Hazardous road conditions, power outages, school closings and changes in the forecast can all bring headaches. We're helping you track this storm.
In the Triad, we'll see a light wintry mix occasionally Saturday, but there won't be many issues. The bad stuff looks to hold off until late Saturday night. It'd be a good idea to stay off the roads Sunday morning if you can.
LOCATION-LOCATION-LOCATION: What you'll see depends on where you are. More than a quarter-inch of ice is likely for several Triad-area counties.
Triad cities started brining roads Thursday and Friday in preparation for the storm.
