Some vehicles have spreaders attached that disperse sand and dirt onto snow-covered roads.

The higher elevations are expecting several inches of snow as a major blast of cold and high winds approaches the region.

There is a concern that many roads and secondary roads that were patched up with sand and gravel after Helene could break apart because of the wintry conditions.

At 5 p.m. on Eyewitness News, Channel 9′s Dave Faherty will have the latest on the NCDOT’s efforts to keep roads safe.
