Wider weather episode

A storm system moved from the central Plains into the Southeast, bringing widespread wintry precipitation to the central Piedmont of central North Carolina. A mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain was observed across the region, with 3-5 inches of snow and sleet accumulation across the Triad, and around 0.10 to 0.20 inch of ice accrual from freezing rain across the Triangle, and a light glaze of ice across the Coastal Plain. This resulted in difficult travel across the Piedmont, with numerous accidents across the northwest Piedmont, where the heavies snow fell.
