episode_narrativeA strong slow-moving winter storm moved from the Gulf of Mexico north through the Carolinas on the 3rd and 4th, bringing with it heavy rain, snow and high winds. Snow accumulated between 1 and 3 inches across the higher elevations of the mountains by early afternoon on the 3rd. Newland, Beech Mountain and Jonas Ridge had 4 inches of snow by early evening. Mount Mitchell ended up with 20 inches of snow. Roads were icy across the higher elevations and contributed to some wrecks. Heavy rain in Candler early in the morning caused a mobile home to collapse, destroying its' contents. Flooding developed across portions of the mountains during the afternoon as creeks overflowed, covering roads in many areas. High gradient winds between strong high pressure in the upper Midwest and the passing strong low pressure combined with wet ground conditions to down numerous trees and power lines. Power outages and blocked roads were common into the evening hours. A building collapsed in Statesville due to the wind.
