A low pressure system tracked eastward along the Gulf Coast and spread moisture northward toward the Mid Atlantic. Meanwhile, high pressure to the north allowed temperatures to fall into the 20s, which caused the moisture to mostly fall as heavy snow. Some sleet and freezing drizzle also fell during this storm. The heavy snow caused numerous vehicle accidents and downed trees that fell on to roads and power lines, and it also caused one indirect fatality in Yadkin County. Accumulations of 10 to 20 inches were reported across northwest North Carolina, with anywhere from a trace to a foot from south to north across the Piedmont. There was also a narrow swath of 0.1 to 0.2 inches of freezing rain across portions of the western Piedmont counties. | |||
