An arctic air mass had begun to filter into central Idaho on Nov. 10 with highs only reaching near freezing in Grangeville, 26 F on 11/11 and 25 F on 11/12. Relatively mild and moist flow developed on Nov. 13 which caused overrunning snowfall to occur. Due to morning sunshine, road surface temperatures rose to above freezing causing the initial snowfall to melt and re-freeze. Dry snow fell on top of this ice layer leading to very slick conditions. Also this was the first measurable snowfall for this area for the season, which could have caught some people off-guard.

This was the first measurable snowfall for central Idaho for the 2014/2015 winter season. According to road sensors at Whitebird Grade, road temperatures were above freezing before snow began to fall after 12 pm PST. This contributed to a flash freeze scenario causing extremely slick conditions. A snow plow struck a sheriff's cruiser around 1500 PST which caused Whitebird Grade to close for several hours, opening up around 1745 PST. The Idaho State Police reported multiple semi-trucks that had jack-knifed and 2 vehicle slide-offs. These impacts, along with the fact that this was the first winter weather for the area, justified the classification as a high impact event.
