OBX Snow!
Snow affected the northern portions of the Outer Banks on Friday, making the tan colored sands of the North Carolina coast look more like the dazzlingly sugar white sands of Northwest Florida and Alabama.
Some snowfall amounts from eastern North Carolina included:
…3 inches at Nags Head
…3.5 inches at Kill Devil Hills
…1 inch at Duck
Winter storm warnings were in effect for the Outer Banks, something you don’t see every day!
The precipitation started out as light snow at Hatteras, but it quickly changed over to rain with temperatures in the middle 30s.
Historically, Cape Hatteras has seen several big snows, including a couple of 7 inch storms and their all time record, 11 inches, which occurred on December 30th in 1917.
