During the afternoon of January 23rd a warm front formed over eastern Washington and North Idaho fed by a deep and favorably directed fetch of Pacific moisture. The front became stationary and produced a 36 hour long period of snow impacting the mountains and valleys of far north Idaho with heavy snow accumulations. In the central Idaho Panhandle warm air penetrated the valleys with minor accumulations of wet snow, while the mountains received heavy snow.
