Cold air filtering into western North Carolina on the heels of very gusty northwest winds in the wake of an Arctic cold front resulted in widespread temperatures in the teens throughout Christmas night into the morning of the 26th. Winds gusting in the 25 to 35 mph range resulted in wind chill values of -5 or colder, primarily in elevations above about 3000 feet. Meanwhile, elevations above 5000 feet or so saw gustier winds, temperatures in the single digits, and wind chill values of -15 or lower, with values as cold as -30 reported on the highest peaks and ridge tops.
