概要

 Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Sunday, February 1st. We kick off with the big story gripping our city, a bomb cyclone dumping up to a foot of heavy snow across Charlotte and the Carolinas, turning streets like Independence Boulevard and Tryon Street into slippery challenges. Interstate 85 northeast of town saw chaos yesterday with over 100 vehicles, including dozens of semis, piled up after a crash, leading to more than 750 collisions statewide but no fatalities so far, per the State Highway Patrol. Flights at Charlotte Douglas International Airport faced hundreds of cancellations, so if youre traveling, check ahead. This snow follows last weeks ice storm, and while our power grid held steady here, folks further south are still in the dark.

City Hall reports crews are plowing main arteries like Providence Road and working overtime to clear sidewalks near Uptown landmarks, a decision that keeps daily commutes safer amid the freeze. Todays weather eases up after overnight light snow, with temps climbing from 15 degrees this morning to a sunny high near 33 by afternoon, feels like 25 with light winds, according to the National Weather Service. Bundle up for any outdoor errands, but roads should improve for events later.

On the crime front, past 24 hours stayed relatively calm with no major incidents or arrests reported by CMPD, though they urge caution on icy patches near NoDa warehouses to avoid slips.

New business buzz includes a popular SouthPark cafe reopening post-storm with hot cocoa specials, while a few NoDa breweries paused operations temporarily. Job market shows about 5,000 openings in healthcare and logistics around University City, rounded up from recent listings. Real estate dipped with about 200 homes sold last week, median price around 420,000 dollars, as buyers wait out the cold.

Local schools like West Charlotte High celebrated a math team win at regionals, and Hornets youth basketball notched a strong victory. Looking ahead, bundle up for Uptowns free ice sculpture walk tomorrow evening if weather holds, and a community food drive at Freedom Park Tuesday.

For a feel-good lift, neighbors in Plaza Midwood rallied to shovel out elderly residents on Pecan Avenue, sharing coffee and stories that warmed more than hands.
