North Arlington All Stars

In Raleigh, a mere inch of snow was all it took to cripple North arolina's capital and prompt plenty of finger-pointing as the city thawed from the surprise storm that caused gridlock and stranded the schoolchildren.

While a TV weatherman hung his head in shame — telling viewers his forecast of a mere dusting was "embarrassing" — the mayor vented at meteorologists for leaving Raleigh unprepared for Wednesday's storm.

A whole inch? My heart goes out to these people. I thought these Red Staters were supposed to be tough guys or something.
