What happened
The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.
Sleet and freezing rain began to fall in the wetsern Piedmont of North Carolina on the evening of the 28th. The ice accumulated to a half inch in some locations near the Triad area and along the Virginia border, with most locations in the area receiving around a quarter of an inch of ice. The rest of central North Carolina received a thin coating of less than a quarter inch, creating patchy spots of ice on roads and causing downed trees and power lines. Approximately 30,000 people were without power across the state at the peak of the storm. In eastern portions of the Sandhills and in the Coastal Plain, the freezing rain changed to light rain, preventing more widespread icing in that area. A lull in the precipitation from the predawn hours on Sunday until Sunday morning also kept ice accumulation minimal.
