Charlotte received her first measurable snowfall since 2022 late last night, breaking a snowless streak that lasted 1,037 days.
Snowfall occurred as favorable atmospheric conditions brought flurries from Monday evening into early Tuesday morning, particularly affecting areas just north and west of the city.
The snow left behind a dusting, with some locations seeing totals up to 1.5 inches, especially near the I-40 corridor between Statesville and Concord.
The snowfall led to school schedule disruptions in the region due to icy road conditions.
Many schools announced changes for Tuesday:

- Two-Hour Delays:
