A short wave trough, associated with an arctic frontal boundary, moved through southern Lower Michigan during the late evening of the 11th. As this system moved across the region, it brought one to three inches of snowfall to eastern Michigan, with the exception of 4 to 5 inches along the Interstate 69 corridor from Owosso to Port Huron. High winds followed in the wake of the snowfall and even led to a brief period (one to two hours) of blizzard conditions. The poor driving conditions resulted in dozens of automobile accidents across the region, including a six-car pileup on Interstate 94 in Macomb County. Ten injuries (indirect) were reported as a result of the traffic accidents.

Lightning entered the second floor of the Mount Hope Middle School.  Luckily, it was after most students had already gone home for the day.  However, there were 30 to 40 students in the building for after school programs.  Eight children were slightly injured.  There were a few flash burns to the eyes, while other students were hurt by flying glass.  The school is located on a knoll or relatively high ground.  Apparently, the lightning was attracted to the 2nd floor of the 3 story building by a set of outside wires.  These wire ran through a nearby tree.  The wires were fried.  The lightning entered the principal's office, a bathroom, and one classroom.  According to the Fayette County School Board, the electrical surge destroyed 2 computer systems with 27 monitors.  Five television sets and 2 video cassette recorders were also destroyed.  About a dozen windows were broken.  In addition, there were broken water pipes, which caused flooding in 2 rooms. The school was closed on the 14th, as the facility was checked-out and repaired.The quick moving showers, and embedded thunderstorms, formed along a cold front.  Ironically, there were only a few strokes of lightning associated with this narrow line of precipitation.

Thunderstorms with damaging winds and large hail moved through Northern Virginia during the evening of the 22nd. In Page County, a downburst of winds estimated between 70 and 80 MPH caused significant damage in Dovel Hollow near Stanley.  The wind ripped the roof off of a 45 by 60 foot machine shed, threw it over a two story house, and it finally  landed on Dovel Hollow Road nearly 300 yards away. Debris from the shed was thrown into the 2nd story of the home and caused significant damage to the front of the structure.   The shed debris also damaged a pickup truck and tore wires off another home.  In the vicinity several trees and power lines were also downed.  Residents reported one half inch of rainfall in 15 minutes and hail.  In Rappahannock County, penny sized hail fell in Sperryville.  In Culpeper County, a tree was downed onto a house just west of Culpeper. In Fauquier County, a few trees were downed in Warrenton.  In Loudoun County, a tree was downed in Bluemont.

A potent Alberta Clipper produced heavy snow across New Castle County and measurable snow across Kent County. Snow fell at a lesser intensity and temperatures were warmer farther south across Sussex County with little or no accumulation. Snow began falling during the late morning and was the heaviest during the afternoon. It ended during the early evening. Many roads were slippery and snow covered in New Castle County. Even main roadways were slushy. Numerous accidents were reported. In Kent County, secondary and tertiary roads were partially snow covered. Main roads in Kent County were wet as were all the roads in Sussex County. Accumulations included 5.5 inches in Bear (New Castle County), 5.0 inches in Wilmington (New Castle County), 4.0 inches in Newark (New Castle County), 3.3 inches at the New Castle County Airport, 2.8 inches in Dover (Kent County), 2.0 inches in Woodside (Kent County) and just a trace in Milford (Sussex County).   The low pressure system formed in Saskatchewan Province on the third, moved southeast to Minnesota on the morning of the 4th, southern Indiana on the morning of the 5th and was well east of the Delmarva Peninsula during the morning of the 6th. Historically, Alberta type low pressure systems usually do not produce heavy snow. But the air at mid levels of the atmosphere was quite cold and this enhanced the instability with this low pressure system.  While no thunderstorms occurred, the instability did produce heavier precipitation.

Reported to have knocked out windshields on Interstate 75.
On Sunday January 26, less than 48 hours after the main off shore wind event occurred across the interior of the Panhandle, a front swept inland.  As the front tracked in off the Gulf, the pressure gradient was able to restrengthen and result in a 1-2 hour period of high winds.  Taku winds were in down town Juneau and Douglas were the strongest measured during this event.  Peak wind gusts of 74 mph were measured at the Juneau Rock Dump.  Only minor damage resulted.
