Wilmington, NC, saw unexpected heavy snowfall this winter

news.yahoo.com

Wilmington, North Carolina, has received more snow this winter than Asheville and Charlotte, surprising many. Wilmington's snowfall was higher due to weather systems moving east, which brought snow to areas that typically see little. Asheville, at a higher elevation, had only two days of measurable snowfall this winter, while Wilmington experienced significant accumulation. This winter's snowfall is unusual, but Wilmington has outpaced Asheville in snow five times since 1945. The recent weather patterns have ended a long snow drought in parts of North Carolina. However, the likelihood of more snow in Wilmington is low, as March typically sees few snow events in the area.
