Strong west to northwest winds developed across the northern mountains of North Carolina in the wake of a cold front. Although winds became very gusty immediately after the cold front passed during the afternoon, the damaging winds primarily occurred during the evening and overnight hours, when many trees and power lines were blown down. Multiple outbuildings were also damaged or blown over and at least one tree fell on a structure in Old Fort.

February 26, 2013

Freezing rain developed across the Blue Ridge areas around midnight. While many areas transitioned to rain during the overnight, cold air locked in along the eastern escarpment resulted in a mostly freezing rain event there. By the time the precipitation tapered off, some locations had as much as a quarter inch of ice, with isolated downed trees and a few power outages. Some sleet and snow mixed in early across the northern mountains, with little or no accumulation.
