A potent Canadian storm moving south through the Northern Plains dragged a strong cold front across the region during the daytime hours of the 28th. Winds gusting to 50 miles per hour combined with falling snow and new snow accumulations of two inches to create a blizzard from the late morning across the north and into the evening across the James River Valley. Numerous no-travel advisories were issued by state and county officials as conditions deteriorated.
