Lewisville and Clemmons Face Snowfall and School Closures Amid Winter Storm

On Saturday, January 31, 2026, the communities of Lewisville and Clemmons experienced a substantial snowfall ranging from 6 to 8 inches, marking one of the most significant winter events in recent years.

 

This storm arrived just a week after an icy weather system had already left its mark on the region.

 

As of today, February 2, 2026, residents are enduring one of the coldest mornings in recent memory.

 

The Piedmont Triad International Airport recorded a temperature of 3°F this morning, a chilling figure not seen since February 5, 1996.

 

Major highways have been cleared effectively; however, two-lane and secondary roads remain snow-covered and icy, posing significant hazards. Lewisville-Clemmons residents have been expressing their disappointment on social media about how many local secondary roads still are still hazardous.

 

Residents are advised to allow extra time for their commutes and to drive cautiously.

 

The Governor has urged travelers to equip their vehicles with a phone charger and a blanket, emphasizing the persistent risk of black ice throughout the week.

 

Over the weekend, North Carolina reported more than 1,000 collisions, underscoring the treacherous conditions.

 

In response to the unsafe road conditions, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools (WS/FCS) have announced the closure of all school and district buildings for Monday, February 2 and Tuesday, February 3.

 

All student activities, including afterschool programs, are canceled.

 

This day will not be designated as a remote learning day; instead, students are encouraged to enjoy the winter weather safely, engage in reading, and complete any regular homework assignments.

 

Only essential operations staff are expected to report to work if conditions permit.

 

All other staff may opt for telework, use annual leave, comp time, or arrange to make up the hours, depending on their position.

 

Residents are reminded to stay informed through official channels and to exercise caution during this period of severe winter weather.

 

Community cooperation and vigilance are essential as the region works to recover from the storm's impact.
