A strong warm air advection pattern developed as a weak surface low pressure tracked east from Arkansas to southwest Virginia.
After 3 to 4 inches of snow fell, the snow changed to freezing rain over the southern West Virginia coal fields.  A quarter to a half inch of ice accumulated.  However, no widespread electrical outages occurred.  Elsewhere, the precipitation stayed mainly snow, where 4 to 6 inches accumulated.
