Winter Storm Event

Snow, Ice, Wind Started: February 10, 1983 at 12 am EST Ended: February 11, 1983 at 12 am EST
The second winter storm within a week spread heavy snows over western sections of the state and produced gale-force winds along the coast. Minor beach erosion and flooding occurred along Hatteras Island north of Avon and resulted in minor overwash of Highway 12. The snow, which changed to freezing rain, caused isolated power outages and numerous traffic accidents. Snowfall amounts include 14 inches in Ashe County and Wilkes County with lesser amounts in surrounding counties. Damage estimates, though considered light, were unattainable.
