Photos taken 01/31/2026 Lincoln County NC zone 8a. We had a widespread snow event, in all of North Carolina. We had around 9 inches of snow here and quite windy, parts of Charlotte recorded 12 inches. Most of the sleet and ice has melted from last week in all but a few shady spots. We're expecting 7°f temperatures tonight 02/01/2026. Last night we hit 11°f and in typical NC fashion should be back into the 40s and 50s by end of the week and all this snow will be gone. This is the most snow we've had here in over 10 years, here. This was also a very nice fluffy powdery snow, which isn't common in the Southeast outside of the Appalachians. Mostly our snows are either mixed with combination of sleet, ice and freezing rain or very wet and melty which may freeze into ice overnight. The palms were mostly looking good, before this we'll see how things look after the snow is gone.
