Road Conditions on Saturday

If you don’t have to go out, don’t.   If you do have to go out, here is an idea of what to expect.

Late this afternoon, we did a tour of town in a 4-wheel drive vehicle and found that most of the side streets look like Rogerson Road (above) and Burning Tree (below).

Burning Tree Road, Chapel Hill

We made it down Burning Tree, intending to turn onto 15-501 which we knew was clear.  But – there was a wall of snow so high we couldn’t even see 15-501!

What happened to 15-501?

Maybe a Hummer could have made it but, we had no choice but to stop, turn around and go a different way – or go home.

If you don’t have to go out, don’t.
