A low pressure system tracked northeast from the Gulf Coast up the west side of the Appalachians on Monday night bringing the first heavy synoptic snow of the season to northeast Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania. Light snow spread north across the area ahead of the system between 9 pm and midnight. The snow intensified overnight as the low approached Pittsburgh with a heavy wet snow falling in an arc from Canton to Youngstown to Meadville.
Note the intense returns on the radar image to the right located between Pittsburgh and Youngstown. This does not signify the heaviest snowfall, it shows a phenomena called bright banding which indicates where mixed precipitation is occurring. Bright Banding depicts the freezing level in the cloud where ice particles are coated with liquid water. The particles reflect significantly better than the portions of the cloud above and below the freezing layer. It is the area just to the northwest of the bright banding where temperatures are slightly colder and the heaviest snow of 8 to 12 inches fell. Areas southeast of the bright-banded area received mostly rain with a little snow.
