episode_narrativeRain gradually changed to freezing rain and then snow and sleet across the southern Piedmont. The precipitation continued well into the next day. The layer of ice under the 1 to 2 inches of snow (3 to 4 inches in Gaston county) caused serious traffic problems. The ice accumulation was enough to cause widespread power outages around the Charlotte Metro area.All across western and central North Carolina, numerous traffic accidents ans sledding accidents were reported. There were numerous indirect injuries and a few fatalities associated with the storm. Most injuries and deaths were traffic related. In Alexander, a man was crushed when an outbuilding collapsed from the weight of the snow.
