North Carolina Snowstorm Brings Flurries, Heavy Snow, and Cold Weather

North Carolina is experiencing a winter storm bringing snow, wind, and freezing temperatures. Central North Carolina is expected to receive between three and six inches of snow, with some areas possibly seeing up to 10 inches by Sunday. Snow began falling Friday night, intensifying Saturday morning, with heavier snowfall anticipated Saturday afternoon through Saturday night. The Triangle region is seeing less snow than initially projected due to dry air, with Raleigh expected to get around three inches. Wind chills are dropping temperatures into the teens, with gusts up to 30 mph causing wind chills in the single digits. Flight cancellations have risen to 127 at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, and nearly 200 people are without power in Harnett County. Authorities advise avoiding driving if possible, and if necessary, to drive slowly and increase following distances. Snowfall has been observed in Roxboro and Kerr Lake, with live webcams capturing flurries and accumulating snow. Power outages and flight delays are widespread, and emergency services recommend preparing for winter conditions, including safe driving, power outages, and protecting pipes from freezing.
