Yankees may laugh, but the truth of the matter is, no one can drive on ice. And while the Winter Storm of 2015 may be a non-event for those north of the Mason-Dixon line, at least in Charlotte, North Carolina, when weather gurus predict snow, freezing rain and the most dreaded of all, “BLACK ICE,” it gets people’s attention.
As Boston and the upper East-Coastal states brace for another foot or more of snow due to the latest Nor’Easter, much of the Charlotte-Metro region may be scrambling to make child care, work and personal arrangements with only a chance of freezing temperatures and any form of precipitation.

Modified Transcript for the Hearing Impaired of “Serious Felony Investigations by Law Enforcement”
When someone you love is arrested and taken to the Mecklenburg County Detention Center (Jail), one of the first questions families ask is 
simple and urgent, “Will a lawyer go see them in jail?”
The answer is yes, attorneys routinely visit clients at the jail. Defense counsel are authorized to meet with incarcerated clients during attorney visitation hours upon presentation of valid credentials. The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Department does not require defense attorneys to reserve visits through the public scheduling systems used for social visitation. Lawyers regularly appear in person to consult with detained clients without advance scheduling when jail operations and court timing allow.
But the fuller explanation is more nuanced. Whether a lawyer actually can meet with a new client in jail before a first court appearance depends far more on time and logistics than permission and the process of going to the Mecklenburg County Jail Intake facility to visit your loved one.
