Raleigh, N.C. — Of the thousands of snow photos taken in

spinning. Then, smoke started to come from the hood. At first, you’re thinking,

I always think snow in the south is a special event. I fondly remember my driving days when I lived in Michigan. Driving in a North Carolina snow is extremely different than driving in Michigan snow. Here's an example:
