know! I grew up near Charlotte and went to college @ Chapel Hill... then lived in Raleigh for a while. It's nuts. People lose their mind when snow starts falling in NC.
