North Carolina was declared to be in a state of emergency on Friday.<br />A major winter storm is expected to slam the southeast with snow and sleet this weekend.<br />According to Reuters, Winter Storm Diego could bring a foot of snow to mountain areas of the Carolinas.<br />Sleet and freezing rain could cancel or delay flights and snarl traffic on icy roads.<br />Snow may be beautiful but it can also be treacherous and I urge North Carolinians to take this storm seriously and get ready for it now. N.C. Gov. <br />
