A mix of light freezing rain and sleet developed across the northern and central mountains around daybreak on the 23rd. Temperatures gradually warmed from the southwest throughout the day, allowing precipitation to change to rain during the afternoon in all areas except along the Blue Ridge escarpment. Accumulations of sleet and ice during this time were quite light, generally less than a tenth of an inch, although a few areas near the escarpment reported up to a quarter inch of ice and sleet. While a few secondary roads became slick, mainly across the northern mountains, travel was not significantly impacted. As a cold front swept across the area during the evening, sleet and freezing rain expanded in coverage before a transition to snow showers occurred, mainly across the northern mountains and Madison County. Additional accumulations of sleet/ice and mostly snow were light in this area, generally less than 2 inches. | |||
