A low pressure system developed near the gulf coast on February 4th and tracked northeast through the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys to near Pittsburgh by the morning of February 5th. As this system tracked northeast it brought heavy snow to northwest Pennsylvania. The heaviest snow occurred closer to Lake Erie with reports of 7-12 inches.  Snowfall totals decreased towards Crawford County where snowfall averaged closer to 6 inches with up to a tenth of an inch of icing as precipitation mixed with freezing rain and sleet on the morning of the 5th. Temperatures were in the mid 20s when the mixed precipitation occurred on the morning of the 5th allowing slick conditions to develop quickly. Northeast winds shifted to the northwest by the afternoon of the 5th with speeds increasing to 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 25 mph inland and as high as 37 mph near Lake Erie.  The combination of falling snow and strong winds caused periods of near white out conditions near Erie on the morning of the 5th.  The snow tapered off from west to east during the afternoon of the 5th.
