The winter storm that hit North Carolina Friday into early Saturday morning was weak in the Triangle with less than an inch of snowfall in Wake County. But, elsewhere, the North Carolina mountains received a significant snowfall.

North Carolinians should pay close attention to their local weather forecast, make sure they are prepared with what they need at home before Friday afternoon, and stay home if possible as ice on the roadways will likely create dangerous driving conditions.

A winter storm in central North Carolina prompts a warning for hazardous conditions, with snow, sleet, and potential power outages expected.
