Winter Storm Event

Snow Started: February 8, 2016 at 4 am EST Ended: February 11, 2016 at 12 am EST
A moist northwest flow developing in the wake of a strong arctic cold front brought a protracted period of scattered to numerous snow showers to the far western mountains of North Carolina. Although snow showers developed off and on over a 60 hour period, most valley locations received rather light accumulations, generally of 2-5 inches, with locally higher amounts reported close to the Tennessee border. This was especially the case over northern Madison County, where a small band of moderate to heavy snow developed off and on, and some locations saw storm total amounts of as much as a foot there. Otherwise, the highest totals were found above 4000 feet, where storm total amounts ranged from 12-18 inches.
