What happened

Heavy snowfall set up at elevations above 1000 feet with amounts between 7 and 14 inches common. Lower snowfall amounts (1 to 6 inches) occurred in the lower elevations due to some rain mixing in. This snowfall resulted in snow covered and slippery roads impacting Thanksgiving travel.
