The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.
A long-lived storm system responsible for floods and heavy snows across California earlier in the week moved across the county reaching the lower Mississippi valley on Saturday, January 19th and just south of New England on Sunday the 20th. Snow began during the afternoon of the 19th and ended by early afternoon on the 20th with snow accumulations of 8 to 16+ inches. Winds developed and increased to 10 to 20 mph with gusts in excess of 30 mph late Sunday through Monday causing considerable blowing and drifting of the snow.
Very cold temperatures were experienced Saturday through Monday as well. Daytime highs -5 to +10 with overnight lows 10 to 25 below zero. Strong winds late Sunday through Monday created wind chills of 20 to 40 below zero.
The combination of all these factors created hazardous travel through Tuesday as the very cold temperatures prohibited road chemicals to work effectively.
