An updated list of Triangle closures and delays due to snowy weather forecast

Government offices, businesses and restaurants around the Triangle have modified their hours with Tuesday, Jan. 21’s snowfall.

By Wednesday, Jan. 22 morning, the National Weather Service’s map of snow accumulation reports showed about 1 inch in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, about 1.5 inches in Cary and 2 inches in Wendell that a weather watcher “measured on a snowboard,” The News & Observer previously reported.

Expect slick conditions on the roads, and be extra careful getting around.

If you’re planning on visiting government offices or parks, use this list, which will be updated, to make sure they’re open before heading out.
