Stormtracker05 is correct, generally a large powerful low pressure system, formerly a tropical storm before making landfall however it got absorbed by a very strong cold front the "extra-tropical low within 4 days re-arranged the frontal system causing to occlude in a cold pool both at ground level and aloft the result was a wide variaty of weather some snow was being reported 85 miles SSW of low pressure center, while 60 miles to your ESE was getting thunderstorms with hail.

@stormtracker05 Thanks, I never knew it had a term! This was one wicked storm, to say the least. You seem to know quite a lot about weather. Are you going to college for it or did you learn on your own?
