Event Summary
The first widespread accumulating snow since January 2022 impacted the region from late Sunday, January 14th, through the morning of Tuesday, January 16th. An arctic front would cross through the region on Sunday morning, with a narrow band of snow for some portions of the area that produced 1-3" of snow, with localized higher amounts. The front would settle slightly south of the region by late Sunday, then remain nearly stationary into Tuesday morning, with several weak waves riding up over the front. This resulted in periods of light to moderate snow across the region into Tuesday morning. A general 2-6" of snow fell across the lowlands south of the Ohio River, with some localized higher amounts. Snow accumulations of 5-10" were reported across the mountains. Following the snow, very cold temperatures were observed along with breezy winds sending wind chills below zero in many locations on the morning of Wednesday, January 17th.
