| episode_narrative | A strong "Alberta Clipper", diving southeast from the upper midwest into the deep south, linked up with subtropical moisture lurking along the southeast U.S. coast to develop a classic nor'easter, which moved from northeast South Carolina to off the Virginia Capes during the day on the 16th. As the area of low pressure intensified, it wrapped Atlantic moisture well to the west, where modified arctic air was pouring in from southern Canada.Enough Atlantic moisture was lifted by the mountains to produce 4 to 5 inches of snow during a short period in the morning over the lowlands, with greater amounts in the highlands, of Pendleton Co. The snowfall continued the remarkable winter of 1995/96, bringing seasonal totals in excess of 5 feet to some areas (much greater at the highest western peaks). |
