Special Weather Statement issued January 19 at 6:05AM EST by NWS Raleigh NC
There are reports of patchy black ice this morning around Central North Carolina. Temperatures will remain below freezing through mid-morning, keeping some slick spots around through that time. Secondary, less traveled roads, bridges, overpasses, and sidewalks will continue to be be especially susceptible. However, there are reports from the Triangle Area of some slick spots on Interstates and main roads where patches of water running across the road from Sunday's precipitation froze overnight. Black ice is difficult to see and distinguish from dry surfaces. The deceptive nature of black ice can catch you unaware while you are driving or walking, causing you to lose control of your motor vehicle or to slip and fall.

About
Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve is North Carolina's first State Natural Area, designated in 1963 to protect a unique remnant of the longleaf pine forests that once covered millions of acres across the southeastern United States. Located near Southern Pines in Moore County's Sandhills region, this 930-acre preserve features towering longleaf pines, some centuries old, rising above expanses of wiregrass in a landscape that supports extraordinary biodiversity. The preserve is home to more than 500 animal and plant species adapted to the Sandhills ecosystem, including rare and intriguing inhabitants such as the red-cockaded woodpecker, fox squirrel, Sandhills pyxie-moss, pine snake, and the carnivorous purple pitcher plant. Visitors can explore multiple nature trails ranging from half a mile to 3.5 miles in length, all well-maintained and offering intimate views of this remarkable forest ecosystem. Weymouth Woods operates as a day-use facility only and does not offer camping. The preserve opens daily at 8 AM year-round with no entrance fees required. A visitor center with exhibits about the longleaf pine ecosystem and the Sandhills region is open to the public. The preserve is closed only on Christmas Day, making it accessible for nature study, hiking, and wildlife observation throughout the year.
