WONDERING ABOUT POWER OUTAGES,

THERE ARE VERY FEW POWER

OUTAGES IN OUR AREA AT THIS

TIME.

>> WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE THIS

MORNING ACROSS THE TRIANGLE OF

KEEPING AN EYE ON SOME SLICK

ROAD CONDITIONS AND A LOT OF

DIFFERENT AREAS. WE START WITH

METEOROLOGIST AIMEE WILMOTH IN

THE WRAL STORM TRACKER COMING

INTO DOWNTOWN RALEIGH. NOT EVEN

ALL THE WAY OUT TO 95 AND PARTS

TO OUR SOUTH HERE, SEEN VARYING

CONDITIONS THERE. TELL US WHAT

YOU'RE SEEING OUT THE ROADS

RIGHT NOW.

>> THAT'S RIGHT. WE'RE ON FOR A

ONE. AND WE'RE ABOUT TO GET ON

TO WILMINGTON STREET AS WE HEAD

INTO DOWNTOWN RALEIGH. WANT

TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

HERE ON FOR A ONE. IT LOOKS

FINE. THIS IS 4 LANES THAT YOU

CAN CHOOSE FROM ALL OF THEM ARE

FINE. YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY ROLE,

ANY LANE TO GET IN. AND IT'S

TOTALLY CLEAR SNOW RIGHT HERE

ON FOR A ONE. BUT ONE, I WANT

YOU TO WATCH WHAT HAPPENS AS

WE GET ON TO WILMINGTON STREET

HEADING INTO DOWNTOWN. A LOT OF

PEOPLE TAKE THIS ROAD.

AND LOOK AT THIS AS WE MAKE

OUR WAY ON TO WILMINGTON

STREET. IT'S COVERED IN SNOW.

SO VARYING CONDITIONS OUT HERE

THAT IT IS DEFINITELY THE STORY

THIS MORNING. PARTS OF 95 WERE

GREAT PARTS OF 95 WARRANTS.

A GREAT SAME THING WITH 40.

SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE

SEEING. THIS AGAIN, WILMINGTON

STREET GOING INTO DOWNTOWN

RALEIGH. AND THERE'S ONE LANE

THAT'S

PARTIALLY CLEARED. BUT THERE'S

STILL SNOW EVEN ON THIS ONE

LANE THAT WERE TRAVELING ON.

SO THERE ARE STILL SOME MAIN

ROADS EVEN LEADING INTO

DOWNTOWN RALEIGH THAT ARE

COVERED IN SNOW. THAT'S WHY WE

KEEP TELLING EVERYBODY TO STAY

HOME, IF YOU CAN, AS YOU CAN

WORK FROM HOME. GREAT. IT'S

REALLY GOOD THAT THE SCHOOLS

ARE NOT IN SESSION TODAY.

I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T WANT MY

TEENAGER DRIVING ON THESE ROADS

THIS MORNING. BUT AGAIN,

VARYING CONDITIONS OUT HERE.

SOME ROADS ARE FINE. BUT JUST

AS SOON AS THE ROAD IS FINE,

IT CAN BECOME COVERED IN SNOW.

SHE JUST HAVE TO TAKE IT VERY

SLOW THIS MORNING. AND JUST,

YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE A

TEMPERATURE GOT OR MONITORING

THE ROAD. TEMPERATURES SO FAR

WE'RE ABOUT IN THE LOW 20'S

FOR CURRENT ROAD TEMPERATURES
