Very light precipitation developed across the mountains during the afternoon and continued into the evening. While most of the precipitation fell as snow, a brief transition to light freezing rain and drizzle occurred during mid-afternoon. Due to the very cold air that was in place, ice quickly formed on roads across the area. Numerous traffic accidents were reported during this time, especially in the Asheville area. Accumulating snowfall was fairly sporadic, primarily confined to locations along the eastern face of the Blue Ridge. Locations that did see snowfall generally only saw around an inch, with trace amounts of ice. | |||
