Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 30th of January.
Good morning, High Point.
A man and his dog were rescued from a freezing pond yesterday near Timberwolf Avenue after sliding down an embankment, police said (both were checked and found unharmed).
WFMY News 2 reporter Lauren Tear visited Triad stores that are preparing for a weekend rush ahead of winter weather — many retailers are boosting stock for expected demand.
Icy road conditions today have experts advising drivers in High Point to slow down, leave extra distance, clear snow from their vehicles, and focus on one driving action (a safety tip for winter travel).
The Piedmont-Triad Transportation Management Center monitors traffic across 13 counties using over 200 cameras to update signs warning of lane closures, crashes, and weather hazards.
The center coordinates with incident response patrols (providing roadside help like jump-starts and tire changes) to assist drivers as needed.
Residents in High Point are advised to clear icy walkways safely during conditions that began five days ago, using the shovel’s corner and lifting with legs rather than the back (this minimizes strain) and a rake to remove larger chunks before using salt or a tarp to maintain dry paths.
