Winter slams Triad
Two Surry traffic deaths blamed on weather
BY JOHN HINTON
Winston-Salem Journal
The winter storm caused two weather-related traffic deaths Tuesday in Surry County as light to moderate snow fell in the Triad and Northwest North Carolina. Snow and ice covered roads also caused many minor vehicle crashes in both regions, authorities said.
Four people were killed in a Mississippi mobile home fire blamed on a space heater as the storm passed through that state.
Gov. Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency for North Carolina on Tuesday as state officials urged drivers to stay off roads and highways, the N.C. Department of Transportation said.
McCrory signed an executive order that waives restrictions on weight and the hours of service for fuel, utility and truck drivers who might be working to deliver supplies, restore power and clear debris in response to the winter storm.
“Given the forecast and as winter weather approaches, we are working with all necessary departments and local emergency management crews in order to keep our citizens safe and up to date regarding potentially hazardous weather conditions ,” McCrory said in a statement..
The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools and five other school systems in the region are closed today because of the winter storm.
The snow may linger as today’ s forecast calls for sunny skies with high temperatures ranging from 21 degrees in Boone to near 30 in Mount Airy and near 31 degrees in Winston-Salem. The wind chill in Watauga County will make it feel like 11 degrees.
The low temperatures tonight will range from around 5 in Boone to around 11 in Surry County to around 11 in Forsyth County amid mostly clear skies.
The first fatal crash in Surry County occurred about 1:40 p.m. when a

Forsyth woman dies from flu complications
BY RICHARD CRAVER
Winston-Salem Journal
A Forsyth County resident has died from complications related to influenza, the first local fatality in the 2013-14 flu season, the Forsyth County Health Department said Tuesday.
Marlon Hunter, the county’ s health director, said the department was notified that a middle-age woman died Thursday. As with other flu-related deaths, the woman was not identified for privacy reasons.
There have been at least nine deaths related to the flu in the Triad, including six in Guilford County and one each in Alamance

and Randolph counties.
There have been at least 35 in North Carolina who have died from flu-related complications, according to the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. DHHS updates its data on Wednesdays, based on the previous week's numbers.
As has been the standard practice, DHHS officials have not disclosed the counties in which victims lived; however, county health officials typically are informing the public when a flu-related death has occurred.
'Reported flu cases and flu deaths have occurred in all regions of the state, so it is very widespread,' DHHS spokeswoman Kirsti Clifford said.
The flu season typically runs from Oct. 1 through March 31, hitting its peak in January and February. The HIN1 strain, or swine flu, has made up the bulk of the cases verified by the State Laboratory of Public Health.
Hunter said the Forsyth health department is providing free flu shots from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday; from 8:30 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. on Thursdays; and from 8:30-11:45 a.m. on Fridays.
With the latest totals, two victims were younger than age 5, while 15 were ages 25 to 49, 10 were 50 to 64 and eight were 65 or older. Clifford said at least two of the victims had received a flu shot.
State health officials say that most of the victims had some kind of health condition that made them more vulnerable to the flu, which is typical in flu-related deaths. Those conditions can include heart disease, asthma or a respiratory illness, diabetes, immune-system problems, obesity and pregnancy. Children under age 2 also are considered at a higher risk for the flu.
Forsyth Medical Center said today it still has not imposed visitor restrictions related to the flu. Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center also has not put visitor restrictions in place. Officials from the hospitals say they are evaluating influenza rates on a daily basis.
Triad hospitals that have flu-related visitor restrictions include High Point Regional Hospital; Cone Health's hospitals in Burlington (Alamance Regional), Greensboro (Moses Cone and Wesley Long) and Reidsville (Annie Penn); and Northern Hospital of Surry County in Mount Airy.
All visitor restrictions request that no routine hospital visits be made by anyone age 18 and younger, and the hospitals are asking adults to voluntarily restrict their visitation if they are experiencing such symptoms as a runny nose, sore throat, fever and cough.
Visitor restriction exceptions tend to be made for serious emergencies or end-of-life situations. The policy also tends not to apply to patients under 18 who have a scheduled procedure or need emergency care or hospitalization.

Winter slams Triad
Two Surry traffic deaths blamed on weather
BY JOHN HINTON
Winston-Salem Journal
The winter storm caused two weather-related traffic deaths Tuesday in Surry County as light to moderate snow fell in the Triad and Northwest North Carolina. Snow and ice covered roads also caused many minor vehicle crashes in both regions, authorities said.
Four people were killed in a Mississippi mobile home fire blamed on a space heater as the storm passed through that state.
Gov. Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency for North Carolina on Tuesday as state officials urged drivers to stay off roads and highways, the N.C. Department of Transportation said.
McCrory signed an executive order that waives restrictions on weight and the hours of service for fuel, utility and truck drivers who might be working to deliver supplies, restore power and clear debris in response to the winter storm.
“Given the forecast and as winter weather approaches, we are working with all necessary departments and local emergency management crews in order to keep our citizens safe and up to date regarding potentially hazardous weather conditions ,” McCrory said in a statement..
The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools and five other school systems in the region are closed today because of the winter storm.

driver lost control of her vehicle on Poplar Springs Road near Elkin and struck a tree, said First Sgt. Jeff Gordon, a spokesman for the N.C. Highway Patrol in Raleigh. The impact killed the driver's elderly mother, Gordon said.
The second fatal crash happened about 10 minutes later when two cars collided on N.C. 104 near Mount Airy and the Virginia state border, Gordon said. A driver of a minivan carrying three other people lost control of the vehicle in a curve, crossed the center line and collided with a pickup.
The truck struck the van's door, killing the frontseat passenger in the van, Gordon said. The highway patrol didn't identify either victim, and no further details were available Tuesday, Gordon said.
Areas in Ashe County received from ½ inch to 7 inches of snow by 4 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. Beech Mountain in Watauga County got 3½ inches of snow. An area 3 miles east of the Hayes community in Wilkes County received ½ inch of snow.
The weather service reported a trace of snow along National Service Road in western Greensboro, and a parking lot was covered with snow in Rural Hall. By 5 p.m., Forsyth and Guilford counties had received a coating to ¼ inch of snow, but light snow and slush covered streets in Winston-Salem.
The Triad was expected to get a total of 1 to 1½ inches of snow by midnight Tuesday, said Jonathan Blaes, a weather service meteorologist in Raleigh. Ashe, Watauga and Alleghany counties were expected to receive an additional 1 to 2 inches of snow by this morning, said Dennis Sleighter, a weather service meteorologist in Blacksburg, Va.
As many as 50 million people across the South could be affected by the time the snow stops on Wednesday. Up to 4 inches of snow fell in central Louisiana, about 3 inches was forecast for parts of Georgia. Up to 10 inches was expected in the Greenville, N.C., area, and along the state's Outer Banks.
On the Gulf Shores beaches in Alabama, icicles hung from palm trees. Hundreds of students in the northeastern part of the state faced spending the night in gyms or classrooms because the roads were too icy. New Orleans' merry Bourbon Street was oddly quiet as brass bands and other street performers stayed inside.
In addition to the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, classes were canceled today in Guilford, Ashe, Watauga and Surry counties as well as Elkin and Mount Airy. Services at many offices of the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles were disrupted Tuesday because of the wintry weather.
Several vehicle crashes occurred in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County and in the western Piedmont during the snowstorm, authorities said. A vehicle crashed in the 5400 block of U.S. 158 near Kitty Lane in Walkertown, the highway patrol reported. A car ran off Business 40 East and into a patch of trees in Kernersville.
'We are slammed with wrecks,' said a dispatcher at the highway patrol's regional headquarters in Salisbury. 'We are assuming they are weather-related.'

As many as 50 million people across the South could be affected by the time the snow stops on Wednesday. Up to 4 inches of snow fell in central Louisiana, about 3 inches was forecast for parts of Georgia. Up to 10 inches was expected in the Greenville, N.C., area, and along the state's Outer Banks.
On the Gulf Shores beaches in Alabama, icicles hung from palm trees. Hundreds of students in the northeastern part of the state faced spending the night in gyms or classrooms because the roads were too icy. New Orleans' merry Bourbon Street was oddly quiet as brass bands and other street performers stayed inside.
In addition to the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, classes were canceled today in Guilford, Ashe, Watauga and Surry counties as well as Elkin and Mount Airy. Services at many offices of the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles were disrupted Tuesday because of the wintry weather.
Several vehicle crashes occurred in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County and in the western Piedmont during the snowstorm, authorities said. A vehicle crashed in the 5400 block of U.S. 158 near Kitty Lane in Walkertown, the highway patrol reported. A car ran off Business 40 East and into a patch of trees in Kernersville.
'We are slammed with wrecks,' said a dispatcher at the highway patrol's regional headquarters in Salisbury. 'We are assuming they are weather-related.'
