A wedge of cool high pressure was already in place across the mid-Atlantic states when deep low pressure entered the central Appalachians from the Tennessee Valley, bringing deep moisture from the Gulf of Mexico northward along the Appalachian chain.  The low also brought with it a layer of warm air aloft where temperatures were above freezing, while surface temperatures held below freezing.  This resulted in a complex winter storm scenario where precipitation started as snow, but soon transitioned to sleet and freezing rain.
