A cold front moved southeast across Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and Northern Louisiana during early morning hours of February 6th. Meanwhile, overrunning increased during the daytime hours which led to the development of scattered showers behind the front, which developed into embedded thunderstorms as upper level disturbances shifted northeast across the area enhancing large scale lift, ahead of an upper level shortwave trough which moved into the Southern Plains during the afternoon from the Four Corners region. Steep lapse rates ahead of this shortwave trough contributed to elevated instability aloft, with deep layer shear also adequate enough for some organized post-frontal thunderstorms within a cool air mass with surface temperatures in the lower 50s. As a result, a few of these storms became severe, producing numerous reports of small and large hail across portions of Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas during the afternoon hours. The strong to severe thunderstorms diminished by early evening as the post-frontal rains became more widespread across the area, thus diminishing the elevated instability.

Lake effect snow developed under a cold, northwest flow.  Initially weak multi-banded lake effect snows developed southeast of the lakes, however, by Thursday afternoon and evening, the lake effect snow organized into a singular band  as winds backed to the west and aligned with the long fetch of Lake Ontario. The lake effect intensified bringing the heaviest snows to the typical Tug Hill Plateau region through Thursday night. By Friday morning, decreasing winds allowed the band of heavy lake effect snow to retreat toward the Lake Ontario shoreline of northern Oswego and southern Jefferson County. While typical locations in the central Tug Hill picked up significant accumulations, about 15 inches, the highest totals came across the lower elevations of southern Jefferson County near Lorraine and Mannsville where about 21 inches were tallied.  Other snowfall reports included: 15 inches at Redfield; 14 inches at Copenhagen; and 10 inches at Hooker.
