A low pressure area took a fairly classic path from the northeast Gulf to off the North Carolina coast between the afternoon of the 25th and the morning of the 26th.  However, the track of the low was a little further south and east than needed to bring optimal snowfall to the region.  Snowfall amounts were heaviest across the southern counties of the forecast area and especially across the North Carolina counties.  Snowfall amounts ranged from 4.0 to 8.0 inches across northwest and north central North Carolina, to 3.0 to 6.0 inches across southwest Virginia and Southside Virginia, mostly east of the Blue Ridge, to 2.0 to 3.0 inches further north across southeast West Virginia and toward the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.  The heaviest snow was nearly all south of U.S. 460 across the forecast area.
