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.
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.
