Hurricane Sandy moved north off the Atlantic Coast and combined with a complex low pressure system and deepening trough over the eastern part of the U.S., and then turned west northwest and into New Jersey into Pennsylvania, slowing down and then drifting north. It produced an expansive area of high impact weather as it approached the coast and moved inland. Strong winds and heavy snowfall were the biggest impacts on southeastern West Virginia, northwestern North Carolina and extreme southwestern Virginia, lasting for 24-48 hours. One to two feet of snow with significant drifting was observed in the higher elevations, with a sharp reduction to little or no accumulation in the valleys. Winds gusted into the 50-60 mph range.
