Freezing rain hit parts of the Piedmont hard on Sunday. Most of the heaviest ice fell along and north of I-40. In many areas, there was between a tenth and a quarter of an inch of ice. More than a quarter inch fell in some areas, especially closer to the Virginia border. Power outages were widespread. Here are some ice totals reported to us:

Preliminary ice totals from the NWS for our January 13th ice storm.

Conditions tonight will be something to watch for. Temperatures will begin to drop to around freezing, and just below freezing overnight. Lows will range from 28-31, and could allow for some patchy black ice on some bridges and overpasses. Also, some occasional drizzle is possible, which could keep an icy glaze on some of the trees. Use caution if traveling overnight and into Monday morning.
