WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) — As soon as the snow was covering the ground families here in Winston-Salem were out sledding. The hill at the dash was covered with happy sledders.  “You can see we're all doing it and we’re all having a good time,” said a sledder, Paxton. “I’m from Florida so this is definitely once in a blue-moon type of experience which is fun,” said a sledder, Hope. “I’m from Massachusetts so I’ve really been missing the snow,” said a sledder, Erin.

Some people were using cardboard boxes, some people were using kids and I was like ‘Oh man I really wanna do that,’” said a sledder, Leah. A kind stranger let her use their sled. Most families were within walking distance from the sledding spot which was good because Saturday morning, the roads were still covered in snow. “Last night as you’re aware the temperatures got pretty low, and snow kind of got packed up but we started this morning actually moving plows, still applying the brine, still applying the salt, and working on those major routes and those critical care routes,” said Director of Field Operations for the City of Winston-Salem, Keith Huff. Watch: What are the roads like driving from Greensboro to High Point? The City of Winston Salem has been preparing all week, and that’s good because they’ve been busy. “WSPD or emergency management will dispatch us to the scene. We will come out there and if the road needs plowed, if it needs brined, if it needs salted to get those areas freed up so that traffic can move that’s our goal and objective,” said Huff. Friday night a pickup truck lost control and ran into 66 Diner. A friend of the owner explains that, luckily, they closed early. “That was very fortunate because then a pickup truck lost control on 66 and they entered in the wall. This wall is made of brick, so the crash was a strong one. It was not a small one,” said Customer of 66 Diner, Fulvio Carlo Toma. As the sun goes down and temperatures drop, be aware of ice.
