The wider storm

The combination of Arctic high pressure ridging into the Mid Atlantic region, and weak low pressure areas tracking across the Carolinas and off the Mid Atlantic coast, resulted in significant ice accretion between 0.25 inch and 0.50 inch due to freezing rain across much of central and south central Virginia, and the Virginia northern neck. Numerous trees and power lines were downed, with widespread power outages reported due to the ice accretion.
