While the surface low pressure system that caused the snow on Sunday the 6th was located over Nova Scotia the morning of the 7th, the upper level system that supported the surface low still had to move through Pennsylvania and New Jersey. As it did, light snow developed across the area. In central and southern New Jersey, temperatures remained above freezing and snow mainly melted as it fell. Up to one inch accumulated on grassy areas. But farther north, where temperatures were colder and the precipitation intensity was heavier, snow accumulated between 1 and 4 inches. Untreated roads became slippery. Accumulations included 3.6 inches in Sparta (Sussex County), 3.5 inches in Hillsborough Township (Somerset County), 2.6 inches in Marcella (Morris County), 2.5 inches in Wantage (Sussex County), 2.0 inches in Rockaway Township (Morris County) and one inch in Chatham (Morris County) and Belle Mead (Somerset County). Accumulations from both days of snow in western Morris, Warren and Sussex Counties reached between 6 and 12 inches.

The same storm which brought heavy snow to much of north and central Georgia from the 2nd to the 3rd first began across the southeast portion of central Georgia. From early morning through mid-evening on the 2nd about a 12 hour period of wet snow, sleet, and light freezing rain affected these areas.  Ice accumulations averaged less than one-quarter inch, but were significant enough, when combined with a wet snow in some areas, to cause large tree limbs, and even some trees (especially pines), to fall on power lines, roads, and even some homes.  Several power outages resulted.  The hardest hit counties with glaze ice accumulations from freezing rain, freezing drizzle, and snow were Washington, Johnson, Jefferson, Emanuel, and Laurens counties.  All together, several hundred trees were damaged or destroyed and thousands of people in these counties lost power during the 2-day storm.  Many people did not have any power for 3 days or more.  Emergency electrical crews were called out from out-of-state to assist with the cleanup and restoration of power.

Snow spread north across Iowa during the morning of the 31st.  The synoptic situation was similar to the previous event, just that the cause was from another upper level system.  In this case, the entire upper level low pressure system lifted out northeast as a negative tilt trough of low pressure.  Snow broke out over nearly all of the state during the day on the 31st.  Band of heavy snow developed from west central into north central Iowa.  This band broke down by evening.  By that time the upper low was moving into Iowa.  A deformation pattern developed along the northwest edge of the 850 Mb low pressure circulation.  A brief period of very heavy snowfall of one to two inches per hour occurred as the deformation lifted east-northeast across the state.  There was a brief period of freezing drizzle and ice pellets just before the snow moved in, but once again, it was not a significant problem.  Travel was disrupted and many events were postponed or cancelled for the evening of the 31st.  Winds were under 20 MPH, so drifting of snow was not a large problem.  Conditions improved rapidly after  midnight.  The interesting thing about the two events measured was the long term of the events.  Snow fell on a large part of Iowa for nearly 48 hours.  As far as the public was concerned, it was a major winter event as all but 4 counties in the far northeast part of the Des Moines CWA received at least 6 inches of snow over the course of the two day period.

A grass fire was started by an unknown source and rapidly spread due to the dry grasses and gusty winds.  It quickly spread into a 10 mile long area and burned 5750 acres of grass, mostly CRP land along the alkali flats in the Red River Valley.  The fire was contained only when winds shifted and forced the fire back toward where it had already burned, which essentially was along US Highway 81.  The Grand Forks Sheriffs Office evacuated people living north of Grand Forks county road 1 and west of US Highway 81.  Firefighters said the fire created an environment of its own, with winds much different than surrounding areas.  The fire also created some convection, with returns noted on the Mayville WSR-88D radar.  Firefighters also said some firewhirls, or dust devils containing fire plumes, were  created.

The high surf and heavy southerly swell began to affect  south shores of the territory  Wednesday, April 17 and was getting stronger by the hour with swell reaching heights of 8 feet in Pago Pago Harbour Thursday morning, April 18, 2002.  The heavy swell caused the cancellation of the Long Boat race, which is the most attented activity of the Flag Day celebration.  A bried turned of the winds Friday morning allowed the race to take place but in a much shorter track then it was planned.  The high surf and heavy swell continued through April 29, 2002.  The heavy swell and high surf was a combination of swell generated by a slow moving low pressure far south of the islands and brisk trades generated by a strong ridge of high pressure which persisted for almost two weeks just south of Samoa.
High winds occured across portions of the Front Range Foothills.  Peak wind reports included:  95 mph (82 kt) 1 mile south of Fritz Peak, 88 mph (76 kt) atop Niwot Ridge and 73 mph (63 kt) 4 miles east-northeast of Nederland.
