Snow Hits Eastern Carolina Second Time This Week! Save Email Print
Posted: 6:21 AM Nov 21, 2008
Last Updated: 10:37 PM Nov 21, 2008

A winter weather advisory for some of our northern counties has been cancelled, as snowfall has diminished and temperatures are now above freezing.

Snow has accumulated on the grass and on decks in Bertie County, while there are reports of moderate snow at Kill Devil Hills and Southern Shores in Dare County.

The National Weather Service says any snow on secondary roads will now quickly melt. The advisory was for Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Pasquotank and Perquimans counties.

Snow has also been reported in Greenville, Kinston, Pollocksville and in Washington. One school system, Elizabeth City/Pasquotank County schools, delayed classes by two hours this morning because of the snow.

Snow was also seen early Friday from Boone to Lexington, Greensboro, Chapel Hill and the Raleigh-Durham area.

WITN Meteorologist Jim Howard says while some areas could receive a light coating of snow, roads should not be impacted.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service said it is expected the snowfall won't last very long, and what does fall could leave a light dusting on grassy and elevated surfaces. Western portions could see up to a half-inch of snow.

A strong cold front will create gusty winds through Friday afternoon. Combined with dry, windy conditions from earlier in the week, authorities are advising residents in central North Carolina that burning dry leaves is not recommended.

Highs will only reach the 40s on Friday and Saturday with lows in the 20s.

no dont worry alpha female it was 'reality check' who squashed my dreams. i feel like such a loser now that i wouldnt know what to do with snow. also i dont really put it past some folks for thinking obama could make it snow. there were some folks that thought bush was responsible for katrina. i think he did it, too. i hear he doesnt like new orleans.

To Anonymous, Are you addicted to Obama or something or do you just have a one track mind? Maybe you just don't know what SNOW is lol.

Posted by: Anonymous on Nov 22, 2008 at 09:05 PM
Im surprised that Obama doesn't want to take the snow and redistribute it with Florida!

Posted by: Feeling Jealous Location: Verona, NC on Nov 22, 2008 at 08:51 PM
I saw a few flakes the other day, but none this second time around. I remember winters as a child in eastern NC when the snow drifts were 3-4 feet deep, but that's been about 20 years ago. I sure would love to see some snow like that again. My children have only seen snow a few inches deep, and even that was several years ago. So I'm feeling jealous that you guys had snow sticking to the ground, even if it was only for a little while. Enjoy it!

~Hug.yowch!.Hug~ I never meant to squash your dreams.

As stated, this is about snow. I can only assume these people making this political have 1 tooth in their mouth, married to their cousin, or never got past the 1st grade. Either way, I hope it snows more. To the ones being political, I hope it rains @ your house... although I'll bet they are to dumb to have a house.

Posted by: T Location: Washington on Nov 22, 2008 at 01:25 PM
Let me tell ya, the people here in Wsahington were headed to the Piggly Wiggly as quick as they could. We get hurricanes here, and you hardly see anyone in the stores. Anyway, it was beautiful, and I am ready for more. Go Pirates!!!!

that is so disgusting and rude about 'sticks' i dont know how your posts get past the mediator, ive said less and my posts dont show up. anyways, hooray for snow. speaking of disgusting and rude, go watch the southpark that aired after the election. so great, so great...

Posted by: Boots on Nov 22, 2008 at 09:03 AM
To Anonymous, As for Bush having a few more tricks up his sleeve, I just bet he does. Just like the dirty tricks he has played on us for the past eight years. THANKS BUT NO THANKS.

Posted by: B. Alanced Location: winterville on Nov 22, 2008 at 08:50 AM
it's about SNOW...not politics people.

Posted by: Snow Woman on Nov 22, 2008 at 08:48 AM
TO yowch!, You know some people just needs to rain on every ones parade. I wish you all a Merry White Christmas. We don't care what all the "HUMBUGS OF THE WORLD THINK OR WANT" They can go have a pity party for their self.

To:Anonymous on Nov 21, 2008 at 05:57 PM....cute comment about Bush. I see you're one of the few poster without a stick in your rear. I bet that stick hurts when they sit down to type. LOLOLOLOL

Posted by: yowch! Location: h on Nov 21, 2008 at 10:45 PM
maaaaann reality check! you just squashed my christmas dream like a little roach! and really, alpha female, what ON EARTH does this have to do with obama? i mean besides the fact that he WAS born in a manger and can make it snow whenever he wants it to... either way i would love to see just a few inches of snow for just a few days--for the kids that is. im off to call obama and put in my request!

Posted by: Snow Woman on Nov 21, 2008 at 09:46 PM
I guess we have a few idiots that can't think of anything besides Obama. Oh well if that is what floats their boat, kind of sad don't you think?

Posted by: Reality Check Location: Greenville on Nov 21, 2008 at 08:35 PM
You Eastern North Carolinian's wouldn't know what to do with more than 1 inch of snow. This town doesn't even have a snow plow! Face it people, Eastern NC will be green this Christmas.

Posted by: ~ALPHA female~ Location: O84P on Nov 21, 2008 at 08:13 PM
I hate snow....my dog doesn't like going outside to pee when it rains or snows. Plus after the cars have ran over the snow for a while and its a brown and black slush on the side of the streets it's depressing. I pray we never get any snow that sticks. Anything is possible...Obama is president elect...and a lot of you didn't think that would happen! LOLOLOLOLOL

Posted by: Snow Woman on Nov 21, 2008 at 06:26 PM
I am from Ohio and we have a lot of snow every year. I have been reading all your comments and it makes me feel so good to know you all have the same feelings about something so beautiful. I wish each of you a very WHITE WINTER including Christmas. "Please God let it snow on North Carolina" :0)

Posted by: Anonymous on Nov 21, 2008 at 05:57 PM
ALPHA female...supports Obama...oh brother...that says it all. Remember Bush is still in office and has a few tricks up his sleeve

Hey ALPHA female: quit drinking the Kool-Aid. You fools got the empty suit elected. Better hang on now for disaster. I promise you he will make it happen.

Posted by: Anonymous on Nov 21, 2008 at 04:47 PM
Obama made the snow? I guess he really IS the messiah for some of you *brilliant* people. Really, could you try to be a little more intelligent?? I thank GOD for snow, it was beautiful!

Posted by: ~ALPHA female~ Location: O84P on Nov 21, 2008 at 03:07 PM
Obama has brought change already. People blame him for ever thing bad they think might happen, so I praise him for the beautiful snow. Nice job Obama...change already! I like it! ~singing~ Go Obama it's your birthday...go Obama it's your birthday!

Posted by: Crystal Location: Plymouth on Nov 21, 2008 at 01:18 PM
It snowed at our house this morning here in Plymouth and it was beautiful!!! I love snow!!! Hopefully this means that we will be able to get more snow during the winter months.

Posted by: Angel Location: Wiindsor, NC on Nov 21, 2008 at 12:52 PM
I think the snow was beautiful...Like something that should be on the front of a christmas card, I just wish itwould have stuck, I am dreaming of a white christmas, just hope it turns out that way!

Posted by: T Location: NC on Nov 21, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Wouldn't a white Christmas be wonderful?!!!

Sure looks nice for a change.

Posted by: Brian Location: windsor on Nov 21, 2008 at 12:07 PM
When I woke up in Windsor the snow was amazing. The flakes were about the size of a quarter and was accumulating on the deck and cars. It was fun watching the flakes fall so early in the year!!!!

Posted by: Nana Location: Southern Pitt on Nov 21, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Canuck, those of us who were in Eastern NC in the 80's and 90's got more than our share of driving in winter weather - not just snow, but snow and ice, which as I'm sure you know, is more treacherous to drive in than snow alone. But like NC Resident said, we haven't seen much in recent years, so let us have our fun....We'll be careful!

Posted by: Janelle Location: Belhaven on Nov 21, 2008 at 11:44 AM
It was snowing when I wole up at 6:15, and it just stopped snowing in Belhaven. It was coming down in huge flakes, and has put a hefty dusting on our deck, yard, and car. My 4 year-old is amazed!

Posted by: Global Warming Location: North Pole on Nov 21, 2008 at 11:38 AM
Please, we need more heat up here, we are freezing to death, even polar bears and snuggling with eskimos. I think it was the hurricane seeds we threw out for Hannah......brrrrrrr

Posted by: F. Rosty Location: Winterville on Nov 21, 2008 at 11:36 AM
It was soooo pretty. A great sight and some excitment to help offset the bleak news we've been hearing. I think I'm like most people around here that want a good snow this year. Snow Baby Snow!

Posted by: Michelle Location: columbia. NC on Nov 21, 2008 at 11:27 AM
It started snowing in Columbia around 7:50 am. It was snowing fast and furious for about an hour and a half. Has now tapered down to barely visible tiny flakes.

Posted by: NC Resident Location: Greenville on Nov 21, 2008 at 11:22 AM
Oh Canuck! Let us have our fun! We rarely see snow--it's a treat for us! Don't be a scrooge!

Posted by: Ron Location: Merritt on Nov 21, 2008 at 11:21 AM
Golly, If something isn't done about Global Warming, we're all going to freeze to death!

Posted by: Sue Location: Washington on Nov 21, 2008 at 10:12 AM
Yay, it's snowing at Camp Leach. It snowed four days ago,but all I got to see at my home was about a dozen flakes. It has more than made up for it this morning. It's so beautiful.

Posted by: amanda Location: richlands on Nov 21, 2008 at 09:52 AM

Posted by: GoPirates Location: GVegas on Nov 21, 2008 at 09:44 AM

Posted by: Nana Location: Southern Pitt on Nov 21, 2008 at 09:38 AM
Snow still falling on Memorial Drive in Greenville. Hope this is an indication of things to come. Let it Snow!!

Posted by: Mindy Location: Bethel on Nov 21, 2008 at 09:29 AM
The snow this morning, when I got up at 7am, It was very beautiful. Makes you feel like a kids and you want to go play in it. I hope we have more to come, it's been a while since a white christmas.. My dog loved it as well, she got to run around it before I brought her back in..

Posted by: Jackie Location: LaGrange on Nov 21, 2008 at 09:21 AM
I've had a first happen to me this A.M.I heard rain falling on the roof of my mobile home,so I looked outside and to my surprise,it was also snowing.I cannot remember ever seeing that before

Posted by: transplanted canuck on Nov 21, 2008 at 09:11 AM
For those of you who want lots of snow this winter....how many of you own winter tires or have ever driven in really bad winter conditions....be careful what you wish for. While snow is pretty it can also cause a lot of grief for those not used to it.

Posted by: just moved south Location: Washington on Nov 21, 2008 at 08:59 AM
This is the first snow I have seen in two years. Remember lots of shoveling, etc. We even brought our snow blower (lol) maybe we can use it! Enjoy...got here as fast as we could.

Posted by: Feel Like A Kid Location: Greenville on Nov 21, 2008 at 08:30 AM
It's snowing!!!! Yay!!! I hope we have a white Christmas this year.

Posted by: Blog Refuter Location: NC on Nov 21, 2008 at 08:14 AM
I thought that it was if it thunder during the winter, then you can expect snow. More than half of the time, I find that to be no more than a tale, however.

Posted by: Michelle Location: Macclesfield on Nov 21, 2008 at 08:04 AM
Woke up to large flakes and a yard full of snow. Not thick granted, but definitely sticking!

Posted by: Tammy Location: Kinston on Nov 21, 2008 at 08:02 AM
Its snowing in Kinston now... I love it, I love it, I love it......

It is snowing now here in Washington, and Jim didn't even mentioned we would get any. Ha!Ha!

Posted by: Let it snow Location: NC on Nov 21, 2008 at 07:05 AM
Thier is an old wise tale that when it thunder and lighting during the cold months that it is suppose to snow 10 days from the day. Well, It did thunder and lighten not to far from this day. I hope we get more than a light dustin'. I want 6 to 20 inches lol
