Beth, I was up in your territory for Christmas--at my nephew's in Roanoke Rapids--even if you weren't. We'd planned to come home on Sunday, but when the news crawl came over the football game saying 4-6 inches of snow expected that night, we tossed everything in the car and hit the road then and there. I learned to drive in upstate NY, but 27 years in the DC and Atlanta areas have completely killed my snow driving skills. In any event, it worked out fine--no traffic that night on I-95, a most unusual sitation.
