Winter Weather in Greater Rutherford, North Carolina

Light to moderate freezing rain developed across the Piedmont and foothills of the Carolinas, mainly north of I-85 and east of I-26, during the pre-dawn hours. Warm roads and temperatures right at freezing prevented much in the way of travel problems. However, many areas saw between 0.1 and 0.2 inch accumulation on trees and other elevated surfaces. Ice accumulation may have approached 1/4 inch across portions of Iredell County, where a few trees were reportedly brought down by ice. Warming temperatures forced a transition to rain by late morning.
