| Episode Narrative | An area of low pressure moved from the Mississippi coast to off the Carolina coast. At the same time another low moved through the Ohio Valley, putting southwest Virginia in the middle of the two. An area of mixed precipitation moved across the area with light to moderate accumulations. The coastal low deepened on Wednesday bringing strong damaging winds and significant upslope snow showers to the higher elevations of southwest Virginia. |
| Event Narrative | Strong northwest winds behind a strengthening coastal low caused trees and powerlines to come down. The winds were worst during the afternoon of the 10th, and the towns of Basset, Collinsville, and Horse Pasture were all impacted. A total of about 16 trees were reported down in the Horse Pasture area, with a few more large trees down in the Ridgeway area. In all, around 2900 residents lost powers at some point due to downed power lines. |
