| Episode Narrative | Snow showers in strong northwest winds behind a cold front produced bands of lake enhanced snow across western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, Garrett county Maryland, and eastern Ohio. The heaviest snow fell on the higher elevations of northern West Virginia, Garrett county Maryland and southwest Pennsylvania with 6 to 14 inches of snow with blowing snow reducing visibilities. A separate band of heavy snow dropped 6 to 10 inches of snow across Venango county Pennsylvania. Accumulations across the remainder of the region were from 2 to 5 inches. Also during the event snow squalls contributed to a 20 car pile-up on Interstate 80 west of Dubois. 14 passenger vehicles and 6 tractor trailers were involved, with 17 injuries. |
