Patrick microphone issues there but thank you. Depending on where they were heading many drivers dealt with ice and slush and packed snow slick conditions on the roads. Wyffs myra ruiz shows us what they encountered in North Carolina. Im on front annual road on i40 west in the Block Mountain county county. We see the line of vehicles that opted not to come up the road because the hopes of making it all the way seemed pretty dim. No, because we knew we would not get out. It was still snowing and i had to go to work and the roads were completely covered. The cars are covered by snow. Meantime there were signs of a rough ride in the asheville area on interstate 26. There were cars abandoned on the road left in hard snow. Some say staying on the road was not easy. In Henderson County parts of highway 25 barely seemed passable depending on which end. It was a little snow packed have allwheel drive. Once we were on the main roads they were pretty clear. The chilli temperatures could keep it around and gusty conditions raise other concerns much it is the other of power lines and others at home and how do we get to them. Another bridge they are hoping not to cross 6789. Patrick our crews have been all across the upstste and aly myles was in clemson and Mike Mccormick was in spartanburg. As mike tells us, people started hitting the roads early this morning before the sun was up. Mike we watched people deal with this intersection by West Gate Mall on the west side. A lot of slipping and siding. We saw friends joy residing who were ought just trying to have fun. The driver of that jeep we saw him a few hours later driving a car that went off the side of embankment. Some Good Samaritans had to pull him out. It is real slippery. I wouldnt advise nobody with no small cars to be out here because they will be in a different. They will be calling a tow truck. Mike Police Warning no matter how high the temperature today stay off the roads because they had already been working several accidents. Aly we are on clemson universitys campus and it is kind of a weird time because it is 32 degrees but even though this snow is sticking around you can see where that melting drain off is going. So much rain and snow the last couple of days obviously the conditions this morning we have more snow that was after last nights snow, last afternoons ice and all the rain yesterday. Most of this area in clemson not a whole lot of places to eat. That was great for the owner of this pizza place and they were one of the only options an they had a crazy successful night. We delivered and it stopped delivering so we were just dealing with business in the store. It is shocking how much people want pizza when it sis snowing the the. Aly he was the one to go around to pick all of them and bring them in and bring them home. He said it was well worth it to know they were safe. Patrick now the weather may have a part to play as the panthers take on the cardinal for the n. F. C. Championship. Ricardo, crews are keeping an eye on the field. Thats right. They are. I walked inside bank of America Stadium a half hour ago and the snow off the field. It is being pushed to the side around the field theres kind of slush and mud. But the Playing Field has been covered by a tarp and officials covered it before the storm hit on friday and their plan is to remove it 24 hours before the game so, probably in the next hour that tarp will come up to let the field breathe and get air ahead of the game. There were issues with that field in the n. F. Krfpltc. Divisional game last week against seattle but the players were able to change cleats and they had no issues. So it should be about the same type of no issue as long as they are wearing those cleats and it should be playable against the cardinals. We will have more on that n. F. C. Championship game in sports and also stay tuned for our panthers playoff special from 7 00 it we are live in charlotte. Patrick check out this time lapse in the Asheville Chamber skycam.
