What happened

The episode as NWS PBZ wrote it up.

An area of low pressure moved across the Ohio Valley with warm moist air flowing over cold air entrenched across the region. A mix of freezing rain, some sleet and snow occurred across northwest Pennsylvania and along the ridges well east of Pittsburgh. The precipitation extended south to the higher elevations of northern West Virginia and across Garrett county in Maryland. Ice accumulations ranged from one quarter to nearly one half inch. Travel was hazardous across the region and some trees and power lines were reported down.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
