Experts are telling residents of North Carolina to stay off the roads on Saturday, if at all possible. There are Winter Storm Warnings in effect for central North Carolina through the weekend. Rain/sleet is set to begin early Friday night and continue through Saturday afternoon.
While the type of precipitation will likely change during the course of the weekend, the main concern will be icy roads. Luckily, experts do not expect to see widespread power outages because of the storm, so after you go sledding, you can bundle up inside with some hot chocolate and catch up on your Netflix shows.
