Precipitation developed in association with weak low pressure moving across the Southeast during the overnight of the 14th and early morning of the 15th. Precipitation began as rain and/or snow across the mountains, but transitioned to liquid as temperatures warmed aloft. However, a wedge of cool air remained in place across the Blue Ridge, resulting in freezing rain, mainly within a few miles either side of the Continental Divide. While most areas saw around a tenth of an inch or less of ice accretion, damaging ice accumulations were reported across the high elevations of Caldwell and Burke Counties, as well as eastern portions of Avery County. | |||
