Winter weather continues to impact the Triad

Cold weather will hang around the Triad for the rest of the week, but without the snow that brought much of the region to a standstill over the weekend.

Friday’s storm dumped 2 to 4 inches across the Triad and as much as 6 inches in the High Country. 

Cody Burroughs, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, Va., says cold weather was in place in North Carolina and Virginia when a storm moved in from the southern U.S.

He says that’s become less common in recent years.

"The timing of that usually doesn’t line up or the cold air may try to recede before the storm," he says. "But in this particular instance it worked out where those lined up and we got stuff all across the region.”

Many Winston-Salem residential streets remained uncleared as of Sunday night and city officials warned of potential black ice even on ones that had been plowed.

The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office says a child died following a sledding accident Saturday. 

Many schools and districts in the area will be closed or operating on a delay Monday.
