Hitting these shaded areas that stay well below freezing has to be tough. You'd have to do the salt/sand thing prior to any sun angle changes - then send in the plows(*)
And none of us really want that de-icing mix to drain out to the waterways out here either
...
* I'm starting to think that my subconscious just orchestrated this whole post so that it could torture me with an earworm the rest of the day 😂
🎶 But where are the plows?
🎶 Quick, send in the plows
My particular secondary road in #orangecountync #ncdot really doesn't seem to have the resources or the organizational capacity at this time to have gotten out in front of this one
The trope that people like to express is that #ncdot never gets out in front - which is definitely not true - it just seems maddeningly inconsistent
Between the coming snow and long-range 8-14 day outlook from the NWS - the rural areas of the county are going to be treacherous for probably another week+half #ncwx
Following up on that #orangecountync email notice - the county sent out another email notice of a second closed meeting on February 3, prior to the regular board business meeting.
This email has more specific references to the NC General Statutes of why a meeting can be closed.
It does seem like that there still will be some Orange County NC related news coming related to at least two closed meetings... after February 3rd.
Interesting: #orangecountync sent out this email notice to the Board of Commissioners notification list this afternoon around 2pm (The list gets county board meeting announcements, public notices regarding the board, that sort of thing)
The Board is in an emergency closed session tonight, which is a bit unusual in my memory.
Guessing there will be some County-related news coming soon 🤷

This in-depth story by Barry Yeoman about how neuvaux right-wing politics easily overwhelms self-described "moderates" who have long been tools for the forces trying to block progressive change in Orange County is an important read.
