The first major winter storm of the season produced heavy snow across the Coastal Plain of North Carolina on the afternoon of December 3. A low pressure system developed off the coast and quickly moved northeast, preventing the snowfall from moving west of Raleigh. Most locations along and east of I-95 received between 4 and 8 inches, with some locations in Edgecombe county recording nearly a foot of snow. The snow created hazardous driving conditions, leading to numerous accidents and several road closures.  Many county schools were either closed or delayed the next day or two.

A powerful early winter storm developed in the Rockies and tracked through southern Missouri and Illinois late on Sunday the 10th through the Monday the 11th.  The snow began late Sunday night and continued through Monday night.  Storm totals of 8 to 11 inches were common over much of eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois, with 5 to 8 inch amounts to the south in far southeast Iowa, northeast Missouri, and west central Illinois.  The strong low pressure center produced wind gusts up to 40 miles an hour Monday afternoon and night, which created near blizzard conditions and drifted many area roads shut.  Many road crews across the area were pulled Monday afternoon and night, before returning to the job early Tuesday.  An accident in Hancock county Monday claimed one life after a vehicle slid into oncoming traffic.  Otherwise, there were surprisingly few accidents involving injuries reported by area law enforcement.  Road crews reported very light traffic Monday.  An eastern Iowa resident suffered a heart attack after shoveling snow Monday.  Area hospitals also treated many people suffering from hypothermia, chest pains, and injuries from falling on the ice.  Most area schools were closed both Monday and Tuesday, and many businesses closed early Monday.  Temperatures dropped into the single digits Monday night into Tuesday, as wind chills dipped to 20 to 40 below zero.  The dangerously cold conditions continued Tuesday as snow removal efforts continued.  Law enforcement reported a number of accidents on Tuesday as traffic picked up.

Yet another Alberta Clipper storm chugged into the upper Midwest during the early morning hours of 12/20, this time tracking from the high Plains into Minnesota and Wisconsin.  The system brought periods of heavy snow to the area.  The snow began in east central and northeast Iowa around sunrise, and then spread south and east through the morning hours.  The heaviest amounts of 4 to 5 inches fell to the north, in parts of eastern Iowa and far northwest Illinois, with only 1 to 3 inch amounts in Clark and Scotland counties.  The snow had tapered to flurries by midnight.  As low pressure headed off to the northeast, a northwest wind picked up to 20 to 30 miles an hour during the overnight, and produced bitterly cold wind chills of 30 to 45 below zero, as actual temperatures dropped into the single digits.  Blowing and drifting snow continued into the day on 12/21.

A complex storm system moving up the Ohio Valley on the 13th reformed off the mid Atlantic coast on the morning of the 14th.  The storm then moved northeast up the coast the remainder of the 14th and on the 15th.  Snow moved into most of central New York near the end of the 13th.  In Sullivan County, the snow mixed with sleet and freezing rain early on the 14th before changing to mostly freezing rain around 4 AM.  Snow and sleet amounts were up to 3 inches before one quarter to one half inch of freezing rain fell.  The freezing rain moved east of the area by 10 AM.  Across Onondaga and Oneida Counties, precipitation stayed as snow with 5 to 8 inches of accumulation.  The snow was moderate to heavy in Onondaga and Oneida Counties between 2 and 6 AM, before ending by 10 AM.  The greatest amounts of snow were in north central and northeast Oneida County in the southern part of the Tug Hill Plateau.

December 2000 was notable for the record cold conditions across the upper midwest.  Much of the month was characterized by a persistent northwest flow pattern, which produced repeated significant outbreaks of bitterly cold Arctic air.  National Weather Service records indicate the average temperature for December at the Burlington Iowa Airport was only 13.1 degrees, well below the normal of 26.8.  The extreme cold temperatures combined with occasional high winds to produce dangerous wind chills to 50 below zero.

A coastal storm formed off the mid Atlantic coast late on the morning of the 19th.  Snow moved north well ahead of the storm into northeast Pennsylvania also on the morning of the 19th.  The storm was off the New England coast on the morning of the 20th.  A narrow band of moderate snow set up across these counties the afternoon of the 19th and continued to around midnight.  Snowfall amounts were 4 to 7 inches.  To the east of these counties, closer to the coast the warmer air kept snow amounts lower.

A mix of sleet, freezing rain and snow spread across western Pennsylvania 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 western Pennsylvania.  Every county across the area reported ice accumulations of one-quarter to one-half inch by the late evening hours on the 13th.  Numerous accidents were reported on area highways as the freezing rain coated roadways.  Various stretches of heavily-traveled Route 30 were closed in Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties during the evening due to the accidents.  Overnight, the freezing precipitation gradually turned over to rain.  However, even by the early morning hours of the 14th a few pockets of freezing drizzle were still being reported as cold air remained trapped in some of the valleys.

A cold front moved through the region and caused sustained winds of 35 to 45 mph with some gusts to near 60 mph.  The winds lasted for two to four hours before decreasing again.   It also brought three to seven inches of snow to the northern Black Hills, with one to three inches to the northern Foothills.  The northern Black Hills and Foothills had strong winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 45 mph which caused near blizzard conditions at times.

Heavy snow, accompanied by northeast to north winds gusting to around 30 mph, affected all of south-central and parts of southeast Wisconsin. This system was the first in a series of winter disturbances that accumulatively would lead to new, monthly snowfall records for  December, and new record snow depths at any one time.  Accumulations were generally 7 to 10 inches, although a band of 10 to 11 inches was found from northwest Dane County to south-central Columbia County, and across the southern parts of Green, Rock, and Walworth Counties. The greatest reported value was 11.1 inches in Delavan (Walworth Co.).  Lesser amounts (7 to 9 inches) were noted in Dodge and Jefferson Counties. Dozens of vehicle accidents resulted due to slippery roads and blowing snow.  The fresh snowcover, combined with clear skies during the early morning hours of the 12th, resulted in a new record low of -10 at Janesville (Rock Co.).  However, other parts of the Janesville area dropped to -17 and every other location in south-central Wisconsin sunk to the -10 to -15 range for morning lows.Synoptically, a surface low moved from central Colorado Sunday night December 10th, to north of Dallas, TX, by the end of the 10th, to east-cental Illinois by noon CST on the 11th, and then to near Toledo, Ohio by 2100CST. Strong upper level forcing due to a coupled jet structure over Wisconsin, along with strong mid-level differential positive vorticity advection, led to significant upward vertical motions over southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, thus deepening and slowing the surface low.This system produced a heavy band of snow, ranging from 8 to 12 inches, across northeast Iowa, extreme northern Illinois, and southern Wisconsin. As the surface low moved into western Indiana, gusty northeast winds to 30 knots, in the northwest quadrant of the circulation around the low, drew moisture from Lake Michigan. This enhanced the snowfall in the counties adjoining the lake from north of Chicago, to northern Milwaukee county. Snowfall totals in these lakeshore locations were between 12 and 15 inches.
