D2 severe drought continued across the county.
A three day period of snowfall impacted all of northwestern Connecticut between February 7th and 9th, 2015.
The snowfall began on the late morning of Saturday, February 7th, as an Arctic cold front dropped south across the region. Light steady snow fell into the early afternoon hours before tapering off as the front drifted south of the area. Just a coating of snow fell in most areas.
With the frontal boundary stalled just south of the region for Saturday night, a weak disturbance moving along the boundary allowed for some additional snowfall between Saturday night into the early morning of Sunday, February 8th. An additional coating to an inch or two fell across the region.
After a lull in the snowfall for Sunday morning, a steadier and heavier snowfall developed for late Sunday afternoon into Sunday night, as a stronger wave of low pressure moved along the frontal boundary. This snowfall continued through the day Monday, February 9th as the wave of low pressure passed south of the region across the mid-Atlantic states. Snowfall tapered off between late Monday afternoon into Monday evening.
By the time all of the snow ended, amounts ranged between 6 and 13 inches across the area, with the heaviest amounts in the higher terrain of northern Litchfield County.

Reported by: Trained Spotter
A significant Arctic cold front was moving through the region.  This was the first in a series of Arctic cold fronts to move through the region during the mid and later part of February keeping the forecast area in the deep freeze most of the remainder of the month.  Following the front, a notable period of upslope snow showers brought snowfall of 1 to 4 inches across the mountains of southeastern West Virginia.  In addition, remnant moisture from rainfall preceding the Arctic front froze quickly (flash freeze) following the passage of the Arctic front as temperatures plunged down into the teens and lower 20s.  The combination of this ice and subsequent snowfall resulted in several traffic accidents across Mercer county.
Here are snowfall amounts reported from southeast West Virginia occurring with this event:
Greenbrier County - 1.0 inch at White Sulphur Springs to 4.0 inches at
Rainelle and Quinwood,
Mercer County - 2.0 inches at Bluefield,
Summer County - 4.0 inches at Hinton.

Just south of the surface front, a few discrete thunderstorms cells formed ahead of the main cluster of convection.  These cells moved into southwest Virginia during the evening hours.

In addition, gusty northwest winds continued into the morning and lowest hourly wind chill factors reached between zero and 10 degrees below zero throughout the state.
Actual low temperatures included 7 degrees in Hockessin (New Castle County), 8 degrees at the New Castle County Airport, 9 degrees in Smyrna (Kent County) and Ellendale (Sussex County), 10 degrees in Dover (Kent County) and 11 degrees in Georgetown (Sussex County) and Rehoboth Beach (Sussex County).

As the arctic high pressure system entered the United States near Montana, its surface pressure was quite high: 1058 millibars at 4 a.m. EST on January 7th.

This reduced the wind and also brought the region a relatively warmer return flow from the southwest on the night of the 8th.
