Map features affecting the warning areas basically centered on a large complex low...988 mbs...centered north of Cold Bay.Winds on the south and west sides of the low reached warning levels around Dutch Harbor.  Blizzard conditions in blowing snow and gusty, near warning level, winds from the west were reported along the Alaska Peninsula.Moderate snowfall was reported along the back side of the low across the Pribilofs.Seven reefer vans flipped over in the yard at the City of Dutch Harbor dock.  Another five were damaged by contact with the 'flying' vans.  Wind reports likely did not catch the actual winds that caused the damage.  The Port Director, Jim Severns, reported the city dock is on the lee of a mountain.  He mentioned that during north to west winds this (sic) creates some very interesting vortices, or 'air bombs'...as they are referred to.  He also reported that container vans 'going over' are a fairly common occurrence around Dutch Harbor.181 - Visibilities frequently below 1/4 mile in heavy snow, blowing snow and reported fog at Cold Bay, with peak winds reaching 55 mph from the west between 6 and 7 pm Wednesday.185 - Gusts reached 62 mph from the northwest between 5 and 6 pm Tuesday.  Augmented reports were unavailable after 9 pm (winds still at warning levels).195 - Reported 8 inches during 24 hours at Saint Paul.

Caroline and Talbot Counties were on the northern precipitation shield of a snowstorm that affected most of the southern Middle Atlantic States. Snow began falling before dawn on the 3rd and continued into the early afternoon. Accumulations ranged from just a trace in the northern parts to around 2 inches in the southern parts of the counties. In Talbot County, schools were closed for the day. In Caroline County, the children were dismissed two hours early. Specific accumulations included 2 inches in Trappe and Federalsburg, 0.8 inches in Easton and a trace in Denton. The low pressure system responsible for the snow developed in the Gulf of Mexico the night of the 1st. It moved across central Florida during the daylight hours on the 2nd and passed well east of Cape Hatteras on the 3rd. The system's storm track was too far to the southeast to bring heavy snow into the middle and upper Delmarva Peninsula.

A complex 988 mb low, centered north of Cold Bay Tuesday, moved east across the Gulf of Alaska Wednesday and Thursday...to a position off Southeast Alaska near Canada Friday.  The system was followed by a strong area of high pressure.  Cold northwest winds moved in behind the low and into Kodiak Island late Wednesday and Thursday.  Winds were accompanied by temperatures in the single digits and multiple areas of blowing snow.  Despite the lack of corroborating reports, extreme blizzard conditions were likely reached in some areas...especially areas adjacent to Shelikof Strait.Several observations from Sitkinak were missing...likely directly due to the strong winds.  The East Amatuli Island deep water buoy stopped reporting about 7 pm Wednesday, probably due to ice accretion from warning level freezing spray.No damage was reported at Larsen Bay, Port Lions or Port Bailey.Akhiok reported a wind speed of 82 mph.  A tin roof was lost from a storage shed...otherwise no other damage was reported.  The wind equipment is privately owned.Event maxima...101 mph from the northwest at Sitkinak at 7 am Thursday, 1/24/02.

A lone "supercell"-like thunderstorm was observed by Miami doppler radar moving ashore from the Gulf of Mexico into Mainland Monroe County.  The thunderstorm then moved at a forward speed of 35 mph across south Miami-Dade County.

A quick hitting winter storm dropped heavy snow across northwestern New Jersey and lesser amounts across Hunterdon and Somerset Counties. Little if any snow or sleet fell farther to the south and east. The event lasted only about six hours, but up to 8.4 inches of snow accumulated over the higher terrain in the northwest part of the state.  Precipitation overspread the region in the form of snow during the late afternoon and very early evening on the 6th.  As the low pressure system came closer to the region, warmer air moved in and changed precipitation over to sleet and even rain across much of Somerset and Hunterdon Counties. In Warren and Morris Counties, the changeover took longer and lasted for a shorter period of time. Precipitation fell as mainly snow in Sussex County. The low pressure system moved rapidly offshore and precipitation changed back to snow across the entire area before ending around midnight EST. Since this event occurred mainly during Sunday evening, the number of accidents were reduced. The greatest number reported was in Sussex County. The vehicular accidents caused scattered outages in the county. There were delayed school openings on Monday the 7th.Specific accumulations included 8.4 inches in Sparta (Sussex County), 7.7 inches in Marcella (Morris County), 7.5 inches in Hackettstown (Warren County), Stockholm and Hamburg (Sussex County), 7.0 inches in Rockaway and Kenville (Morris County), 6.7 inches in Lebanon Township (Hunterdon County), 6.4 inches in Newton (Sussex County), 5.0 inches in Belvidere (Warren County), 3.3 inches in White House Station (Hunterdon County), 3.0 inches in Chatham (Morris County) and 1.3 inches in Branchburg (Somerset County).The low pressure system responsible for the first winter storm of the season developed near Houston, Texas the morning of the 5th. It moved rapidly northeast and reached the Alabama/Georgia border at 7 a.m. EST on the 6th, was just east of Atlantic City at 7 p.m. EST on the 6th and reached Nova Scotia by the morning of the 7th.

A man found dead in an abandoned building on Nance Street had apparently died due to exposure, according to the coroner.  The temperature that morning dropped to 26 degrees.
A strong ridge of high pressure at the surface and higher levels of the atmosphere brought unseasonably warm air into Delaware from January 27th through the 30th. This cemented another unseasonably warm and dry month across the region. High temperatures on the 27th and 28th were in the 60s and rose as warm as the record breaking 70s on both the 29th and 30th. A cold front dropped through the state late in the day on the 30th and lowered temperatures closer to seasonable levels on the 31st. Highest temperatures included 77 degrees in Georgetown (Sussex County), 76 degrees in Greenwood (Sussex County) and Milford (Kent County) and 70 degrees at the New Castle County Airport. The monthly mean temperature of 37.8 degrees at the New Castle County Airport (6.3 degrees above normal) was the tenth warmest January on record. The monthly mean temperature of 40.0 degrees in Georgetown was 5.7 degrees above normal.

A 3-year-old child was killed when her grandmother attempted to carry her across a flooded creek on foot. The grandmother was unable to cross the creek in her vehicle, so she attempted to cross on foot. The grandmother lost her footing in the creek, and the child was swept away and drowned. The flooding was caused by a large area of moderate to heavy rain falling on ground that was still moist from flooding rains a week earlier. An observer in Anna measured about 1.7 inches of rain.
In McCracken County, numerous creeks rose out of their banks, inundating a few roadways. The intersection of Kentucky Highway 1322 and Gum Springs Road was blocked by rushing floodwater.
