The wider storm

An arctic front had become established over the Panhandle on 11/27 & 11/28. At the same time a storm force low developed well southwest of the Panhandle and moved rapidly toward the out coast while developing. The result was a radical pattern shift with a 964 MB storm off the coast con 11/29 that brought warm moist air over the arctic front while also causing high wind. Trees came down and snow was hard to remove, but no significant damage was reported.
