| Episode Narrative | An area of low pressure over the Lower Mississippi River Valley moved up the Appalachians on February 1st. Warmer temperatures aloft combined with subfreezing temperatures at the surface to produce widespread freezing rain across the Mid Atlantic. A quarter of an inch of ice was reported across the eastern pan handle of West Virginia. Numerous traffic accidents and power outages were reported across the region. Rain continued as warmer temperatures slowly filtered across the region. Up to an inch of rain was reported in Berkeley County during the afternoon and evening. |
| Event Narrative | Newspaper clippings reported widespread damage across Pendleton County due to the ice. A trained spotter measured two tenths of an inch of ice in Franklin, WV. |
