National Weather Service Office, Newport, NC. January 29th, 2022.
Widespread light snow fell across Eastern North Carolina early on the morning of January 29th, 2022. The accumulation of snow was primarily confined to grassy surfaces, car tops, decks, and roofs with surface temperatures mainly above freezing as the snow fell. In addition once the snow stopped Saturday morning, it quickly melted in areas that saw any accumulation. A cold front moved through the area the previous night, allowing temperatures to fall overnight changing some of the rain to snow. A stronger storm developed well to our east over the ocean during this time and eventually went on to produce a blizzard across coastal sections of the Northeast. While we saw some moisture from this system, the bulk of the snowfall Saturday morning fell as a weak disturbance passed through the area. On the backside of the larger storm over the ocean, MUCH colder air filtered in Saturday, setting the stage for a very cold night Saturday night into Sunday morning. Scroll down through images and videos of the snowfall and cold weather in our area.

With surface temperatures mainly above freezing, the majority of any snow accumulation was on the usual cold spots (grassy surfaces, car tops, roofs, elevated decks, etc). This gave the appearance of a clumpy snow, on anything it stuck to as you can see from the picture below.

While the snow did not last long across our area, what followed was a period of very cold weather. Temperatures Saturday after the snow fell remained in the 30s for most of the area, outside of coastal locations. High pressure settled over the area Saturday night, and that made for some chilly air by Sunday morning. Low temperatures ranged from the mid to upper 20s on the Outer Banks to middle teens inland away from the water.
