Low pressure developed over southwest Kansas during the night of the 19th into the day of the 20th.  The low turned northeast through Missouri into east central Iowa by the afternoon of the 20th.  A strong surge of moisture pushed north ahead of the low with dewpoint temperatures in the 40s to low 50s.  Strong dynamics were in place with around 500 J/kg of CAPE available.  A small area of thunderstorms pushed rapidly northeast through the state producing gusty winds and hail as they passed.  Hail covered the ground in many locations.  Though marginal in size, one inch diameter hail was reported in Union County at Arispe.  The line of storms also produced hail up to quarter size as they moved through Warren and Wayne Counties.  As the line of severe thunderstorms moved through Ringgold County, very strong winds occurred.  The winds resulted in an accident to an individual working outdoors near farming equipment. While attempting to move his pickup truck to get it out of hail that was falling, a 30' conveyor belt was blown over by a wind gust, falling on him and causing his death.

Numerous areas across the Idaho Panhandle dealt with flooding during the second week of February. While minor flooding is a common occurrence during the late winter months when warmer temperatures, wind, and rain fall on valley snowpack, there was one ingredient of this event that made it unique and rather intense for many locations. This was the intrusion of two Arctic air masses; one in December and one in February. These bitterly cold air masses arrived in the absence of valley snow pack and froze the ground hard and deep. Shortly after the second Arctic air mass, snow began falling across the region with anywhere between six and twelve inches of valley snowfall. Then came an atmospheric river. This drove temperatures and dewpoints above freezing, led to windy conditions, and brought moderate to heavy rainfall. Nearly all the valley snowpack melted in a span of 24 hours.  Due to the rock hard ground, rain and snow melt could not percolate into the frozen ground equating to nearly 100 percent runoff.  This led to big problems in hilly terrain, low spots, and areas susceptible to poor drainage.

Ahead of a strong cold front, warm and moist air moved into the middle Missouri River Valley. As temperatures increased into the 80s ahead of the cold front, a strong capping inversion weakened and allowed for isolated to scattered thunderstorms to develop from western Iowa into southeast Nebraska. The thunderstorms produced isolated occurrences of severe weather in the form of large hail across parts of the area. Occasional strong thunderstorms continued overnight and into Sunday morning that continued to produce small hail. As the cold air rushed into the area the rain changed to snow over parts of eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. Some of the snow in northeast Nebraska was heaving leading to significant accumulations by Sunday evening.

A strong north to south temperature gradient existed in the Ohio Valley as a cold front gradually sank south.  The front reached into northeast Kentucky around dawn on the 2nd.  Strong dynamics associated with a strengthening wind speed maximum in the flow well above the ground, lead to waves along the front.  Each wave enhanced the precipitation and helped push the surface front further south.
Rain changed to freezing rain across northeast Kentucky during the evening hours.  The ice accretion from freezing rain was mostly around a tenth of an inch.  Yet, the cooperative observer near Warnock in Greenup County reported a quarter inch of ice.  The wintry mixture changed to snow during the 2100E on the 2nd to 0100E on the 3rd.
The last and main wave on the front enhanced the snow during the predawn hours on the 3rd.
The end result was a widespread snow accumulation of 3 to 6 inches in less than 12 hours.  The quick drop in temperature after the initial rain and freezing rain, made it difficult to remove the accumulating snow from roadways.  Readings dropped from the 30s into the teens during this storm.
In the wake of the storm, a clear sky allowed temperatures to drop mostly into the single digits for dawn on the 4th.  Yet, the cold spot was Olive Hill with 3 below zero.
