| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong winter storm moved from the southern Plains into the Tennessee Valley and collided with strong arctic high pressure nosing south into the western Carolinas. Sleet and freezing rain were the main precipitation types during the afternoon and evening on the 2nd. Sleet became very heavy along and north of Interstate 40 where 4 to 6 inches accumulated. Sleet accumulated to between 1 and 2 inches south of Interstate 40 before changing to freezing rain. Numerous traffic accidents occurred across western North Carolina and there was one fatality (indirect) on Interstate 26 in Polk county. A boat house in Alexander county collapsed under the weight of the sleet. A cooperative observer in Rutherford county estimated damage in his area to be $55K, but official damage estimates for the entire region were not available at the time of this writing. |
