The episode as NWS LWX wrote it up.
A low pressure system moved out of the Southern Plains and strengthened off the southeast coast February 12th through 14th, bringing accumulating wintry precipitation to much of northern Virginia beginning during the afternoon and evening hours of February 12th and continued through the early morning hours of February 14th. The heaviest precipitation occurred February 13th as the low pressure system intensified off the coast. |Snow and sleet accumulations ranged from 1 to 7 inches and ice accumulations ranged from a tenth to three quarters of an inch. This mix of sleet, snow and freezing rain created a very hard and thick layer of ice. Many snow plows were not equipped to handle such heavy precipitation, leading to longer wait times for roadways and sidewalks to be cleared. Icy road conditions lead to dozens of car accidents across the region. Schools were closed for much of the week. Several restaurants and florists reported reduced Valentines Day sales due to the hazardous road conditions.|The Washington Post reported that a 15 year old girl in Bluemont, VA., was killed when a strong wind gust sent portions of a large old tree fell. Wind gusts around the region ranged from 20 to 25 mph with gusts as high as 35 mph.

SURFACE MSAS ANALYSIS FROM 01Z SHOWS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER
NORTH TEXAS...WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING EAST INTO NORTH
CAROLINA. REGIONAL RADAR SHOWS PRECIPITATION MOVING INTO SOUTHERN
WEST VIRGINIA AND SOUTHERN VIRGINIA. THE FIRST WAVE OF ISENTROPIC
PRECIPITATION WAS EXITING THE BALTIMORE METRO. TEMPERATURES HAVE
FALLEN INTO THE 30S ACROSS THE REGION...WITH DEW POINTS IN THE TEENS
AND 20S.
TWEAKED OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS AND USING
THE 18Z ADJMAV GUIDANCE. WITH INCOMING SNOW SHOWERS...TEMPERATURES
SHOULD EASILY FALL INTO THE LOW 20S NORTH AND NEAR 30 SOUTH.
OVERNIGHT WINDS SHOULD BE RATHER LIGHT AND VARIABLE.
SURFACE TEMPERATURES TODAY WERE ABLE TO CLIMB TO NEAR 40 DEGREES...
SO SNOW SHOWERS EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WERE SLOW TO
STICK. HOWEVER...AS TEMPERATURES FALL OFF OVERNIGHT...EXPECT THAT
TO CHANGE. LOOK FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 INCHES TO ACCUMULATE ALONG AND
WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...INCLUDING NEAR CHARLOTTESVILLE. EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE...INCLUDING THE WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE METROS...
EXPECT AROUND AN INCH OF SNOW TO ACCUMULATE BY MORNING.

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
GFS AND NAM DISPLAYING VERY SIMILAR TRACKS FOR THE SFC LOW
DEVELOPING IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON. BOTH GFS AND NAM
TRACK A WEAK SFC LOW BETWEEN 1003 AND 1005 MB FROM NORTHERN TX AT
00Z TUESDAY TO EASTERN KY BY 00Z WEDNESDAY. AT 00Z WEDNESDAY BOTH
THE GFS AND NAM ALSO INDICATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COASTAL LOW
PRESSURE AREA JUST EAST OF THE NC COAST. THE GFS BEGINS
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE CWA 6 TO 9 HOURS EARLIER THAN THE NAM...AND
WILL LEAN TOWARD GFS SOLUTION BASED ON CONTINUITY. PRECIPITATION
TONIGHT WILL BE LIGHT WITH ONLY WEAK FORCING PROVIDED BY H7/H5
CONVERGENCE AS LAYER OF MOISTURE DEEPENS OVERNIGHT. BOUNDARY LAYER
TEMPERATURES WILL BE TOO WARM FOR SNOW ACROSS MOST OF CENTRAL VA AND
SOUTHERN MD...WHERE RAIN MIXED WITH SNOW AT TIMES IS EXPECTED...BUT
EVAPORATIONAL COOLING OF THE ATMOSPHERE TO THE NORTH WILL ALLOW FOR
ALL SNOW. THE NORTHERN POTOMAC HIGHLANDS WILL RECEIVE FROM 1 TO 2
INCHES OF SNOW TONIGHT WITH AROUND AN INCH FOR THE NORTHWESTERN
SUBURBS OF WASHINGTON DC AND THE NORTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEY. A TRACE
OF SNOW TO A HALF AN INCH IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT FROM NORTHEASTERN MD
SOUTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA TO AUGUSTA AND
ROCKINGHAM COUNTIES IN WEST CENTRAL VA.
AS SFC LOW PUSHES NORTHEASTWARD INTO EASTERN KY TUESDAY...SOUTHERLY
H85 JET AT 30 TO 40 KT WILL ADVECT MOIST AND WARMER AIR INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC. GFS AND NAM PROJECT A SHALLOW...COLD WEDGE OF AIR WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE REGION ROUGHLY EAST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING AND REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON
TUESDAY. OVERRUNNING SITUATION WILL CAUSE GRADUAL CHANGE TO FREEZING
RAIN ACROSS ALL OF THE CWA EXCEPT THE NORTHERN TIER OF MD AND THE
NORTHERN POTOMAC HIGHLANDS BY 00Z WEDNESDAY. GFS AND NAM POINT
TOWARD THE POSSIBILITY OF A QUARTER OF AN INCH OR MORE OF ICE
ACCUMULATION WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS OF THE
BLUE RIDGE IN CENTRAL VA ON TUESDAY. WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM
WARNING FOR ICE ACCUMULATION FOR THIS AREA.
AVIATION...
LIGHT SNOW BEGINNING AT CHO/MRB AT AROUND 02Z WILL PRODUCE MVFR
CONDITIONS THROUGH 10Z AND IFR CIGS AFTER 10Z. LIGHT SNOW WILL BEGIN
AT IAD/DCA/BWI/MTN AT AROUND 04Z...AND CIG/VSBYS WILL DROP TO MVFR
AND AREA EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE MVFR CATEGORY THROUGH 18Z.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
WINTER STORM PROVING TO BE A COMPLICATED FORECAST. WHAT A FEW DAYS
AGO HAD BEEN A SNOWSTORM WITH COLD AIR LOCKED IN PLACE OVER THE
ENTIRE AREA HAS MORPHED INTO SCENARIO WITH A WEAKER ANTICYCLONE OVER
THE NE. THAT MEANS LESS COLD AIR AND WARM AIR GETTING ADVECTED IN
THE LOW LEVELS AND THEREFORE MIXED PRECIP.
FOR THE TUE NIGHT AND WED PERIODS...THE BIG SLUG OF HEAVY PRECIP
WILL COME SW TO NE THROUGH THE REGION BETWEEN 02Z WED SW AND 10Z WED
NE. SNOW SEEMS TO BE WELL N OF OUR FORECAST AREA BY TUE NIGHT... AND
RAIN SEEMS TO BE MORE CERTAIN FOR LOWER S MD. THAT LEAVES THE REST
OF THE FORECAST AREA IN THE FREEZING RAIN...SLEET...OR RAIN.
EXPECTING FREEZING RAIN TO BE THE DOMINATE PRECIP TYPE. SLEET MAY BE
MIXED IN THE N SHEN VALLEY AND WESTERN MD. RAIN MAY BUMP FURTHER NW
INTO THE DC METRO DURING THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT. BUT AT THIS POINT
THOSE FINER POINTS OF THE FORECAST ARE STILL IN QUESTION.
PRECIP SHOULD BE MOVING OUT OF OUR SW AROUND SUNSET WED MORN...BUT
LINGER INTO THE MIDDLE DAY IN NE MD. PRECIP TYPE SHOULD REMAIN
FAIRLY CONSTANT WHILE THE STORM COMES TO A CLOSE. THERE MAY BE SOME
SNOW AT THE VERY END IN SOME PLACES AS COLD AIR COMES IN BEHIND THE
STORM... BUT NOT EXPECTING IT AND FURTHERMORE THAT SHOULD NOT BE A
THREAT EVEN IF IT DOES.
PLANNING ON A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE AREA THAT SEEMS TO HAVE
THE BEST CHC AT SIG ICE ACCUMS WITH SOME SNOW THRU WED MORN. THAT
WOULD BE WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND THE CHO AREA IN NELSON ALBEMARLE
AND AUGUSTA IN CENTRAL VA. CENTRAL AND NORTHERN SHEN VALLEY
CERTAINLY HAVE A SIG THREAT OF A BAD ICE STORM. ESP WITH THE WINDY
COLD CONDITIONS COMING IN BEHIND THE STORM TO FURTHER DESTABILIZE
ICE LOADED TREES THAT ARE EXPECTED.
FOR S MD AND KING GEORGE VA...SOME ICING THREAT IS POSSIBLE AT THIS
TIME...MAINLY TUESDAY AND EARLY TUESDAY EVENING.
FOR THE REST OF THE AREA IN BETWEEN...INCLUDING DC AND BALT
METROS... THE SIG ICING THREAT MAY MOVE EAST INTO THAT AREA... BUT
AT THIS POINT THE LINE BETWEEN A LITTLE ICING AND SIG AND DANGEROUS
ICING REMAINS ELUSIVE FOR LATE TUE AND TUE NIGHT. WILL MAINTAIN THE
WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THAT AREA FOR FURTHER MODEL RUNS TO BETTER
DEFINE.
WED PRECIP EXITS AND WINDS WILL KICK UP AS THE LOW BOMBS OUT TOWARDS
NEW ENGLAND. AFTER THAT WINDY AND COLD CONDITIONS WITH HIGHS MAINLY
IN THE 20S AND 30 THRU THE REST OF THE FORECAST. CLIPPER STILL
BRINGS THE CHC OF LIGHT SNOW DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEKEND.
MARINE...
AS THE SFC LOW APPROACHES THE AREA TONIGHT...LIGHT SOUTHEAST WINDS
WILL BACK TO THE NORTHEAST AND INCREASE TO 5 TO 10 KT BY 06Z
TUESDAY. PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY WITH SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS FOR NORTHEAST WINDS AT
15 TO 20 KT BEGINNING AT 18Z TUESDAY AND CONTINUING TUESDAY NIGHT.
SMALL CRAFT WILL EBB AND BE DISCONTINUED LATE TUE NIGHT. BUT THEN
BREEZY CONDITIONS RESUME WED AFTERNOON AFTER THE COASTAL STORM MOVES
