Winter Storm in MARLBORO, SOUTH CAROLINA
From 02-JAN-02 15:00:00 to 04-JAN-02 03:00:00 (EST)
Reported by: NEWSPAPER

Low pressure formed in the Gulf of Mexico the morning of January 2nd and moved up the eastern seaboard.  Moisture moved north, overrunning cold high pressure, setting up a wintery mix for North and South Carolina.  The precipitation began as snow over South Carolina that afternoon, and expanded to include North Carolina later that afternoon.  The precipitation changed to freezing rain and sleet, then to rain over coastal sections of North and South Carolina that evening and continued through the morning of January 3rd.  The precipitation in the inland counties remained as a mix of freezing rain and sleet. As the the low pressure center  continued to track north,  cold air wrapped around the system, changing the precipitation back to all snow by midday on January 3rd, and continued until the snow tapered off by early morning on January 4th.The snowfall totals were heaviest over portions of Darlington, Marlboro, and Robeson counties, where between 6 to 8 inches fell, with some sleet mixed in.  Counties further south and east, including Florence, Marion, Dillon, and Bladen counties received between 4 and 6 inches of snow, including between a half and an inch of freezing rain and sleet. Along coastal counties, between 1 and 3 inches of snow occurred, with around a half inch of sleet and freezing rain. There were numerous traffic accidents reported, although there was no information on injuries.  In Florence county alone, emergency personnel reported 167 accidents, over double the normal amount.  There were over 1500 traffic accidents reported in South Carolina alone.  The freezing rain from the storm forced many trees and large branches to snap, causing numerous power outages around the area. More than 25,000 customers were without power in Horry, Georgetown, and Brunswick counties. Secondary roads in most areas proved treacherous, but road crews managed to keep highways and primary roads open. Many businesses and schools were closed on January 3rd and 4th, including 64,000 state workers.

A cold front pushed into the South Plains area from the east and northeast during the early morning hours of the 30th.  Meanwhile, a strong upper level disturbance was approaching the region from New Mexico.  As the disturbance approached, a large area of precipitation developed during the morning of the 30th as relatively warm and moist air was lifted up over the cold air near the surface.  Due to the rather shallow depth of the cold air, the precipitation fell as freezing rain and sleet over the extreme southern Panhandle and northern South Plains.  One quarter to three quarters of an inch of ice was reported on exposed surfaces.  The ice brought down a few trees and some power lines but damage was not widespread from this storm.  The precipitation changed to snow during the late afternoon and evening hours of the 30th with one to two inches accumulating on top of the ice over the southwestern Panhandle.  The precipitation ended early on the 31st.

A strong cold front approached central Pennsylvania during the afternoon of March 9, 2002.  Southwest winds increased during the afternoon across the region.  By evening, a line of showers accompanying the cold front entered the western edge of the CTP forecast area.  Damaging winds accompanied the front and occurred after the frontal passage as winds shifted to the west.  Wind speeds were estimated to be between 50 and 60 mph.  After crossing the central portions of the region, the line of showers intensified into a line of convection with lightning and thunder.  More intense damage was noted with the front as it crossed the eastern portions of the region.  Damaging winds continued throughout the night.  All 36 CTP zones reported multiple trees and wires down during an approximately nine hour period from 7:30 p.m. EST on the 9th through 5:00 a.m. on the 10th.In addition to trees and wires, more notable property damage occurred.

Winter Storm in MCPHERSON, KANSAS
From 01-MAR-02 22:00:00 to 02-MAR-02 04:00:00 (CST)
Reported by: LAW ENFORCEMENT

Low pressure developed rapidly over New Mexico during the morning. As the low moved east into West Texas, it deepened considerably, allowing rich gulf moisture to surge north across East Texas and Oklahoma and into Kansas. An upper-level impulse lifting northeast across the Southern Plains induced sufficient lift to produce bands of snow across Central Kansas late in the afternoon. By evening, the snow increased in both coverage and intensity, and between 10 PM and midnight, moderate to heavy snow occurred across that part of Central Kansas generally along, and southeast, of a line from Hutchinson to McPherson. By midnight, the snow had overspread South-Central and most of Southeast Kansas. Accumulations were 3-6 inches, with the greater amounts occurring across Southeast Kansas where the snow was occasionally convective. However, northerly winds of 30-40 mph whipped across the region resulting in widespread blowing and drifting snow that frequently reduced visibilities to around 1/4 mile.
