Hanna developed out of a broad area of disturbed weather and low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico.  A tropical depression formed from the disturbance late on September 11th in the central Gulf of Mexico and meandered slowly across the central Gulf before becoming a tropical storm on the 13th about 255 miles south southwest of Pensacola, Florida.  Tropical Storm Hanna moved northwest and then north and passed over extreme southeast Louisiana near the mouth of the Mississippi River early on the 14th and made landfall near the Mississippi and Alabama border midday on the 14th with 50 mph winds.Tropical Storm Hanna was an asymmetrical storm with the strongest winds confined to the east of the center.  As a result, no tropical storm force winds were observed at any land locations.  Rainfall amounts were less than 1 inch and no significant flooding occurred from high tides.

On Wednesday, December 4th, an area of low pressure started to develop along an old frontal boundary that snaked across the northwest Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf coast states.  Meanwhile, high pressure stretched from the northern plains, across the Great Lakes, to the Mid-Atlantic coast.  This high pressure locked in the cold air across the northeast.  That night, the developing storm moved across the southeastern states to the North Carolina coast. Shortly after daybreak on Thursday, December 5th, as the storm started to move off the coast near Cape Hatteras flurries and light snow started to move into northeast New Jersey. Between 9 am and 10 am, bands of moderate to heavy snow started to move across northeast New Jersey. This steady, moderate to heavy snow continued through most of the afternoon, falling at times at rates over an inch per hour.  As the storm sped off toward the North Atlantic waters, the heavy snow began to taper off to light snow between 4 pm and 5 pm.  By this time, an average of 6 to 8 inches had fallen across the region.  As moisture continued to "wrap around" the storm, light snow continued to fall through the evening rush hour commute before tapering off to flurries and finally ending around 9 pm.  Final snowfall accumulations ranged from 6 to 9 inches across northeast New Jersey.

On Christmas Eve, a storm system moved up into the Ohio Valley and weakened, while another storm intensified off the East Coast. Despite the fact that the initial storm over the Ohio Valley was weakening, the northern edge of this storm system moved across southern and central Lower Michigan and caused several inches of accumulation across much of the area. The snowfall began near the Ohio border late in the evening on Christmas eve, then slowly lifted northward across eastern Michigan on Christmas morning. The heaviest snowfall amounts occurred across Lenawee, Monroe, Washtenaw and Wayne counties, where 5 to 7.5 inches of accumulation were reported. The highest snowfall totals were; 6 inches in Adrian, 7 inches in Dundee, 7.5 inches in Milan, 6.8 inches in Wyandotte, and 6.5 inches at Detroit Metro Airport. Washtenaw County even declared a snow emergency, ticketing vehicles left parked on the street. The rest of eastern Michigan received 3 to 5 inches of snowfall, with the Flint and Lapeer areas reporting 5.5 inches. Given the large amount of holiday travelers, dozens of traffic accidents were reported across the region. No injuries or deaths were reported.

A barn and small cottage were completely destroyed.  Three homes and another small barn sustained minor damage.  Hundreds of trees were snapped along the damage path which was approximately 40 yards in width.
Despite indications of much above normal rainfall for the month of November 2002, the rainfall only occurred in a single 3-day rain event from the 7th through the 9th of November. Strong, blocking high pressure then kept any further significant late Fall accumulation of rain/snow for Interior Central California into mid-December. With the large rainfall amounts on the San Joaquin Valley floor by November 9th, haze and fog prevailed subsequently for a 30+-day period while the adjacent foothills, mountains, and Kern Desert dried again in rainless conditions. Widespread dense fog from mid to late-November ceased by the morning of the 1st of December on the Valley floor.  But patchy dense fog and haze prevailed from the 1st of the month through the 9th before the major precipitation in December began on the 13th. The morning of the 5th had some very dense, but again patchy fog. A 9-vehicle pile-up occurred near Los Banos in Merced County (CAZ89) on Highway 152 around 8:35 AM PST that killed one and injured 3 others.
