Lincolnton and Hickory receive largest snow fall during winter storm

Lincolnton and Hickory saw about 6 inches of snow during the weekend storm.

Both had some of the largest snow totals in the Charlotte area.

North Carolina Department of Transportation crews said they didn’t see many problems on the roads in those areas.

They said sunshine helped melt the snow faster and that made it easier to plow and lay down salt.

They said that would make the roads safer during the low temperatures expected Sunday morning.
