Much like we saw in Atlanta recently, large metropolitan areas in North Carolina are currently being ravaged by a significant winter storm. Not only that, but many other locations in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina are also being impacted. Many folks are stranded, leaving their vehicles in search of shelter. Many have also been involved in car accidents. Here’s a look at what’s unfolding to our southeast:

Dickie V was supposed to call the Duke/UNC college basketball game tonight, but he’s stranded at the airport in North Carolina instead. Luckily, the game has been postponed…due to weather. Duh:

This storm will continue to bring havoc along the east coast through the weekend. With any luck, they’ll make it out alright. Here’s to it not getting any worse…cheers.
