Mountains:
As cold air spilled into the North Carolina mountains in the wake of an arctic cold front, rain quickly changed to snow after midnight. Periods of moderate and briefly heavy snow were reported. Northwest flow snow showers continued across the higher elevations of the Newfound Mountains and northern Smokies through the day. While most lower valley areas saw total accumulations of less than a couple of inches, 3-6 inches fell above about 3500 feet. However, accurate accumulations were difficult to report owing to wind gusts up to 50 mph causing considerable blowing and drifting snow. Piedmont: A low pressure system over the Gulf of Mexico tracked northeast along the Carolina and Mid-Atlantic coast. Precipitation overspread the area from the south, reaching western and northern portions of the North Carolina Piedmont prior to daybreak. With Arctic high pressure in place, sufficiently cold air was in place to support minor freezing rain across the Triad and surrounding areas. |
