Event narrative

A 24-hour total of 3 inches was reported 2 miles northwest of Donegal.

Wider weather episode

A snow shower pattern continued into the 28th of February, thanks to several mechanisms. Lake-effect snow showers continued in areas north of I-80, where 24-hour snow totals of around three inches were observed in some locations. Low-level convergence along a weak surface trough produced some snow showers near the I-70 corridor and south, with upslope influence providing additional support for snow along the Allegheny Front. Three to six inches of accumulation was noted in many of the higher elevation areas.
