A significant winter storm dropped between 5 and 6 inches of snow across Bertie county. There was some blowing and drifting of snow due to winds which gusted over 30 mph at times. Precipitation actually began as rain, which changed to heavy snow. Snow then mixed with sleet and freezing rain during the day. Very cold air built in behind the storm system, preserving the snowpack for nearly a week.
