NC-Tennessee mountains get 6 inches of May snow
Higher elevations of the Great Smoky Mountains, including Mt. LeConte, saw about half a foot of snow during a rare May snowfall.
Temperatures started to fall below freezing Friday evening and sleet became snow, according to the National Weather Service.
The rest of North Carolina won’t see any of the white stuff, though, with highs expected in the mid 60s to 70s this week and lows in the 40s and 50s.
Yes folks. May 6. North Carolina mountain road closed for snow and ice. https://t.co/Z0CJ7vCYdl
