Wider weather episode

Fast-moving system moved across the upper Ohio Valley late on the 29th through the morning of the 30th, with lake-enhanced snow bands developing immediately behind. As a result 1-3 inches of snow was reported in much of western Pennsylvania with some isolated higher amounts from the resultant lake-enhanced snow bands. In addition, upslope enhancement lead to several 4-6 inches of snow across the higher terrain of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Garrett county in Maryland.
