Winter Weather Summary
POSTED: February 27, 2004 7:50 a.m.


Snow in North Carolina; Snow in the West...


Snow and ice will persist today, mainly in central North Carolina, where a few more inches will accumulate before the storm finally tapers off this afternoon. This has been a memorable winter storm, indeed, for the Carolinas; Rock Hill had a storm total of 18 inches, Charlotte nearly a foot. The warm-up this weekend will mean plenty of melting.

In the Rockies this morning, there is one area of low pressure over eastern Montana and another over southern Nevada. The strong upper-level trough will swing across the Rockies this weekend and deepen the surface storm along the Front Range of the Rockies by Sunday. In terms of snowfall over the next 24 hours, the Wasatch in Utah will pick up 6-12 inches of new snow, beginning later today. One to three inches, generally, perhaps up to 6 inches, will be found from southwest Montana through western Wyoming, western Colorado, much of Utah and northeastern Nevada and into the mountains of Arizona. One to three inches of new snow will fall in the Cascades and in the Sierra.
