Charlotte, NC roads getting worse as sleet, ice build up

. A vlog by the YouTube channel named in the video’s upper left corner and serves as the original blog post for this content.

Road conditions in Charlotte are getting worse as freezing rain and sleet continue to fall. First Warn forecaster Larry Sprinkle said Charlotte will continue to see a mix of freezing rain and sleet all day Sunday after brief bursts of snow in the early morning hours.

That sleet and freezing rain will form a glaze of ice that causes dangerous driving conditions, including the major roads and highways in the Charlotte area. This includes Interstate 85, Interstate 77, Interstate 485 and U.S. Highway 74/Independence Boulevard. If you don’t have to get out, please stay home! #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx
A wintry mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow is falling in Charlotte, North Carolina, and snow is falling across the western Carolinas as the winter storm moved into the region early Sunday morning.

Sprinkle says the Charlotte metro area will see that icy mix throughout the day Sunday with heavy snow expected all day long in the mountains of North Carolina. Sprinkle said areas like Boone and some of the ski slopes could see upwards of a foot of snow Sunday.

Winter Storm Warnings and Ice Storm Warnings are in effect Sunday because of hazardous conditions expected through Monday morning.

The Winter Storm Warning, which warns of impacts from ice, sleet and snow, includes Charlotte, Rock Hill, Monroe, Concord, Salisbury, Statesville, Gastonia, Shelby, Hickory, and Morganton. These areas are in the foothills and mountain regions of our viewing area.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
