Asheville - A surprise snowfall in western North Carolina forced state troopers to close part of Interstate 40 until highway crews spread salt on the roadway.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Friday that the interstate was closed in eastbound lanes near the Haywood-Buncombe county line while crews work on the road between mile markers 33 and 37. The stretch of interstate winds through mountains.
Traffic was being detoured. The snow wasn't in earlier weather forecasts.
Elsewhere in North Carolina, a light snowfall forced two-hour delays in school opening in at least the two counties that include Greensboro and Winston-Salem.
