The last time Wilmington experienced snow to this degree was in December of 1989, when 15 inches blanketed the region near Christmas.
“We hope power outages are a smaller part of the story,” Stein said Thursday, referring to last weekend’s ice storm, which Duke Energy reportedly restored power to 150,000 properties statewide.
“I fully anticipate families to be impacted a few days as cold temperatures could make the snow stick around,” Stein said.
