I saw that in Charlotte, NC, too. Less than 1.5 inches and all the resources in the county were busy trying to keep I-95 moving, so the rest of the roads weren't plowed and sanded which caused everyone to stay home. I was scratching my head as to why they would plow 1.5 inches.
We were working at a plant that employed maybe 250 people, and when we got there(in our rentals with regular tires), it was us and a handful of managers. Now granted, there were probably some helping the old lady next door, taking care of business, or just sledding with the kids. But talking to them later, quite a few admitted snow scared them.
