Please be prepared for slippery travel escpecially in the Southern Piedmont near Troy and heading south toward Charlotte. Light snow may also cause slippery spots around Winston-Salem and Greensboro as the winter storm brings heavier snowfall to the North Carolina beaches.

Although flurries and freezing temperatures are a rarity for our area, cities tell News 3 they're well-prepared and hard at work to prevent adverse impacts on the roads.
