Winter Weather in Graham, North Carolina

Scattered to numerous snow showers continued through the day of the 2nd before tapering off during the early morning of the 3rd. Total accumulations were largely elevation dependent, with only a dusting up to an inch reported in the valleys, with 2-4 inches reported above 3500 ft or so.
