Cary, NC - Winter Storm Fern has left and Cary is scaling its response to transition back to normal operations - thanks in large part to the quick work of its A-Team. Crews have treated intersections, primary and secondary streets, and gone into neighborhood streets and cul-de-sacs based on curbside collection routes. Effective at 8 p.m. today, Cary's Emergency Operations Center will close. Cary's A-Team will staff a skeleton crew overnight to respond to slick spots and historically icy areas. Since Fern moved into our area, nine weather-related crashes were reported, all with non-life-threatening injuries. Cary 311 had 29 weather-related non-emergency cases.
