Before dawn on Saturday, Feb 1st, precipitation was overspreading the area from the south. Much of this early morning precipitation was snow. Warmer air moved in just off of the surface and where surface temperatures were still at or below freezing, the snow began to transition to a period of freezing rain. By mid to late morning, temperatures aloft and at the surface were warm enough to support all rain. Rain continued (intermittently across the east) until the cold front crossed and brought the colder air back into the region. Toledo had a period of rain from Noon until about 10 PM that evening. The transition to snow took place around 3 AM at Cleveland and Erie, PA. Below are the snowfall totals (either 12-hr or 24-hr totals) ending Sunday morning.
