A deep upper trough, developing through the central U.S. and swinging into the southeast states the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, induced an area of low pressure along the eastern Gulf Coastal region. As the upper trough shifted into the eastern U.S., the surface low underwent explosive development as it moved northward along the southeast and Mid-Atlantic coastal region. The deepening surface low pulled cold air and moisture into the region bringing a period of snow to areas west of the Blue Ridge on one of the busiest travel days of the year. Snowfall amounts were generally in the one to three inch range, but several locations saw snowfall in the three to four inch range across southwest Virginia, northwest North Carolina, and southeast West Virginia. The heaviest snowfall in northwest North Carolina was observed at Beech Mountain in Watauga County, with 5.0 inches of snow. | |||
