Late on the 16th, a low pressure storm system passed east across the Tennessee Valley, while strong high pressure was located over the Great Lakes and southern Ontario.  In some counties, the precipitation started as a brief period of sleet and rain before changing to wet snow.  The snow diminished during the predawn hours on the 17th.  Snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches fell across the lowland counties, with a lowland maximum around 7 to 8 inches in parts of Roane County on northeast into Braxton and Lewis Counties.  In the central mountain counties, 5 to 9 inches of snow accumulation was common.   A few specific sites from cooperative observers included 8 inches at French Creek.  Spencer, Weston, and Bartow all observed with 7 inches. An unofficial report of around 10 to 12 inches was received from the Whitmer vicinity in eastern Randolph Coonty.
Further south, much less snow fell, with only an inch or less observed around Fayetteville, Oak Hill, and Beckley.
Even in the heavier snow areas, most roads remained just wet for the first several hours of the storm, then became slushy during the night.
