Rain turned to sleet and snow in the Charlotte area, but in one county it was all snow, several inches of it.
It was the snow that forced road closures in one area, but not for the usual reason.
Police put up barricades to block traffic on Franklin Street – all to create the perfect sledding hill.
The police department
Wednesday night.
Police have closed several streets to let people take advantage of these perfect sledding conditions.
In the Facebook post the department said, "The grassy hill beside the police department is always a hot spot for sledding."
If people get too cold, they can walk over to the police department just down the street to warm up and grab a cup of hot cocoa.
