A cold arctic air mass built into western North Carolina on the heels of gusty northwest winds developing west of a storm system moving up the Southeast coast. The gusty winds and cold air passing over a fresh snowpack resulted in low wind chills across much of the high terrain and portions of the foothills. Wind chill values from 0 to -10 were common in elevations above 1500 feet or so. Meanwhile, wind chill values of -20 to -30 were measured above about 4000 feet.
