An arctic air mass ridging into Eastern NC supplying cold air, in conjunction with low pressure riding northeastward and just off the coastline, combined to produce a wintry mix of precipitation across the area. Precipitation fell as mix of sleet, snow, and freezing rain along and north of the highway 264 corridor, and mainly freezing rain south of that line. Only the Crystal Coast of Carteret and southern Onslow County as well as the Southern Outer Banks escaped the wintry precipitation. Freezing rain accretion of a quarter to half an inch was fairly common across the affected areas, with trees and powerlines being downed by the weight of the ice.
