Here's a link to a few photos of that event: http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news012303.htm.<br /><br />In looking at the 2003 pictures you will notice a vehicle stuck on the beach. The driver didn't reckon on the foot of snow on top of the sand, and the vehicle just bottomed out.<br /><br />The roads were ice covered and slick Sunday morning. However, I saw a state truck with a blade going doown Hyw 12 in the afternoon. It was one of those trucks they use to push sand off the road after overwash.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-20431601464362218322011-01-24T07:31:54.126-05:002011-01-24T07:31:54.126-05:00Ocracoke looks so beautiful in the snow! & I a...Ocracoke looks so beautiful in the snow! & I am glad you are feeling better.

When's the last time the island received such a heavy snow accumulation? I've got to imagine it's rare.<br /><br />And what about accommodations for drivers? It's hard to believe the community would budget annual funds for snow removal and road salt. I suppose it's almost more efficient just to wait for it to melt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-32716415491682549792011-01-23T21:55:37.553-05:002011-01-23T21:55:37.553-05:00OK, Phillip, Maybe this is a stupid question, but ...OK, Phillip, Maybe this is a stupid question, but here goes:<br /><br />Does snow make driving on the beach any more difficult? Is it actually slick at all on top of the sand? <br /><br />I was wondering if it just adds to the added depth of the sandy fluff making bottoming out more problematic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-49550021021821773532011-01-23T21:52:55.754-05:002011-01-23T21:52:55.754-05:00Perhaps this is all just proof of global warming!?...Perhaps this is all just proof of global warming!?!
