Very light freezing rain, freezing drizzle, and freezing mist developed across portions of western North Carolina during the morning, in assocation with low pressure developing along a warm front across the Gulf Coast states/Tennessee Valley. Despite the very light nature of the precipitation, due to about a week of unseasonably cold weather, the precipitation froze to surfaces very quickly, and roads became very slick, resulting in numerous traffic accidents. Although precipitation rates increased during the evening, as the warm front gradually pushed north into the area, temperatures warmed above freezing in many locations, allowing much of this heavy precip to fall as rain. Most locations saw less than a tenth of an inch of ice accretion, although some locations across the foothills and far northern Piedmont approached a quarter inch, with a few downed trees, lines, and  power outages reported.
