A bomb cyclone struck parts of North Carolina and the mid-Atlantic states bringing heavy snow, strong winds and dangerous road conditions that brought much of the region to a standstill. The storm began late Friday and continued into the weekend, with some areas receiving up to 15 inches of snow, particularly along the coast and in the Outer Banks.

The National Weather Service has called the bomb cyclone a "historic storm" and the North Carolina State Climate Office said that the amount of snow that fell on parts of the state surpassed "every other wintry event so far this century".
