The dry weather pattern that has been established over the Maryland Eastern Shore since July of 2001 intensified during the month of February. For many locations, February 2002 was the driest February on record. On a county weighted average, monthly precipitation totals ranged from 0.5 inches in Cecil and Kent Counties to 0.8 inches in Caroline County. Normal is around 2.9 inches. The February precipitation total at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport was 0.36 inches and was 2.66 inches below normal. The meteorological winter (December through February) precipitation total for the airport was 4.28 inches, 5.62 inches (less than half of) below normal. All groundwater wells were lower than normal. At the start of February, 87 percent of all gaged streams in Maryland were below normal. Farmers' fields were dry down to 12 inches. While currently not a problem, it will become one in the spring if the top layer does not become moist. Streamflow into Chesapeake Bay at the end of January was the second lowest on record (began in 1937). The higher salinity infiltration threatened shallow wells and caused more oyster diseases. The continued dry conditions forced the Maryland Department of the Environment to continue the drought warning for the Maryland Eastern Shore that was issued on January 24th.  No formal water restrictions were in place, but businesses and private citizens were asked to conserve as much water as possible..

February 2002 marked the eighth consecutive month of below normal precipitation for most of Delaware. The July 2001 through February 2002 period was the driest July through February on record. For example, at the New Castle County Airport, only 14.39 inches of precipitation fell. For most of the state it was also the driest February on record and increased precipitation deficits throughout the area. On a county weighted average, monthly precipitation totals ranged from 0.5 inches in New Castle County to 0.8 inches in Sussex County. Normal is around 3.0 inches. The February precipitation total at the New Castle County Airport was only 0.43 inches, the driest February on record. In Georgetown (Sussex County), the February precipitation total was 0.89 inches, 2.23 inches below normal. The winter as a whole was also unseasonably dry. The meteorological winter precipitation total of 5.10 inches at the New Castle County Airport was the 5th driest winter on record. The meteorological winter precipitation total of 5.41 inches at Georgetown (Sussex County) was 4.84 inches below normal. The lack of precipitation in the Delaware River Basin forced the Delaware River Basin Commission to continue its drought emergency declaration from December 18, 2001. All groundwater wells in the state were below normal. All streams used for drinking water in northern Delaware were at record low levels for the calendar day on February 26th and were only flowing at about one quarter of their mean daily flow. Sixteen of twenty measured wells in Chester County Pennsylvania at the headwaters for the northern Delaware water supplies were at drought emergency levels. United Water of Delaware requested water releases from the Hoopes Reservoir water reserve to dilute the salinity of the stream water near their intake valves. All of this prompted the Delaware State Drought Advisory Committee to call for a drought warning declaration by the governor on February 26th and also supported a statewide burning ban. The current drought posed no problems for farmers unless it persisted during March and the first half of April. The dry fields would actually prevent delayed planting of peas and corns. The lack of precipitation is also expected to keep the mosquito population under control.

A low pressure system moved through the Great Lakes region on the 26th, and brought 2 to 4 inches of snow to much of northern Michigan.  Lake effect snow developed as the system passed east of Michigan.  The lake effect snow was primarily confined to far northwest Lower Michigan (near Lake Michigan) and far northeast Lower Michigan (near Lake Huron), where an additional 6 inches of snow fell during the evening and overnight hours of the 26th into the 27th.

Late winter storm brought heavy snow to western Montana for two days, as an arctic frontal boundary met up with a moist pacific airmass. Snowfall totals ranged from 6 to 12 inches in the valleys with one to two feet common in the mountains. Local whiteout conditions prevailed as the arctic front passed through, causing  snow drifts over a foot in many areas. Commercial flights into the Butte Airport were canceled for most of the day on March 7th. Highest snowfall totals recorded in the mountains were Hoodoo Basin and Poorman Creek with 33 inches, and Marias Pass with 35 inches.

A major winter like spring storm developed over western Montana as Pacific moisture and an arctic front combined to dump record breaking heavy snow over the region for three days. Local blizzard conditions developed over portions of western Montana on the third day, as the arctic front pushed over the Continental Divide and southward into the Bitterroot Valley. North winds increased to between 30 and 40 mph just behind the arctic front, with most roads declared emergency travel only by the DOT.  Many northwest Montana schools were closed down. Average snowfall in the valleys ranged from 6 to 12 inches, with one to two feet of new snow in the mountains. The West Glacier and Blackfoot Regions received the most snow with 29 to 39 inches reported. Kalispell Airport broke a three day snowfall record with 20 inches and a record low temperature of 10 degrees on March 20. In the Mission Valley, snow drifts of 3 to 4 feet were reported.

As the storm system mentioned above lifted northeast of Iowa, it intensified rapidly.  A very tight pressure gradient set up across Iowa with west to northwest winds increasing to 30 to 45 MPH sustained with occasional gusts to 55 MPH.  At the same time, a band of light to moderate snow developed and lifted northeast across the state.  Although only an inch or two of snow fell with this band, the strong winds and temperatures in the single digits and teens combined to produce blizzard conditions over northern Iowa.  Visibility dropped to between zero and a few hundred feet.  Several highways were closed due to accidents and poor visibility.  Interstate 35 was closed for several hours from U.S. Highway 30 north to the Minnesota border.  The Iowa D.O.T. recommended no travel into the north central part of Iowa from mid morning into the mid afternoon hours.  Conditions improved rapidly by mid to late afternoon as the low pressure pulled northeast away from the state.

Snow fell overnight into the morning hours, as an upper level storm system moved across the area, and was followed by strong northwest winds.  Most of the snow fell immediately along the Tennessee border, but extended east of there in some cases. Some of the higher elevations of Graham, Madison, and Avery Counties received as much as 5 inches of snow.  In addition to the snow, wind chill values fell to zero and below in some locations.

A strong frontal system brought a variety of winter weather to all of southeastern Idaho including heavy snow and strong winds.  The storm produced some heavy snowfall in the mountains with 6 to 12 inches reported by SNOTEL sites.  Some other amounts were 8 inches at Pomerelle ski resort, 7 inches in Stanley, 7 inches at Island Park, 7 inches in Ketchum.  Winds of 25 to 50 mph were common behind the passage of the cold front with gusts of 59 mph at Craters of the Moon and 58 mph at Minidoka.  Several highways were closed on the morning of the 8th due to the wind and low visibilities.  Interstate 84 was closed from Burley to the Utah border.  Highway 26 was closed from just outside of Idaho Falls to the Wyoming border.  Highway 32 from Ashton to Tetonia was closed as well as Highway 33 from Newdale to Tetonia.   Although snow amounts were light in the Snake River Plain, less than 2 inches, the high winds caused reduced visibilities with extensive drifting causing icy roads.  75 accidents occurred in the Pocatello area.  Icy roads were blamed for two fatal traffic accidents involving a 25 year old man on interstate 15 near Inkom and a 16 year old girl on interstate 15 near Blackfoot.
