Winter Storm Slams North Carolina With Heavy Snow Again

A winter storm is slamming North Carolina for the second consecutive weekend, bringing heavy snow and near-blizzard conditions to the region. Road conditions are deteriorating across eastern and central North Carolina, including the Triangle area, as the winter storm dumps significant snowfall across areas that rarely see this much winter weather. The winter storm is pulling arctic air southward while generating powerful wind gusts along the North Carolina and Virginia coasts. Multiple weather alerts remain in effect across the state as transportation officials urge residents to stay off the roads. This marks the second major winter storm to impact the region in as many weekends, with snow accumulation expected to be heavier than ice this time around.
