Wider weather episode

A wave of low pressure formed along a stationary front near Livengood helping to produce locally heavy snowfall. Cold air wrapping around the surface low helped intensify snowfall amounts as it mixed with relatively warmer, moist air from the southwest. The heavy snow was very localized around the Livengood area as the low along the front in that area dissipated fairly quickly over a 12-18 hour period.
