Sure, in and closer to NC's mountains and typically far less so the closer to the Atlantic. Apparently not so in this particular storm. Boone had about 4". Most of Charlotte had about 3-5" with more to some northern 'burbs and areas off to the east northeast up to Greensboro and the Research Triangle.

Charlotte weather news report In Charlotte, no one, particularly local locals and others less familiar with wintry conditions, should have driven this morning to late afternoon. Of course too many people did, a few too many not so well, and many accidents occurred (including one accident involving an ex-Nascar driver and a relatively stationary pine tree).

In the evening, some fine quality black ice appeared. Charlotte Mecklenburg County schools are closed again tomorrow as likely applies across northern NC. Thursday daytime, some snow and ice will melt some and black ice will reappear in the evening. More melting Friday, then upper 50s-low 60s sunny weather this weekend.

It got down to 12F here this morning which was the coldest temp here since 1989 when it reached 9F! The lowest it got in 2014 was 16F. In 1996 it got down to 14F.

NWS is forecasting a low of 17F tonight.

As far as Arizona, I'd place my life savings on the fact Mount Humphreys has snow lol. It's nearly 13,000 feet in elevation. It had snow in early June last year when I was there.

Looks like the actual low was 13F yesterday. Not sure why Wunderground had been showing 12F in the daily data yesterday evening.

It got down to 14F this morning at 6 AM.

Last maps and reports from this storm...


Reports from CoCoRaHS observers from North Carolina. Sorted by most snow.. 11.6" fell in that Durham spot & Franklinton!


"Total Snow" means what is on the ground at the time of the report this morning.


The precip amount includes rain too so hard to judge what the snow ratios were. Check the daily comments. I believe many areas got 15:1+

Ended up with 6.5 inches here - hasn't gotten above 32* yet but the sun is pretty strong and melting is happening anyway. It is so weird to drive around, nothing looks familiar with all this snow on it!
