The massive snowstorm now snaking its way up the East Coast of the United States did huge damage in states across the South on Wednesday, but North Carolina suffered a bit more than most.
The region was blanketed by 6-14 inches of snow. The traffic scene in North Carolina was also a giant mess, akin to the scene two weeks ago in Atlanta, Ga., after a snowstorm there caused minor chaos in the streets.
People in North Carolina abandoned their cars on gridlocked highways around the state, especially on the road between Raleigh and Charlotte, and the five additional inches expected in some parts of the state today will likely only add to traffic woes.

At least two people in the state have died from traffic-related accidents, according to the News & Observer, Gov. Pat McCrory deployed 50 national guard units to assist people still struggling with the storm, and officials have opened emergency shelters statewide.
Roads remain icy today, and the News & Observer reported that there were around 92,000 power outages across the state as of this morning.
