Surface high pressure was in place over the northeastern United States during the overnight hours of February 19th. At the same time, low pressure was tracking northeastward from the south central US. Strong warm air advection and associated frontogenetical forcing led to a period of moderate to heavy snow that spread northeastward across eastern West Virginia on the morning of February 20th. As warmer air continued to move in aloft, precipitation then transitioned over to sleet and then freezing rain during the afternoon hours. By later that evening, the primary low was moving through the Great Lakes region as a secondary low moved along the Mid-Atlantic coastline. Eventually enough warm air moved into the region, changing all precipitation over to rain during the overnight hours on the 20th.
