A strong cold front brought a surge of arctic air into North Carolina on the 10th and plunged temperatures 40 to 50 degrees from readings the previous day to below freezing. Low pressure developed along the front causing widespread sleet and freezing rain across northern and western sections. The greatest ice accumulation of one to two inches and associated damages to trees and power lines occurred in the northern Piedmont and northern Foothills regions. Elsewhere in the northern Interior and western sections, ice accumulations ranged from one-quarter to one 1 inch. Numerous motor vehicle accidents were also reported. | |||
