9:30am Thursday Post

Well, the winter event is unfolding for our area. Most folks did see a period of snow and/or sleet this morning, but in all honesty, for most folks in the Charlotte region, the period of snow was a bit shorter than I expected. However, freezing rain is continuing now, and temps have for the most part held steady in the 28-31 degree range. The precip will gradually dwindle down as we head into the early afternoon hours. Most elevated surfaces are building some ice, but I am not anticipating widespread power outages. However, some slick spots will continue on area roads...mainly bridges and overpasses.

Up in the Triad and over to the Triangle, there has been more snow this morning. In fact, quite a few locations in those parts of the state have received over an inch of snow.

Matt Morano and Bob Child continue live weather hits for the Charlotte and Triad markets, respectively. Tara Lane and myself are in-house, and will be on the air to relieve them later this morning.

Thanks for reading!
