Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
A snow shower pattern continued into the 28th of February, thanks to several mechanisms. Lake-effect snow showers continued in areas north of I-80, where 24-hour snow totals of around three inches were observed in some locations. Low-level convergence along a weak surface trough produced some snow showers near the I-70 corridor and south, with upslope influence providing additional support for snow along the Allegheny Front. Three to six inches of accumulation was noted in many of the higher elevation areas.
