What the National Weather Service wrote
A winter storm produced freezing rain and snow in Western Greenbrier county. Ice from freezing rain was reported to a thickness of 0.1 inches, while snow amounts ranged from 2 to 5 inches.
The wider storm
A strong center of high pressure over the northeastern United States wedged cold air along the east side of the Appalachian Mountains. Low pressure in the Gulf brought moisture into the region as it tracked northeast over the Carolinas and Virginia. The enhanced moisture combined with the dammed cold air created a complex winter storm that produced snow, sleet and freezing rain in southeastern West Virginia, with the upper elevations experiencing the highest impacts.
