GASTON COUNTY, N.C. —

Heavy snow fall in Gaston County led to dozens of accidents Saturday. Some said they hadn’t seen that much snow in a while.

“I was definitely surprised. I wasn't expecting this at all today," said Yolanda Neely.

Eyewitness News captured video of snow pounding roadways.  The snow was so heavy it made visibility

very low at times.  Emergency workers said one person died during the storm, when they were hit by a car near Highway 321 and Community Road in Gaston County.

Highway Patrolmen said they were gearing up for the possibility of black ice and warned drivers to stay off the road.
