Additional notes

A low pressure system took shape across the southern Plains during
the evening of January 26. Ahead of the low, a broad shield of mixed
precipitation began to move into the Tri-State area on Monday night.
Precipitation at the onset was primarily snow. Sleet and freezing rain
began to mix in with the snow overnight, especially along and south of
the Ohio River.
On Tuesday January 27, a brief break in the precipitation north of the
Ohio River took place with sleet and freezing rain continuing for
northern Kentucky and south-central Ohio. As the low moved into the
Tennessee Valley, the precipitation shield expanded northward into
southeast Indiana and central Ohio. Tuesday afternoon, a warm wedge of
air aloft began to surge northward into southwest Ohio and even into
central Ohio by the evening hours. This brought sleet and freezing rain,
with significant ice accumulations to these areas. Meanwhile,
west-central Ohio and eastern Indiana began to report significant
snowfall accumulations.
As the low finally moved along the Ohio River and into the Northeast
early on Wednesday January 28, mixed precipitation turned over to a
final burst of moderate to heavy snow across the region. Overall, this
winter storm had significant impacts across the region. There were
widespread power outages reported across northern Kentucky, along the
Ohio River, and into south-central Ohio with snow and ice covered roads
impacting travel across the Ohio Valley.
