It was a wild and loud night across the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

50-plus mile an hour wind gusts and then heavy snow in addition to that wind near blizzard conditions.

At 530 this morning, near whiteout conditions.

As temperatures overnight fell from 30 down to 21, windshields fell into the single numbers.

Overnight, we've had 8 to 10 inches of snow.

Temperatures have fallen now into the low 20s.

22, the wind chill is 8 degrees, and there goes that wind.

We've had wind gusts overnight, 50 to 60 miles an hour.

Fortunately, with no freezing rain in the Carolinas, power outages across both states just under 10,000.

But that doesn't matter if you're one of them.

We just had high tide.

It came all the way up to the dune line.

We could have some coastal overwash up in Duck.

but then the winds will come offshore.

Let me take you back to Charlotte and that pileup, a hundred car pileup, massive on I-85 because of all the snow yesterday.

Get this, Charlotte officially had 11.0 inches, their biggest snowfall in 22 years, and since 1878, that's number four.

We've got tropical storm for sustained winds.

These are running about 45 miles an hour up in southern shores.

They've had five inches so far.

And through Sunday morning, we're going to pick up another four to six inches of snow.
