Winter Weather February 18, 2021 – February 19, 2021 · Vance, North Carolina

What the National Weather Service wrote

One-tenth of an inch to two-tenths of an inch of ice from freezing rain was reported across the county.

The wider storm

An area of low pressure tracked across the Deep South and eventually along the coast of the Carolinas. Meanwhile, cold surface high pressure to the north continued to extend into the area. This resulted in a cold air damming airmass developing across central North Carolina, with freezing rain developing across the northern Piedmont. Ice accruals ranged from trace amounts across southern portions of the Piedmont to a couple tenths of an inch near the North Carolina-Virginia border and in the northwest Piedmont. Imapacts ranged from a glaze of ice accrual in the trees to multiple slick spots with several accidents and scattered power outages.
