As a warm front lifted slowly north across the Tennessee Valley and the Carolinas, an area of light to moderate snow developed across Avery County around daybreak on the 24th, and continued off and on through the day, except across western portions of the county, where snow changes to rain as temperatures warmed above freezing. Temperatures warming above the surface forced a transition to sleet and freezing rain across the southern and eastern part of the county during the afternoon and early evening, but not before 2-4 inches of snow had accumulated. Sleet and freezing rain continued across much of the southern and eastern part of the county through the evening. Ice accretion of around a quarter inch was reported across much of these areas by the time the precipitation tapered off during the early morning hours of the 25th. The weight of the ice downed trees and power lines, with scattered outages reported.
