An area of low pressure tracked eastward from the Tennessee Valley to the coast of the Carolinas, before swinging northward along the U.S. east coast. Initially, temperatures were warm enough for rain to fall, but as colder air worked its way into the area behind the departing low pressure, the precipitation changed over to snow. Late in the event, warmer air just off the surface worked its way into parts of the area resulting in a period of freezing rain across Carroll County. Snowfall amounts generally ranged from 5 to 10 inches just east of the crest of the Blue Ridge and parts of the Grayson Highlands to 10 to 16 inches across the New River Valley. Freezing rain accretion was a trace. A total of 58,000 electric customers were without power. State police reported twenty-four crashes in its Wytheville district and four in its Salem district.
