The wider storm
A surface low pressure system passed from the Great Plains into the Northeast Feb. 10th to 12th and continued to deepen as a upper level trough amplified over the Midwest. Cold air was already instilled across PA/WV/MD/OH region; supporting a snow changing to freezing rain then changing to rain set up. A swath of moisture that extended across the Appalachian Mountains helped support high amounts of ice accumulation.

One gust of 63 MPH was observed at a sensor east of Canaan Heights on the morning of February 13th.
