Yeah, it's not economically viable for the states to have plows, salt, etc. for something that happens only a couple of days every three or four years. Here in the Carolinas, the state will attach plow-like blades to the front of DMV trucks. There's a limited number of blades compared to states with regular snowfall. Instead of salt to melt the snow, sand is scattered to (theoretically) improve traction.
It doesn't take more than a half inch for non-essential businesses and schools to close. For the majority of people, there's nowhere to go anyway. That doesn't stop them. My personal rule has always been I wouldn't venture out of the neighborhood until I could get the tires on at least one side of the car on clear pavement. I'm also not going over 30 until I can get all four on clear asphalt. If that means I have to pull over and let Bubba go by, fine. More than once I've driven by him in the ditch later.
Just stay the f home.

Moved to Raleigh NC area Jan 1996. Stayed with a buddy in Chapel Hill. We were walking around the town with 70* sunny weather. Got up next morning to 8ish inches of snow. His place was in basement of a log cabin type structure. Door opened out. Nope. Couldn't opened door for 3 days. If had been a fire...crispy critters. One door, no windows. Definitely not a legal living space.
Then it got COLD! Low 20's. Then it warmed up to 30 and snowed, got COLD, warmed up and snowed, warmed little more and rained, got cold...a pattern developed. Realized, had to open door every hour or so, go out shovel, so could get out. Eventually had nearly foot of extremely hard packed snow due to freeze/thaw/rain/snow. It took 3ish weeks to clear the snow cause never got up to usual 50's.
Welcome to NC, hillbilly.

No shovel, no problem! Just use the lids of these. Heck, we use them even here in Kansas where your average person has a shovel.

That must have been made back when the SEC was good.

Living in South Mississippi I never in my life thought I would be too far north to get snow but here we are. Had off and on flurries this morning/early afternoon but nothing stuck. Rode down the highway about ten minutes and there was a little bit in the south end of the county.

The "feels like" temperature is in the single digits.
I've never seen anything like this in the time I've lived here.
