A strong upper level low induced a surface low pressure system that tracked through the region. With a cold air mass already in place, a winter storm impacted the region. All of central North Carolina saw a mix of precipitation, with the northwestern Piedmont receiving mostly snow (3-5 inches) and further south and east receiving mostly freezing rain (1/4 to 1/3 of an inch). As the upper low tracked over the region the following day, additional minor snow accumulations were seen.
