NORTH CAROLINA (WTVD) -- The dangerously cold weather is here to stay for a while, and snow moved through central North Carolina, the Sandhills, and some NC coastal areas.
The ABC11 First Alert Weather Team continues to track the snow and who will see the greatest impact.
This comes only a week after many across central NC got a measurable snowfall since 2022. RDU officially got less than an inch of snow, along with 0.07" of ice. Areas closer to the Virginia border saw the highest amount of snow around 3 to 4 inches.
Schools closings and delays
The Wake County Public School System said all classes are canceled Thursday for students. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools said Wednesday afternoon that Thursday will be a remote learning day.
