Remember the players coaches cheerleaders band members have to ride school buses (at least Reidsville is) to the games...too much of a liability with 6 inches of snow on the ground in Reidsville
Playing in snow...

Anybody know if that new road that opened near Hicone Road in Greensboro is going to now be the best way to navigate to 40/85 toward RDU?
Yeah ... I saw that in news ... but is it the best route now to Raleigh-Durham?
Almost anything would be better than zig-zag route through Elon / Gibsonville / Whitsett ...
It just goes over to McLeansville and joins up with I40/85.
Quicker from Reidsville to take NC87 to Burlington.
87 through Burlington and Graham? I usually go backroads and join 85/40 at Whitsett.
Watkins Grill is a great place to eat. Kind of hard to find, if not careful you'll go right by it. It's kind of next to an underpass. Not much parking, the police, and fireman all eat there so you know its good. Not fancy but plenty of good old home cooking, reasonably priced.(much better and authentic than a Cracker Barrel)I haven't been there in awhile, will have to go by myself next time i'm in Raleigh town.
Been going to games in Chapel Hill from Reidsville and now my home on Somers Loop for nearly 50 years.
Have tried every possible route known to mankind.
Quickest way is NC87 through Burlington and Graham to NC54.
Edited to note my wife hates that route and keeps trying to find one quicker but no luck so far!
But you are from East Reidsville so you are disqualified from knowing about the new road route. That's where I hope Ram BBQ's highway patrol connection can weigh in.Been going to games in Chapel Hill from Reidsville and now my home on Somers Loop for nearly 50 years.

Its suppose to clear out by 1 tomorrow according to weathernation in duplin county its drizzling rain watching the news its raining in chapel hill now weather suppose to stay above freezing
This from Greensboro News & Record:
More than 20 wrecks associated with the weather were reported Friday afternoon, said Susan Danielsen with Greensboro police. Calls kept coming in throughout the evening, including an overturned school bus in High Point. No school children were on board, WGHP-Channel 8 reported. Police said the wrecks have been minor so far, but they are urging people to stay off the roads until the weather improves.
Maybe the forecasters will get it wrong for today (like they did Friday) ... but here's what they're saying - again from the News & Record:
Greensboro and Guilford County could see another one to two inches of snow accumulation today, according to the National Weather Service.
The forecast calls for a 90 percent chance of precipitation mainly before 1 p.m. High will be near 35.
Rockingham County is forecasted to get the same amount of snow today with most of it coming before 5 p.m.
Forsyth could see 1 to 2 additional inches of snow that could become mixed with rain before 1 p.m.

I'm sure NCHSAA folks have their fingers crossed that the only news will be from the fields of play.
Cherokee(coming through 10-15 inches)....Hibriten....AC Reynolds...Mr Airy....all got heavy snow,,,I think Reidsville did also...pray for all teams to make it safely...highest amounts predicted were 3-5 inches but the good man up above decided to add a little more...
I think alott of guys growing up fantasized about playing a real game in the snow .i know we did as kids. Well here it is!!!
Now that is surprising to everyone in Reidsville.
It has not melted. Not at all.
Still snowing as I type this.
Yep snowing here still. I tried calling my cousin to see what time the team is leaving. He plays for them.
Wrh is leaving in about 45 mins my cousin says where i live its calm nothing happening but wind blowing and misty rain
Melted my a##...lol....roads are basically wet and slushy but if it drops to low 20's late tonite...they will be an ice skating rink.....4-5 inches of snow in yard right now and still snowing (2:30pm)..............................
