The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.

A rapidly moving coastal storm system along the North Carolina coast produced up to 4 to 5 inches of snow in the Coastal Plain, Sandhills and Piedmont. Around 2 to 3 inches of snow fell across the Northwest Piedmont and Triad. Due the weekend timing of the storm and lack of freezing rain impacts were minimal outside of a number of vehicle accidents.
