Some parts of central North Carolina see Christmas Day flurries
Christmas was one of the coldest days of the year in the Triangle, and some were seeing snow flurries.
Some saw flurries because of leftover moisture from a cold-front that passed overnight Friday.
That chance to see the flurries was slim.
"They move in, and just like that they are out," said WRAL meteorolgist Peta Sheerwood.
A single batch of moisture stretching from Alamance County through the Triangle and east to the Interstate 95 corridor brought some light snow showers, flurries and rain early Friday morning. In Orange and Durham counties the possibility of a flurry was greatest around dawn, when rain transitioned to a brief snow in some areas.
Johnston County saw flurries on Christmas morning, and some resident even could catch snow flakes.
Christmas Day was nice and chilly, with temperatures falling toward the freezing mark. Flurries were possible throughout the entire day, Sheerwood said.
The Christmas Day chance for flurries is in contrast with the western part of the state, where residents and holiday visitors woke to a white Christmas.
The cold front that brought central North Carolina's chill dropped some snow in the North Carolina mountains on the night of Christmas Eve. Homes, decorated with lights and Christmas cheer, were also lined in a blanket of white.
