Winter Weather — Greater Rutherford, North Carolina

2010-03-02 · Greater Rutherford, North Carolina

Wider weather episode

Snow, mixed with rain at times, quickly spread north and east across the western Carolinas shortly after sunrise. Despite bursts of moderate to heavy snow, a warm ground and above freezing temperatures caused much of the snow to melt upon impact. As a result, accumulations were light, ranging from trace an inch or so along the I-85 corridor, to 2-3 inches along the I-40 corridor.
