The wider storm

Precipitation associated with a strong upper level disturbance and associated strong cold front changed to snow at the highest peaks and ridge tops by early Halloween evening, with snow levels dropping rapidly to the valley floors by the end of the evening as an arctic air mass infiltrated the region behind the front. Snowfall accumulation by midnight was mainly confined to the high elevations, although the snow continued into the morning of the 1st.
