Abstract:

North Carolina experienced several winter storms in January 2000, but the piedmont and foothills regions were especially hard hit from a January 23-25 blizzard whose intensity was not forecast. Governor James Hunt declared a State of Emergency, and thirty-one counties were declared federal disaster areas. This article discusses the blizzard’s impact to the state’s environment, economy, and electric power.
