Episodes

February 16, 2015

Snow and sleet overspread portions of the North Carolina foothills and Piedmont during the afternoon. Precipitation changed quickly to sleet in most areas, before mixing with freezing rain from southwest to northeast during the late afternoon and early evening. Sleet and freezing caused deteriorating road conditions by late evening, when heavy accumulations of sleet and/or freezing rain were reported across much of the area. Most locations saw around a half inch to an inch of sleet, along with around a tenth of an inch of ice accretion. However, areas south of I-85 saw more in the way of freezing rain, with up to a quarter inch of ice accretion reported in addition to light sleet accumulations. Scattered power outages were therefore more concentrated there. Roads became very treacherous and impassable in many areas until melting began on the afternoon of the 17th.

An intensifying cyclone off the Southeast coast and cold air damming combined to produce a period of heavy sleet followed by heavy icing across the northwest Piedmont of North Carolina. Sleet first developed during the late evening of the 6th, then began mixing with freezing rain around midnight. Sleet and freezing rain continued through the overnight into the daylight hours. Many areas reported around a half inch of sleet by around sunrise. Meanwhile, most areas changed completely to freezing rain around this time, which continued off and on through the morning, occasionally changing to or mixing with sleet or even snow. About a quarter inch of ice accumulated on top of the sleet, creating very dangerous driving conditions that resulted in many accidents. Power outages also became common during the morning, as trees, limbs, and power lines began to fall under the weight of the heavy ice in combination with winds gusting to around 30 mph.

February 10, 2010

Strong west and northwest winds developed during the afternoon over the foothills and northwest piedmont in the wake of a cold front. Numerous trees and power lines were downed throughout the afternoon and early evening. A tree fell through a mobile home in Lenoir. Another tree fell on a home 5 SW Marion. A tree fell and power lines fell on a moving vehicle in Salisbury, briefly trapping the occupants. One person was injured by flying debris at a construction site in Lenoir.

December 18, 2009

A strengthening area of low pressure moved out of the Gulf of Mexico, across southern Georgia, and then up the southeast coast. As the low passed south of the region, snow became heavy across the foothills and piedmont during the afternoon, and continued to fall heavily throughout the afternoon and evening. Snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour became common over the foothills. The heavy, wet snow combined with gusty winds to cause a few trees and power lines to fall. Scattered power outages were reported. ||Total accumulations over the foothills ranged from 4-6 inches in the lower elevations near the piedmont to as much as 14 inches closer to the Blue Ridge. Over the piedmont, the snow mixed with rain and sleet at times, which cut down on the amount of accumulation, especially in areas closer to the I-85 corridor. Total accumulations ranged from 2 inches near the I-85 corridor, to 6 or 7 inches in areas along and north of I-40.||After the storm ended, continuous melting and refreezing of ice and snow resulted in several mornings of treacherous driving across the area, with numerous accidents reported.

March 7, 2004

As the cold front moved across the northern foothills and northwest piedmont, thunderstorms accompanying the front intensified somewhat, producing occasional wind gusts that enhanced the strong gradient winds. The interaction of the thunderstorm gusts and strong gradient winds resulted in some significant damage. Numerous barns and outbuildings were damaged or destroyed. Trees, power poles, and billboards were blown down. Power outages were widespread. In Salisbury, a section of the roof of a building was blown into a mobile home sales lot, causing damage to several units.
