Reported by: EMERGENCY MANAGER

Low pressure developed along the western Gulf Coast during Tuesday morning, December 24th, and moved northeast into the Ohio Valley from late Tuesday into Tuesday night. This low then weakened as it moved east across southern Pennsylvania, while another low pressure system developed and intensified rapidly during the morning hours of Wednesday, December 25th. This second, stronger low pressure system then tracked northeast off the New England Coast by Wednesday night. Generally light snow overspread Central Pennsylvania during Tuesday evening, and continued intermittently through Tuesday night, occasionally mixing with sleet and rain across the lower Susquehanna Valley.  Heavier snow then rapidly developed around daybreak Wednesday from west to east.  Intense snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour reduced visibilities to near zero across much of Central Pennsylvania during the mid morning hours, before eventually tapering off to flurries during the mid afternoon hours of Wednesday.As a result of this storm, accumulations generally ranged from 6 to 12 inches across much of Central Pennsylvania, with higher amounts across the lower and mid Susquehanna Valley, where locally 12 to 18 inches fell.  The snow was much wetter in consistency across the lower Susquehanna Valley, which resulted in numerous downed trees and power lines. Widespread power outages occurred across the lower Susquehanna Valley, where at least 50,000 customers endured power loss.  In addition, excessive snowfall led to many road closures on Wednesday, including long stretches of Interstates 80 and 81.

Property damage: 15M
Reported by: LAW ENFORCEMENT

On the 28th, an Arctic Front surged south across Kansas, leaving a shallow layer of sub-freezing air in it's wake. Meanwhile, an 850mb low was positioned over New Mexico. As the 850mb low moved east across New Mexico on the 29th and 30th, much warmer, moisture-laden air was transported north across the southern plains in a layer approximately 3,000 feet thick, trapping the sub-freezing layer beneath. On the evening of the 30th, the 850mb low crossed the New Mexico/Texas border. A mid-upper level trough moving east across the southern Rockies provided sufficient lift across the region.Widespread freezing rain and sleet developed late in the afternoon of the 29th across south-central Kansas and continued through the night of the 30th, eventually changing to snow early on the morning of the 31st. The result was a major ice accumulation of 1-2 inches on trees and power lines across south-central Kansas that severed power to much of the area. The most prolonged power outages occurred across southeast Butler and Cowley Counties where the outages lasted for nearly a week. Trained spotters and area newspapers contributed greatly to this report.
