.@GSO_Police can you enforce the speed limit on Hobbs Rd near the Bog Garden before someone gets killed? I’m a regular walker here and rarely see cars going 35 mph.

❄️ Wintry Precipitation Potential Friday Bottom Line: While these percentages are currently low, they indicate a signal for potential wintry mix. It is too early to lock in specific impacts, but it is time to pay attention to the forecast updates as we get closer to Friday!

Traveling through the mountains this #Thanksgiving? Remember the ongoing Hurricane Helene repairs in the Pigeon River Gorge have changed I-40. It is one lane in each direction and reduced speeds with no shoulders.

Well we've had quiet a number of locations that saw a sighting of the 4 letter "S" word the last few days. With that here is a look at where snowfall totals stand this season so far in the East. Yes, Boston has had less snow than many areas in North Carolina.
