A strong surface cold front crossed the region from west to east on January 29th. As it did so, a wave of low pressure developed along the frontal boundary over southwestern Virginia and moved northeastward to a position near Philadelphia by the evening of the 29th. This led to a rain and snow mix developing ahead of the cold front, but changing over to all snow following the frontal passage. In general, 1 to 3 inches of snow were observed across northern Virginia, with less amounts south and west.
