Winter Storm Gianna Update - Monday, Feb. 2, 2026

Carteret County and the Town of Beaufort urge residents to avoid all nonessential travel. 

The NC Department of Transportation is working to clear roadways, but many secondary roads remain icy and dangerous. 

Daytime warming may help, but refreezing is likely overnight.

We thank you for heeding this warning and for your patience as crews work around the clock to clear roadways.
