The wider storm

A cold front ahead of a very cold airmass moved westward and into the Central Appalachians and Mid Atlantic through January 19. This cold front spawned areas of precipitation which transitioned to snow. Northwest flow behind the front also contributed to lingering upslope snow showers following the frontal passage in Tazewell county.
