Wider weather episode

Light freezing rain occurred within a scenario where cold air damming was taking place across the area, all while relatively warmer moisture aloft in association with a coastal low was progressing across the region. The result was a light rain that froze upon contact and produced ice accretion mainly between a trace and one-tenth of an inch. Much of the ice accretion was focused along the border with Virginia.
