Winter Storm January 16, 2022 – January 17, 2022 · Eastern Mineral, West Virginia
The wider storm
Low pressure developed over the southeastern CONUS while high pressure to the north supplied cold air to start. Precipitation started as snow, but warmer air worked its way in from the Atlantic, causing precipitation to change to ice near and east of Interstate 81. Snowfall amounts ranged from around 4 to 8 inches near Interstate 81 as well as the Potomac Highlands with totals around 8 to 12 inches in the Allegheny Highlands.
Ice accumulation from freezing rain was around one to two tenths of an inch around Interstate 81 into the Potomac Highlands.
