A band of light snow and snow showers will move across central NC this afternoon and early this evening. Accumulations will range from a few tenths of an inch in the Triad and near the VA border to a light coating near U.S. 64. Some accumulation of snow is possible on area roads and bridges which could may result in hazardous travel.

Cheston mentioned this but I am impressed with GA DOT....for once! They have used their brine solution on I-75 to the Tennessee line and when I hopped on I-575, it had already been treated as well. Now if they would just hit some of the state Hwys like 140, 20, etc.

I don't know about the others but Bartow usually does an exemplary job of plowing and treating. I once had a conversation with one of the plowman telling him he was too good and I didn't want to go to work.

Wifey said we've had some sleet and it is 29.
