An area of strong low pressure moved up the Ohio Valley on December 12th.  This low shifted to New England by early on the 13th.  Cold north to northwest winds behind this low caused lake effect snow showers to develop over northwestern Pennsylvania during the afternoon hours of December 12th.  The snow activity intensified on December 13th with periods of moderate to heavy snow during the morning and afternoon hours.  Northwest winds gusted to as much as 30 mph on the 13th.  The strong winds and snow combined to create near zero visibilities and considerable blowing and drifting.  Snowfall rates with the heaviest bands approached two inches per hour.  The lake effect activity lessened during the late evening hours of the 13th and early morning hours of the 14th.  The activity picked up again during the morning of the 14th over inland Erie County and the northern half of Crawford County.  The lake effect activity began to diminish late on the 14th and finally ended around midday on the 15th.  In Erie County, a peak of 25.0 inches was reported in Amity Township with most of this total falling on the 14th.  In Crawford County, 24.0 inches was reported northeast of Blooming Valley with 23.5 inches at Meadville and 22.2 inches near Canadohta Lake.
