| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A light mix of snow and sleet accumulated to an inch or two in parts of the mountains and foothills during the day. Freezing rain and sleet became predominant during the night and caused fairly widespread damage. Power outages extended for a day or two in some cases. The hardest hit counties were Transylvania and Henderson where up to 3 inches of ice was reported to have accumulated on trees. Trees fell for hours after the freezing rain ended. In the northern mountains there was more sleet - up to 2 to 3 inches accumulation. Light icing conditions extended well into the piedmont after 6 am with fairly good coatings of ice on trees as far southeast as Monroe. True damage estimates were not available. |
