Wider weather episode

The third in a series of winter storms to strike the region during the second week of February developed over north Idaho as a moist warm front during the afternoon and evening hours of February 11th. Steady light to moderate snow fell through February 12th and continued into February 13th as the warm front stalled thus providing a focusing mechanism for a continuous Pacific moisture feed into the region. This resulted in widespread heavy snow accumulations over most of north Idaho.
