Thankfully I didn't live over there then. I did get to experience snowmageddon 2005 which took me 6 hours to get home from Alexander Drive to Lynn Road (about 10 miles)
Coincidentally, I was working on Alexander in 2014, probably a mile away from this picture. Made it to mostly home, but abandoned my car in a parking lot for 2 days less than a mile away.
Man I still lived out on the east side of Chapel Hill, and it almost felt like that while I was going like 35 around cars going 10-15 on I40 while the roads were clearly going to lose all traction in about 30 minutes. NC folks aren't used to seeing the roads freeze in real time at 1pm
I was stuck in that mess. Was in Raleigh to give a presentation to a client. First time this island boy ever saw snow...and it was falling sideways! Cars and trucks were sliding off the highway. The 20 minute ride to the hotel took 2 hrs. CRAZY.
