Were this a different time I would suggest burning weathermen on pyres until the cold dissipated. For the last month I've seen extended forecasts claim 20s or 30s by the end of the week and as those days turn from the future to the present the estimates are revised lower and lower day by day. Oh, by Monday it'll be in the 30s! I know we said that last week, the week before, and the week before that, but it's true this time for really reals!
You've got three choices. More conservative estimates, more accurate estimates, or fire.

They've been steadily upping the prediction here all day (NW Virginia) The Washington DC weather guys are orgasming on live TV because of this.

Some people are not suited to northern living due to the fact that they are huge pussies. We don't need them and we are happy to let California have them.

LOL.Raleigh is apparently no better than Atlanta
It's really not. Even the local newscasters started trying to shame people for being idiots.
This is the city that completely shit itself a few years ago over half an inch of ice. Same thing this time. Everyone waited until they saw snowflakes falling... and then everyone left work at the same time. Everybody.
You would think that since this state is 75% New Jersey transplants anyway they'd at least know how to drive.

If it was the apocalypse there'd be perfect spacing between the abandoned cars so you could drive across entire interstates and cities.

I agree although you have to admit, it started coming down hard like I've never seen here and I've been here around 10 years. My street was completely covered in 20-30 minutes.

it wasnt much at all. It did rain but it was mostly just drizzle. Im in Merced about 45 min north of Fresno. It was mostly just really cloudy.

I used to live in Coarsegold and work in Oakhurst. Loved that area. We used to come up from southern California to Bass lake every year almost since my mom was a kid .

Easily got almost a foot in my area, although the period of sleet and rain definitely packed it down. Still looking at more mix and pure snow on the backend but could have been 5x worse if it was all snow and a continuous mass throughout today.

Part of the problem with this one was that it came on so fast and stuck immediately. I went to pick up my kid from school and it started when I was halfway home. By the time I got home (15 minutes later) the roads were complete shit and I was skidding out going into my driveway. One of the biggest problems after it had gone on for a while was that people abandoned their cars making it multitudes harder for them to do any cleanup.
That said, NC is an at will work work state, so if your boss says you need to go in you HAVE to go in. If you want to blame anyone, blame the idiots that made the workers come in on a day they knew was going to turn to shit. It's not like any work gets done on days like this in an office anyway.
