A significant winter storm has swept through North Carolina, bringing heavy snowfall and winter weather conditions across various regions. According to reports from WLAR and WITN, snow began in the mountains of North Carolina in the early hours, with accumulations expected to vary based on location. In Emerald Isle, the storm has already produced measurable snow, leading to advisories and warnings issued by the National Weather Service (NWS). Meteorologist updates indicate that areas in the Triad and Greensboro could see 1 to 3 inches of snow by Monday evening, while higher elevations could receive between 3 to 6 inches. NWS has cautioned residents regarding travel difficulties, urging people to stay updated on hazardous road conditions. Some quotes from local authorities echo the message of preparedness: ‘Treat this weather system with respect and prepare for potential delays and dangerous conditions,’ said meteorologist John Smith. Heavy winds coupled with low temperatures are expected to exacerbate the situation. Snowfall is projected to tapper off by late evening, but ongoing temperatures in the 20s will lead to potential icy conditions overnight. As the storm continues, residents are advised to keep updated with local forecasting and heed any travel warnings issued.
