One of my friends offered this suggestion: "THey made people leave
work/school just as the roads got bad." So they're stuck.
My route home pulled together all the Triangle back-road fu I had:
>From South Square area Durham, 751 to 64
64 to Lake Pine in Cary
Lake Pine to Cary Parkway
Cary Parkway to 54
54 to E Chatham St
E Chatham St to Western
Western to Person St
- and traffic didn't stop until just outside WRAL studios on Western. That
stretch was pretty bad, admittedly. However, on 751 there was no ice - no
water - no nothing on the roads, and the guy in front of me was driving
slow because it was cold, I guess. (Slow meaning 40MPH in spots.)
Understandably, you don't know what's ahead, but it was pretty obvious
after 7 miles of clear road that part of Chatham/Durham Cty didn't get
*anything* treacherous.
Then about 5 blocks from home the streets were cordoned off (near Krispy
Kreme on Person); I can only assume it had something to do with a gas leak
because it smelled like rotten eggs.
Total time to get home: 1.5 hrs. That's not even bad in heavy traffic on
40.
Cheers
KJ
