Less than one week removed from record warmth, a late January winter storm brought the region it's first dose of significant winter precipitation. The storm system developed over Southern California and then lifted east northeast through the Mid Mississippi Valley Wednesday into early Thursday producing heavy snow and icy conditions.  The precipitation initially fell in the form of sleet and freezing rain along and south of Highway 34. Significant ice accumulations of 1/4 to 1/2 inch were reported with scattered power outages.  Downed trees were also reported. Eventually the ice changed to snow in Southeast Iowa where the highest accumulations occurred.  Amounts generally ranged from 8 to 13 inches.  Further north heavy snow fell as far north as Highway 30, where 6 to 10 inches was common.  The heavy snow and ice caused many schools to close.  Many activities were either cancelled or postponed.  Also, the winter weather was responsible for cancellations of several flights at the Quad City International Airport. There were numerous accidents with 2 indirect fatalities. One hand injury was reported when a man put his hand in a snow auger to unclog the heavy, wet snow.

January 2002 marked the seventh consecutive month of below normal precipitation for most of Delaware. While more precipitation fell in January than in any month since September, it was still drier than normal. On a county weighted average, monthly precipitation totals ranged from 2.4 inches in Kent County to 2.7 inches in New Castle County. Normal is around 3.4 inches. The lack of precipitation in the Delaware River Basin prompted the Delaware River Basin Commission to declare a "drought" on December 3rd and a drought emergency on the 18th. Streams in New Castle County that provide drinking water to communities within the county were near record low flow levels. Groundwater levels were also below normal.

A weak low pressure system that moved through the Gulf Coast States and exited quickly off the North Carolina coast had sufficient moisture and came close enough to the peninsula to give the region a wintry mix of snow, sleet and rain for most of the 19th. Snow began falling during the morning of the 19th. As the low pressure system came closer and warmer air moved in, precipitation mixed with and then changed to rain across Kent and Sussex Counties. In New Castle County, the changeover took longer and in many locations, temperatures were cold enough for freezing rain to occur. As the low pulled offshore, precipitation changed back to snow in New Castle and Kent Counties during the evening and over to freezing rain after midnight in Sussex County.  Accumulations ranged from 1 to 5 inches with the heaviest amounts in New Castle County. Bridges, overpasses, untreated roadways and shady areas became very treacherous, especially in the upper part of the state.  Specific accumulations included 4.5 inches in New Castle (New Castle County), 4.3 inches in Newark (New Castle County), 4.0 inches in Wilmington (New Castle County), 2.5 inches in Smyrna (Kent County), 2.3 inches in Dover (Kent County), 2.2 inches in Greenwood (Sussex County) and 1.5 inches in Georgetown (Sussex County).  The low pressure system responsible for the wintry mix developed in the Gulf Coast States during the evening of the 18th. By the morning of the 19th, it was located in northern Mississippi. At 11 a.m. EST the primary low moved into Tennessee as a secondary formed near Wilmington, North Carolina. At 5 p.m. EST it moved to just east of Elizabeth City, North Carolina and then accelerated to a position south of Cape Cod at midnight EST on the 20th.

After four days of unseasonably warm weather, a cold front moved through Sussex County on the 30th. It brought much colder air into the region near the surface. Weak low pressure developed on the frontal boundary over the lower Ohio Valley late that day. Moisture rode above the frontal boundary on the 31st and spread into northern New Jersey early in the morning as rain. Unfortunately, temperatures were still below freezing at the ground as precipitation fell and it froze on exposed surfaces in Sussex County.  The freezing rain ended around noon EST on the 31st. But, spotty freezing drizzle and dense fog formed during the evening of the 31st and persisted into the early morning on February 1st. About one tenth of an inch of ice accrued on objects. Untreated roadways and walkways were treacherous.

January 2002 continued the dry pattern that established during the second half of 2001 in Maryland. While January was the wettest month for the state since September, it was still drier than normal. On a county weighted average, monthly precipitation totals ranged from 2.2 inches in Queen Anne's County to 2.8 inches in Cecil County. Normal is around 3.3 inches. The Eastern Shore has received only 41 percent of normal precipitation since September 1st. Stream flows and groundwater levels were even lower than they were in December. There has also been an increase in demand for deeper wells to be drilled as private wells were going dry. The continued dry conditions forced the Maryland Department of the Environment to upgrade the drought watch to a drought warning for the Maryland Eastern Shore on January 24th. The Susquehanna River Basin Commission also declared a drought warning and called for a 10 to 15 percent reduction in usage. The reduced flow in the Susquehanna River also makes saltwater intrude farther upstream from Chesapeake Bay into the river. This was exacerbated by the city of Baltimore which started drawing water from the river. The Maryland Department of the Environment requested large water utilities to audit their water use and develop a water conservation plan if their losses exceed 10 percent of the total water use. No formal water restrictions were in place, but water conservation continued to be emphasized.

A weak low pressure system that moved through the Gulf Coast States and exited quickly off the North Carolina coast had sufficient moisture and came close enough to the peninsula to give the region a wintry mix of snow, sleet and rain for most of the 19th. Snow began falling during the morning of the 19th. As the low pressure system came closer and warmer air moved in, precipitation mixed with and then changed to rain across southern areas of the Delmarva Peninsula during the mid and late afternoon hours. The changeover took longer across Kent and Cecil Counties where temperatures were cold enough for freezing rain.  As the low pulled offshore, precipitation changed back to snow throughout the area during the evening and ended around midnight. Cecil County accumulated half the snow from the event between 10 p.m. and midnight EST. Accumulations ranged from 1.5 to 4.0 inches with the heaviest amounts in Cecil County. Bridges and shady areas became very treacherous, especially in the upper peninsula. Maryland State Route 272 was particularly treacherous, especially the bridge over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad near North East (Cecil County). A tractor trailer slid into vehicles on the bridge and several other vehicles were spinning out of control.Specific accumulations included 4 inches in Elkton (Cecil County), 3.8 inches in Stevensville (Queen Anne's County), 3.5 inches at the Conowingo Dam (Cecil County), 3.0 inches in Chestertown (Kent County), 2 inches in Easton (Talbot County) and Centreville (Queen Anne's County) and 1.5 inches in Denton (Caroline County).

A band of snow and sleet fell across the area Tuesday evening and into early Wednesday morning.  Most of the area from Beaumont to Waynesboro and Leakesville received one to three inches of snow.  To the south of this area generally from Wiggins to east of Lucedale one-quarter inch of sleet and freezing rain fell with only a dusting of snow covering some rooftops.  Still, traveling became hazardous across the area.  Fortunately the schools were out for the holidays so the winter precipitation was mostly just an inconvenience.  Some of the heavier amounts of snow were north of U. S. Highway 98 in Perry county 2 to 3 inches with areas south of U. S. Highway 98 getting 1 to 2 inches.  The Leakesville area received 1 to 2 inches of snow with most of Wayne county getting 1 to 2 inches.  Although several secondary roads and bridges had to be closed and sanded, very little property damage was reported.
