Winter Weather — Greater Burke, North Carolina

2022-02-07 · Greater Burke, North Carolina

Wider weather episode

Moisture associated with low pressure developing off the South Carolina coast overspread the North Carolina Piedmont during the morning, resulting in a brief period of light precipitation. Enough cold air was in place to allow much of this to fall as freezing rain north of I-85. Light ice accretion of around a tenth of an inch or less was reported, mainly on elevated surfaces. Roads were warm enough such that travel issues were primarily relegated to a few slick spots on bridges and overpasses. Spotty dustings of snow were also reported north of I-40.
