This even more just in - the weather thread

Roads are basically completely covered, winds have picked up a bit and now a rather large snowdrift has piled up outside my door, so that'll be a pain in the ass if I walk outside at any point today.
The one praise I have for Governor McCrory is that he takes disaster response very seriously. He asks for federal aid and offers state aid for communities that need it (he gave state aid to the town of Kitty Hawk to repair unmitigated damages from Hurricane Sandy, which happened before he even took office), focuses on the safety of citizens and workers (checking in on the DOT and utility companies to make sure crews are being rotated properly) and isn't afraid to speak frankly.
He called people who go out driving in this weather without an actual need to "selfish," while that sounds harsh I'd have to agree. They're endangering themselves, the crews, and the people who for whatever reason do have to be out on the roads.

Welp, I'm snowed in.

I have almost no food in my apartment, due to work and school I haven't had even one chance to go shopping since the storm was forecast. There are restaurants within what one would normally consider walking distance, but whether they're open or not will be crapshoot.
Looks like it may be a diet of ramen, pop-tarts, and potato soup for the next day or so.
