A clipper low pressure system passed north of the Great Lakes, bringing light snow and windy conditions to much of southeast Michigan.  Snowfall amounts were only around an inch or less.  However, the snow and blowing snow quickly melted and then refroze on area roads, producing unusually dangerous driving conditions.  The morning commute became a serious mess, with dozens of accidents.  An Ypsilanti man was killed, and another injured, when their car slid off a road and overturned.  Two serious injuries resulted from a rear-end collision near Kinde in Huron County.  Interstate 75 and US 23 in Monroe County both suffered long backups, as tractor-trailers were unable to gain enough traction to move.  Several school districts in Monroe County were forced to cancel classes.This would prove to be just the opening act in a month-long onslaught of winter weather.

A mix of sleet, freezing rain and snow spread across east central Ohio during the day on the 13th.  By late afternoon on the 13th, the snow turned over to sleet in many areas, with several counties reporting sleet accumulations of up to one inch.  Finally, by the evening hours of the 13th the precipitation had turned over to freezing rain across all of east-central Ohio.  Every county across the area reported ice accumulations of one-quarter to one-half inch by the late evening hours on the 13th.

An invasion of arctic air occurred on December 12. The arctic air became permanently entrenched over the region for the remainder of the month, resulting in the coldest December on record at Paducah, KY. The average monthly temperature of 25.9 degrees was 11.4 below normal. On the coldest day of the month, the 17th, the high was 17 and the low was 6. Unusually high energy prices, combined with the record cold, caused homeless shelters to fill to capacity. The usual problems associated with frigid temperatures, such as frozen pipes and water main breaks, were common during the latter half of the month. A combination of heavy ice and low water conditions on the Mississippi River prompted the Coast Guard to restrict barge traffic north of Cairo, IL. Low water led to the grounding of 15 loaded coal barges about 10 miles north of Cape Girardeau.

Location: EADS
Tornado F-scale: F0
Reported by: STORM CHASER

A long lasting supercell moved south across Kiowa, Bent, Prowers, and Baca counties over a three and a half hour time frame.  The main damage was caused by high winds and large hail.  The majority of the damage was around the mesocyclone, which tracked across central Kiowa, eastern Bent, and western Baca counties.  From time to time, the mesocyclone produced brief tornadoes.  Tornado paths were not found during a damage survey, owing to the lack of trees, crops, fence line, and roads.  Photographic evidence and eyewitness accounts of the tornadoes was helpful in estimating the path lengths and size of the tornadoes.  The first reported tornado was short-lived and over open country of north-central Kiowa county and caused no known damage.
