An area of low pressure moved east across the Tennessee Valley on January 2nd. A trough extending north from this low caused snow to develop just after midnight on January 2nd. The trough moved into western Pennsylvania during the late afternoon hours of the 2nd causing the flow to become northerly off of Lake Erie. Snowfall intensities began to increase during the morning hours with visibilities dropping below a quarter mile for several hours during the afternoon and early evening hours. Snowfall rates during this time approached two inches per hour.  The snow finally tapered off during the early morning hours of January 3rd.

A peak total of 10.0 inches was reported at Girard in Erie County.  Officially 5.9 inches of snow fell at Erie International Airport.  In Crawford County, a peak total of 7.7 inches was reported west of Meadville.  Travel was difficult during this event and many accidents were reported.
