A fast moving wave of low pressure tracked northeastward off the Atlantic coast on February 7. The low steadily intensified as it gained latitude, and a sizeable shield of banded precipitation developed in its northwest quadrant. This resulted in a fairly short duration period of precipitation over the eastern mid-Atlantic, but with precipitation rates that were moderate to heavy at times. The storm produced a wide swath of several inches of snow, with considerable local variations in the snow totals. The variations were due to both distinct banding features as well as marginally cold temperatures especially near the coast, which caused precipitation to start as rain in some areas. The storm departed the region by the late afternoon of February 7 after producing a general 4 to 8 inches of snow, with some localized totals that were a little higher.
