| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An upper level disturbance brought just enough moisture and lift across western North Carolina to produce light snow across portions of the area. Accumulations were generally between 1 and 2 inches, although Little Switzerland reported 3 to 4 inches. Hundreds of traffic accidents occurred, with some injuries resulting, as conditions rapidly deteriorated and became slick in a span of 20 minutes. Interstate 40 was blocked for a while due to several multi-car pile-ups. |
