Details:
Light snow fell across the western Carolinas Tuesday afternoon
and evening. While the more significant accumulations occurred
mainly along and south of the I-85 corridor, some locations to
the north saw a light dusting. Much of this snow stuck to roads,
while roads that did not become snow covered have plenty of wet
spots this evening. With temperatures expected to plummet to the
teens and single digits late tonight, any wet or snow-covered
roads will freeze and become very slick and hazardous. If
traveling across the area tonight into Wednesday morning,
including during the morning commute, slow down and allow for
plenty of space between yourself and other vehicles.
