LOU WATERS, CNN ANCHOR: Farther south, at least 18 inches of snow covers the ground in parts of North Carolina. The governor, Jim Hunt, has declared a state of emergency. He's asked the National Guard for help coping with this storm. And Brian Bowman with CNN affiliate WRAL in Raleigh brings us up to date on the latest conditions.</s>BRIAN BOWMAN, WRAL REPORTER: Here in Wilson County, about an hour east of Raleigh, one of the busiest highways. Highway 264 back there barely has traffic on it today. We have about four to five inches on the ground in this area. That's snow on top of sleet on top of ice, so even if folks could drive on the snow, driving on that ice is very difficult. I-95 doesn't look much different. All four lanes are open in this area, but very few cars, even 18-wheelers, out on it today. That's the story here in Eastern North Carolina. Now back to you.
