    Good Morning Everyone:

    The roadways in the western part of Beaufort County are icy and sleet covered. The trees and powerlines are coated with ice and small limbs are falling as a result of the wind. We can expect some scattered to isolated power outages throughout the day as the temperatures continue to fall. Bone aching wind chills that can cause Hypothermia or Frost Bite will still arrive tonight, tomorrow and Sunday night. Hats off to "NCDOT" even though the Brine was washed away from the inch plus of rain, the Beaufort County NCDOT has been treating roads as continuously. Please use caution if you do need to drive somewhere and remember the priority of NCDOT road treatments if responding to an incident. The Belhaven and Aurora areas will receive half of the sleet/snow that we are expecting on the western end of the County, however, black ice will still be an issue in those areas also.

    The good news is that the storm is moving very quickly and will produce less sleet/snow than was originally expected. See attached briefing. There will be no 11:00am NWS briefing this morning. Unless we get hit with a large number of power outages we will close the EOC at Noon today. The undersigned will then monitor the storm from home and forward will keep everyone updated as the situation dictates. We will keep the EOC staff and equipment in ready/standby status through Sunday evening. The EOC can be reopened within 30 minutes if the situational status changes.

    Have a good day and please watch out for the ice when you go outside. If you have any questions please contact the undersigned.

Snowstorm May be Imminent on Saturday: Volume III Public Issues, Government, Governing Beaufort County Beaufort County Opens 2 Hours Later


HbAD0

Latest Governing Beaufort County

Bureaucrats believe they set policy for spending taxpayer dollars usurping the directions of elected officials.
Has the local government acted responsibly and transparently?
Beaufort County Commissioners meet, and work by a majority vote to do the business of those constituents they purport to represent.
Waste, fraud, abuse and incompetence continue to govern county school budgets and decision making.

HbAD1

However, if one believes that Beaufort County government is in full command of the issues of our times, here locally, one might need to steel their resolve for a more perfect understanding of the intellect possessed by the Center-Left /Left Coalition.
To borrow a big phrase from this salient plan originating at the federal level, under President Trump's watchful eye, whose time has finally arrived, even here in the mispent realm of Beaufort County government(s).
When President Trump professes "America First," he absolutely means it to his core, and to our benefit as a Representative Republic, which is a welcome change from the previous administration of Idiot President Biden; America's second Non Patriot President.
