...for the Carolina's/Virginia.


Risk of iced roads grows as snowstorm closes in on North Carolina

Quote:

Drivers in North Carolina faced a growing risk on Saturday of roads glazed with ice as a major winter storm drew near, with the National Weather Service warning of more than a foot of snow in the state's mountainous west before the weekend was out.

The snow is due to arrive after dark, with the heaviest falls expected in the early hours of Sunday morning.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, who declared a state of emergency on Friday, told residents to finish their food stockpiling and other storm preparations and to avoid unnecessary travel.

"Prepare for DAYS of impact not hours," North Carolina Emergency Management warned residents in a statement. Tens of thousands of homes could lose power, the agency said.

Hopefully, no one has to travel through this area...for the next few days.
