Downtown has about 3 inches and it is very wet more like slush on the ground. I suspect the fairgrounds will be about the same. Fast food places will be open today and by tomorrow just about everything will be open. In the past everything would close up but these days as soon as the storm is over things scramble to reopen. The fairgrounds themselves I suspect will be a nightmare because unless they have a dedicated crew to remove snow it will be low on the priority list I'm sure for getting it done

The inside is going to be a mess with all the trucks and trailers pulling in and out plus all the gear that is carried in the open to and from the show like the big box and blinds and other ladder stands.

The roads are just fine around Raleigh. They are in better condition now than they were on Tuesday with the light snow.

Edit to say that a coworker in north Raleigh says they got a lot more snow than I did and the roads was covered.

They really are, and he comes up with some great ideas. I bet he has given me 4 or 5 different hangers over the past couple of years. Pinks a great guy.....

I will say be careful in the parking lot in the morning, they cleared some of it but not all so I guess it will freeze tonight. Our booth is up and we are ready! After everyone has been stuck in the house I bet by Saturday it will be a mad house!

I was at the fairgrounds earlier today. There was a lot of slush. Overall roads are good. Use some common sense while driving and you'll be fine.

Went there this afternoon.

1. Crowd was light.

2. Parking was TOUGH!!!!! I parked way out by the dragstrip of the fairgrounds.

3. If the crowds are heavy, have 4WD AND mudboots!! There are a LOT of places to park in the mud, and I suspect many will, but it's soft and wet so if you're bringing your honnie, make sure she's not wearing flip flops or sneakers. If so, prepare to park near Carter Finely.

4. A few vendors didn't show up. Some empty booth's there.

V. Bring your deer heads. They need them.

7. Bring your wallet. Didn't see a lot of "show specials". A few, but not a lot.



I'll be back out there Sunday.

We are going Sunday, did not want to but my son and his friend who has not been already planned it and I need to buy some new boots so I will see what they got. Is it going to be worth it ? Where are the good vendors at?
