Wider weather episode

After the significant snowfall that fell across the mountains on the morning of the 24th, an area of low pressure moving along the Gulf Coast spread yet another round of snow across the southern Appalachians and adjacent foothills during the evening of the 25th. The snow was heavy at times, and quickly accumulated, although occasional mixed rain undercut the totals a bit. Heavy accumulations were reported in many areas by late evening. By the time the snow tapered off during the early morning of the 26th, total accumulations ranged from 2 to 6 inches.
