In today’s news: the Triangle is under a winter storm warning as we’re likely to get snow for the first time in years – about 1-2 inches total, possibly with some freezing rain. Aaron runs down school closings (CHCCS and OCS letting out early) and chats with a meteorologist from the National Weather Service about what we can expect to see. Also: a child exploitation arrest in Hillsborough; a data breach that may have affected Chapel Hill-Carrboro and Orange County Schools; the next step in an affordable housing initiative at UNC; record numbers for train travel in North Carolina; a messy win over Duke for Carolina women’s basketball; and big honors for a pair of Tar Heel track stars – and one UNC basketball star who’s being recognized for his work off the court.
