Winter Weather in Northern Jackson, North Carolina

As low pressure moved up the East Coast, light precipitation developed over western North Carolina during the evening of the 13th, beginning as rain in most locations. As colder air wrapped into the area behind the low, snow levels dropped, allowing all but the lower valleys to transition to snow. Moist northwest flow resulted in the precipitation retreating to the Tennessee border areas with time. Total accumulation were generally in the 3 to 5 inch range for elevations above 3500 feet or so, while the lower valleys saw anywhere from trace amounts to around a couple of inches.
