Our weather team is tracking another weather system that could bring more snow to the Piedmont Triad this weekend.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — It is now day three of hazardous road conditions. Greensboro and other Triad city crews are continuing to clear out icy neighborhoods and side streets. 

According to Greensboro city officials, priority two roadways are about 80% complete. There are still some areas with layers of ice and crews say those areas will get extra attention Wednesday.

The goal is to get all residential streets cleared today, said city officials. 

Many schools in the Triad are learning remotely Wednesday due to unsafe travel conditions for staff, students, parents, and bus drivers.
