Wider weather episode

An area of low pressure tracked east from the Ohio Valley the night of February 1 to just south of Long Island the afternoon of February 2. The close proximity of the low with arctic air to the north resulted in snow at the onset, which transitioned to a wintry mix during the morning hours before going back to snow by early afternoon. Some interior locations remained all snow. Much of southern Connecticut received 8 to 14 inches of snowfall along with up to two tenths of an inch of ice along the coast.
