A strong surface low deepening off the Carolina coast brought a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain to the northern-northwestern Piedmont counties. Snowfall amounts of 4 to 7 inches fell Forsyth, Person and Guilford counties. Just to the south and east of this area, a corridor of mainly sleet mixed with freezing rain produced significant icing of a quarter to half inch. This icing produced widespread downed trees and power outages over the northwest Piedmont. At the peak of the storm, over a 400,000 customers were without power. A natural disaster was declared in 7 counties across the Raleigh CWA that were impacted by this storm. | |||
