Wider weather episode

Low pressure across the Tennessee Valley and the Gulf states tracked tracked north, and redeveloped and intensified rapidly off the Mid Atlantic coast. A wet snowfall occurred across Southern Connecticut, with heavy wet snow across the western half of Southern Connecticut and interior Eastern Southern Connecticut mostly away from the immediate coast. Lesser amounts were reported across southeastern portions mainly due to marginal surface temperatures which precluded higher snow amounts in some urban locations and further east.
