A strong upper level system moved across Central North Carolina in a northwest flow. A surface low pressure center developed near the Triad the evening of February 3rd and then tracked southeast and east across Central North Carolina. This resulted in a band of two to four inches of snowfall no wider than 20 miles. Given the warm ground temperatures and short duration of the snow roads were clear shortly after daybreak on February 4th.
