Episodes
A major winter storm impacted the Mid-Atlantic Region on the 8th and 9th. A coastal low pressure storm developed off the southeast coast, meanwhile a strong upper-level storm moved from the Ohio Valley to the Eastern Great Lakes. All this combined to generate a swath of moderate to heavy snowfall across a portion of the area, with some accumulations of ice as well in the Central Shenandoah Valley, where there were some power disruptions. Storm total snowfall ranged between 4 to 9 inches across the heavy snow area. 3 fatalities occurred (indirect) as a result of this storm system in traffic related accidents, all occurring in Maryland.
