After a day of near record warmth, low pressure moving from the mid Atlantic states to just south of Nantucket brought colder air into southern New Hampshire.  As the colder air arrived late at night, rain changed to wet snow and accumulated 4 to 8 inches in the higher elevations of northern Cheshire and Hillsborough Counties.   Locations closer to the Massachusetts border, including Nashua, only received 1 to 4 inches since the changeover to snow occurred closer to sunrise on the 17th.   Some snowfall totals include 8 inches in Hillsborough, 7 inches in Walpole, 5 inches in Jaffrey, and 3 inches in Nashua and Merrimack.

Tornado in FULTON, ARKANSAS
From 03-JAN-00 06:55:00 to 03-JAN-00 07:00:00 (CST)
Location: FRYATT
Tornado F-scale: F1
Reported by: NWS STORM SURVEY

A weak tornado was spawned in northeastern Fulton County about 0.3 mile west-southwest of Fryatt.  The tornado moved northeast and downed hundreds of trees, mostly along Arkansas Highway 9.  One house was badly damaged by falling trees.  A barn roof was also blown off, and some outbuildings were damaged as well.  The tornado dissipated about 2.8 miles east-northeast of Fryatt.
Low pressure moving eastward from southern Quebec intensified near Nova Scotia, then slowly moved northeastward as high pressure moved eastward from south-central Canada.  The pressure gradient between the low and high caused strong, northerly winds to develop over the area bringing in cold air from Canada.  The combination of the wind and cold air produced extreme wind chill temperatures across the state.  Wind chill temperatures dipped to between -40 and -55 across the state.

Tornado F-scale: F3

Reported by: NWS STORM SURVEY

The tornado first touched down near the community of Rome,  just southwest of Owensboro, and entered the city near the southern boundary of Owensboro Airport. The tornado tracked northeast through the heart of Owensboro before dissipating on the east side of town. Peak winds were estimated at 180 MPH. Since the tornado path was mostly through densely populated residential and commercial areas, damage was in the tens of millions, but injuries were surprisingly few. Of the 18 injuries, one was critical, and the rest were relatively minor. The critically injured person was in a home near the beginning of the damage path. This person sustained broken vertebrae and numerous cuts and bruises. Owensboro landmarks  heavily damaged by the tornado included Apollo High School, Kentucky Wesleyan College, and the Winn-Dixie Store.  Damage to the 12 buildings at Kentucky Wesleyan College was estimated to be near 5 million dollars. Small to mid size automobiles were tossed about by the wind. Damage to utility lines was extensive, and repairs took about 10 days to complete. Final damage tallies showed about 1200 homes and businesses sustained damage. Of those 1200 structures, 101 were totally destroyed and 573 sustained major damage. Owensboro was declared a federal disaster area. An emergency shelter accomodated roughly 150 persons, including many from local nursing homes. Owensboro schools were closed for a week.
