A local television station reported another fatality involving a pedestrian on a state highway. In Pitt County, a search and rescue team of seven people and two dogs spent Sunday searching for a hunter in woods near Grimesland. They gave up after dark and were to continue searching Monday, said Tom Hegele, a spokesman for the State Emergency Response Team. He had been hunting with friends and was searching for his dogs. The search was called off shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday when daylong snows grew heavier.
Water goes from being ankle deep to chest deep.
It was tough going in there. Snow accumulations ranging from 1 to 10 inches were reported throughout the coastal plain east of Raleigh, and gale warnings were in effect for the coastal waters. The official number from the National Weather Service for Pinetops was 10 inches. I got up at 5 a.m. I couldn't open the back door without pushing the snow out of the way.
