City crews put brine on the roadways Thursday morning. For those looking to go sledding if snow accumulates, the Wilmington Municipal Golf Course is asking people not to sled on the greens. Staff at the golf course are putting up temporary fencing and signs to prevent sledding. City crews are prepared to salt and sand elevated structures, such as bridges, either Friday or Saturday morning.
