North Carolina Governor Josh Stein says portions of three interstates were briefly closed on Sunday as snow, sleet and freezing rain pelted the state.
At a news conference, he said conditions could worsen as the snow and ice refreeze overnight and linger into Monday.
School is canceled for thousands of North Carolina students on Monday, and many businesses are telling employees to work from home.

NPR isn't using her full name because members of her family are undocumented.
Her dad isn't working this week, and her brother isn't going to school.
Officials say 44 people detained in Charlotte have criminal backgrounds.
Two are suspected gang members.
Others have no criminal history.

Thank you.
What's it like to be around Charlotte right now?
Well, we started to see this crackdown Saturday morning when the city woke up to dozens of Border Patrol agents driving through Charlotte in unmarked vans, especially along the city's major immigrant corridors.
And very quickly, videos started circulating online of agents chasing people down sidewalks, breaking the car window of a man who later said he was a U.S.
citizen.
Agents were also filmed questioning landscapers who were putting up Christmas lights in a front yard.
And, you know, it created a lot of chaos.
One of the people I spoke with was Jessica Arias, who owns an auto shop in East Charlotte.
