The calendar may say spring is right around the corner, but winter isn't over just yet.
The Triad could see anywhere from a dusting to several inches of snow Tuesday, and that means people are again gearing up for whatever mother nature has to offer.
“We're basically set for spring,” Lowe's Home Improvement Zone Manager Steve Kivett said. "We've got the air conditioners, grills, patio furniture and all that. So we are really at the end, we're past that season."
But that doesn't mean they don't have supplies. Monday, workers pulled out what's left of the ice melt, shovels and firewood.
“We'll get that down and have it set out and try and be prepared for the rush so that the customers don't have to wait when they come into get it,” Kivett said.
They're trying for business as usual at schools throughout the Triad, but officials say students are buzzing about the potential for more snow days.
“Our average is just under four days a year and we are right at the average, it just happened that it all came in one week. We've had a lot of significant snow events, but fortunately we've just been delayed,” Theo Helm, Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools spokesperson, said.
Schools already scheduled make-up days for the last round of snow, but they say they're prepared if any more are on the way.
“The board of education always puts in anywhere from 7 to 10 snow days built in the calendar,” Helm said, “These are days where kids would normally be out of school but they're marked on the calendar so that parents know there could be school that day if there is a snow day somewhere.”
