Yesterday’s winter storm may not have left us a significant accumulation of snow, but it did leave us with something much worse – early morning icy roads.
The Charlotte region saw snowfall from around 2pm to around 8pm in the evening with accumulation totals ranging from 3 inches in some parts of Gaston County to just over 1/2 an inch in the city of Charlotte. During the snowfall, temperatures hovered around 34 degrees, leading to slushy conditions. After the sunset temperatures quickly dropped into the 20s, which soon turned the slush into ice.
This morning we saw accidents pile up all around the Charlotte region as drivers encountered patches of black ice and slick roads.
