Public Embarrassment for My Great State

N. Carolina Capital Disabled by Inch of Snow :

"An inch of snow crippled North Carolina's capital -- and prompted plenty of finger-pointing -- Thursday "

"It was not until late Wednesday that Gov. Mike Easley (D) declared a state of emergency, allowing him to open two state government buildings in downtown Raleigh as shelters to accommodate drivers. He asked residents to stay home Thursday morning so crews could clear the roads."

This was marked by much laughter in Western North Carolina and I am sure by all people used to snow in the wintertime.
