Good morning, Greensboro.

NAACP Greensboro led its annual MLK Day Parade along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive on Friday, Jan.

23, with public officials, school bands and community organizations joining hundreds of spectators in a moving celebration.

Officials warn the winter storm may knock down power lines with a quarter inch of ice, urging residents to stay 30 feet away from fallen lines or remain in vehicles if one lands on their car — Duke Energy has 18,000 workers ready to respond when weather permits.

A recent report shows that 70 percent of cancer patients will survive five years (up from 49 percent in the 1970s) even as new cases rise, so local physician Dr. Veita Bland stresses timely screenings and smoking reduction on his radio show at N.C.

A&T.

The Guilford County Department of Health and Human Services confirmed a raccoon tested positive for rabies on Jan.

22 in Gibsonville — the county’s fourth case this year. Residents are advised to supervise pets outdoors and ensure animals four months and older have rabies vaccinations.

With a winter storm ahead, Greensboro residents can try simple hacks to prepare for icy conditions by clearing steps and creating an outdoor spot for their pets.

Experts advise following ice melt directions and rinsing off chemicals later to protect concrete and gardens.
