After this snowstorm hit all 100 counties, NCDOT crews are working overtime to clear the roads. Freezing temperatures mean melting snow and ice will refreeze over the next few days. Please stay off the roads today and tomorrow if it is not necessary for you to travel.

On this day in 1960, Ezell Blair Jr., Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, and David Richmond, students at North Carolina A&T University, sat down at a segregated lunch counter at Woolworth Department Store in Greensboro and asked to be served. Though they were denied service, they refused to get up.

Thank you to the NCSHP, NC National Guard, and local law enforcement for keeping us safe during this snowstorm. We are not out of the woods yet. It's going to be bitterly cold this evening across the state.

North Carolina, please stay off the roads today if you can. We need to keep them clear so road crews can plow the snow and law enforcement can keep folks safe.

❄️The snow has started and will be moving east across the state throughout the day. Stay off the roads if you can, and take some time to enjoy the winter fun! Stay warm, be safe, and visit readync.gov for winter weather preparedness and safety information.

We’re turning dirt into jobs here in North Carolina! US 301 in Halifax County is one of 15 locations across the state being prepared for new business opportunities. Preparing these worksites today for the businesses of tomorrow will continue North Carolina’s strong economic momentum.

We are doing all we can to prepare for another weekend of winter weather. youtu.be/B4iXX_zFZlc

North Carolina is the third-fastest-growing state in the country, and this is the best place in the country to live, work, play, and raise a family. We welcome the 150,000 new people who came to North Carolina this past year. You’ll surely love calling North Carolina home.

This weekend, snow and bitterly cold temperatures are expected across much of North Carolina, and strong tides and high winds could cause flooding along the coast. Today is the day to prepare for whatever the storm may bring.

North Carolina, snow is likely coming our way this weekend. The State Emergency Response Team is activated and is positioning resources across the state to quickly respond to any needs. Starting Friday depending where you are, please stay off the roads if you do not have to travel.

Welcome to Brine Mountain, one of the NCDOT facilities that supplies trucks across the region to prepare the roads for winter weather.

I look forward to commemorating North Carolina’s history throughout the state as we celebrate America 250 events this year.

RHA’s Behavioral Health Center in Alamance provides services for mental health, substance use, and people with developmental disabilities. They take the strain off overworked law enforcement, meet people’s needs, and help prevent crime.

North Carolina is the perfect place to live, work, AND play. Check out some of the world-class sports, music, and fun coming up in 2026 thanks to our Major Events Fund. Stay tuned for more event announcements!

The North Carolina State Capitol is lit yellow this evening in observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day and as a symbol of our shared commitment to rooting out antisemitism and never forgetting this dark chapter in human history.

Holocaust Remembrance Day reminds us to never forget one of the darkest chapters in our world’s history when 6 million Jews and millions more Slavs, Roma, and disabled and LGBTQ people were killed by the Nazis and their collaborators simply for their faith and heritage.

North Carolina, please be careful of black ice and drive with caution if you need to be on the roads today. Visit DriveNC.gov for updated road conditions.

Thank you for staying off the roads and looking out for each other this weekend, North Carolina. NCDOT crews are working quickly to clear as many roads as they can before temperatures drop again this evening, and utility companies are working hard to restore power.

North Carolina, we are not out of the woods yet. Stay warm, stay safe, and, most importantly, please stay off the roads.

NC: Winter weather is here. Now is the time to stay off the roads as conditions are expected to deteriorate overnight.

No matter your faith or where you call home, we all have a role to play in bringing about peace. The monks’ journey and our state’s reception are an inspiration. I am pleased they reached Raleigh safely, and we wish them continued safety and health as they continue their walk to Washington, D.C.

It is an honor to welcome Monks for Peace and Aloka the Peace Dog and mark Walk for Peace Day in NC. Thank you to these monks for inspiring hope across our state.

Today, another person in Minnesota was killed by ICE. A full, transparent investigation must take place. The job of law enforcement is to keep people safe. It’s past time for the violence the stop.

We are as prepared as we can be for this winter storm. The biggest concerns will be ice accumulation, very cold temperatures, dangerous driving conditions, and power outages. We are doing everything we can to keep North Carolina safe.

My office received a call from the White House that my request for an Emergency Declaration was approved. We are grateful for their partnership and quick response.

I am grateful to the public servants across the state who are working around the clock to prepare North Carolina for this winter storm and keep us all safe.

North Carolina, a winter storm is on the way. We are taking it seriously, and so should you.

North Carolina is home to the second largest rural population in the country, and we need to invest in those communities to keep them thriving. The state recently awarded Bethel, Elm City, La Grange, and Nashville nearly $1 million each to help improve housing and public spaces.

As we prepare for winter weather across the state this weekend: Follow your local media, the National Weather Service, and your local emergency management agency. Keep all of your electronic devices charged. Layer up and stay warm.

53 years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court assured women they had the constitutional right to make their own health care decisions. Tragically, that guarantee has been stripped away.

I’ve declared a State of Emergency as North Carolinians brace for winter weather this weekend. The State Emergency Response Team is already working to make sure resources are in place to keep folks safe.

It was a pleasure to present Eric Church with the flag of North Carolina alongside the North Carolina Association of Chiefs of Police.

To make our communities safe, we need to make sure law enforcement officers are paid adequately, have access to wellness resources, and can implement successful co-responder models we are seeing across North Carolina.

North Carolina, it's still early in the week, but it looks like there will be winter weather coming our way. We will have more info on the weather later in the week.

As Attorney General, I took the big opioid drug companies to court for their role in creating the opioid epidemic that ravages so many communities across North Carolina – and we won. Now we are putting $1.5 billion to work across NC to help people struggling with addiction.

If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl; but by all means, keep moving. youtu.be/1iYrFL7QVO8

It was an honor to be at this year's annual MLK Breakfast in Rocky Mount. Dr. King said, “We must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future.” An audacious faith drives me as Governor, just as it drives so many of you who’re committed to creating a better world.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dedicated his life to moving our nation closer toward its promise: to truly be a land of liberty and justice for all.

It was good to join state employees to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. and to award DOJ employee Tamika Henderson this year’s Larkin Award.

In meetings yesterday in D.C., there was no question that North Carolina needs more support. I will continue to work with our delegation to help western NC recover from Hurricane Helene.

⛷️❄️Western North Carolina is open – yes, even in the winter! If you are making winter getaway plans, consider skiing on North Carolina’s slopes.

Last year, more than $126 million in SUN Bucks went to families across the state to put food on the table for more than 1 million kids during the summer months.

I am grateful to Sens. Budd and Tillis, members of North Carolina’s Congressional delegation, and acting FEMA Administrator Evans for meeting with Sen. Corbin, Mayor Manheimer, and me today in Washington, D.C. and for their work to help western NC rebuild.

All are welcome to attend the annual State Employees’ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Observance Program at First Baptist Church in downtown Raleigh. Can’t make it in person? Join us online: YouTube: @GovernorJoshStein X: @NC_Governor Facebook: @NCgovernor

To date, federal funding has covered only about 12% of the total damage Hurricane Helene caused, far less than after other major storms. It’s time for Congress to give western North Carolina its fair share.

I am grateful for the support North Carolina has received from the federal government to help rebuild western North Carolina, and we are working hard to get that money out the door as quickly as possible. To fully rebuild, however, we need Congress to do more.

I heard the good news as I landed in D.C. this morning that the first WNC homeowners have been approved for the homeowner buyout program. Thank you to Senators Budd and Tillis, the rest of the NC delegation, DHS and FEMA for this progress, which means more folks can move forward.

East Mecklenburg High School is home to a career and technical education program in partnership with Central Piedmont Community College, providing real-world experience as students navigate their future careers.
