A low pressure system in Mississippi, New Year's Eve, moved northeast to the Tennessee/North Carolina border the morning of the 1st.  The storm then picked up speed to be in northeast Pennsylvania the evening of New Year's Day.  The next morning it was off the coast of Maine.  A cold front with rain passed southeast of the area New Year's Eve.  This allowed a north to northeast surface wind to set up which brought in cold air during most of the 1st.  Precipitation well ahead of the storm started around 10 AM on the 1st.  Precipitation started as mostly rain but as colder air moved in the rain began to freeze.  The freezing rain was heavy at times in the evening before ending in the early morning of the 2nd.  Ice amounts were the thickest at the higher elevations with mostly a quarter to a half inch.  Above 1500 feet elevation an inch or more of ice was coating surfaces in Bradford County.  Melted precipitation amounts were an inch or more.  The ice caused trees and wires to come down.  Around 3,000 customers lost power in the area.  The hardest hit area with 1000 customers without power was around Canton in Bradford County.  The ice remained on the trees and wires through the January 3rd snowstorm causing more wires to come down.

A very strong wedge of cold air, associated with a Canadian high pressure system over the mid-Atlantic, nosed down the east side of the Appalachians into north and east Georgia.  Warm air just above the layer of cold air resulted in light freezing rain and freezing drizzle in several northeast Georgia counties.  The area most affected was between Danielsville, Washington, Lexington, and Jefferson.  Just a light glazing of ice was reported in these counties, primarily on trees, power lines, and bridges.  No significant problems were noted.

The combination of a high pressure system over nearby Canada, a low pressure system that moved along the Eastern Seaboard and spring astronomical tides caused by the new moon produced widespread minor tidal flooding along the Delaware River and tidal sections of its tributary streams during the daytime high tide cycle on the 3rd. Localized tidal flooding occurred with the previous afternoon's high tide. High tide at Reedy Island was 7.78 feet above mean lower low water at 1148 a.m. EST on the 3rd. Minor tidal flooding begins at 7.2 feet above mean lower low water.

The storm hit during the morning commute time on a weekday, so it had a major impact on  traffic. The snow fell at the rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour around the morning drive time. Many schools cancelled classes.  By noon, most of the accumulating snow had ended, leaving a blanket of 3 to 4 inches in most places. Cold temperatures limited the effectiveness of salt used by road crews, and some minor blowing and drifting occurred. Temperatures were in the 20's during the snowstorm, and around 10 by the morning of the 17th. Refreezing of moisture occurred after dark, causing another round of accidents after the snow had ended. The snow was caused by a moderately strong upper level disturbance that moved east from the Plains, then across Tennessee. A weak low pressure system followed about the same path, passing just south of Missouri and Kentucky. Some specific snowfall amounts included: 4 inches at Cairo and Mound City, and 3 inches at Anna (Union County) and Eddyville (Pope County). Only the southern tip of Illinois received these heavier snow totals. Carbondale and points north received 2 inches or less.

A cold front moved across the region during the pre-dawn hours, early on Wednesday, January 1st before stalling just off the coast later that day. During the evening on January 1st, a developing area of low pressure began to move northeast from the Delmarva Peninsula along the frontal boundary. By morning, the center of the low moved well off to the northeast of the New England coast. During the day on Thursday, January 2nd, a second area of low pressure began to develop over Virginia. This low quickly intensified and took over as the primary storm as it moved slowly northeast Thursday night. The center of this low pressure system was south of Long Island by Friday afternoon, and just southeast of Nantucket by Saturday morning.Light and spotty precipitation, generally in the form of snow, fell across Southwestern Connecticut just before midnight on the night of January 2nd into the 3rd.  This light and intermittent snow continued for a few hours before tapering off to flurries before daybreak.  Cloudy skies with an occasional flurry continued through the morning on January 3rd, before light snow began to fall around noon.  The precipitation quickly changed over to freezing rain by mid afternoon.  The freezing rain continued through the remainder of the afternoon and through the evening.  At times, the freezing rain mixed with or briefly changed over to snow. The precipitation became more light in nature, after midnight on the night of January 3rd into the 4th, before ending in the form of light snow during the mid to late morning on Saturday, January 4th.Storm total accumulations were as follows:Northern Fairfield County: 4-6 inches of snow, with a significant accumulation of ice.Southern Fairfield County: 1-3 inches of snow, with a significant accumulation of ice that downed numerous trees and power lines.Northern New Haven County: 4-10 inches of snow, with a significant accumulation of ice in areas that received less snow.

A strong arctic front moved through the northern plains, and produced strong northwest winds.  The strongest winds occurred across the northern Red River Valley, where a MN DOT RWIS site at St. Vincent, MN, gusted up to 56 mph.  Little snow was associated with the frontal passage, but there was about an inch of fluffy snow on the ground at the time.  The worst visibilities were found in open country.  With little falling snow and mostly sunny conditions above the blowing snow layer, it was considered a ground blizzard.  A slow improvement occurred in the afternoon, with the northern Red River Valley actually out of blizzard conditions by 3 pm.  Quite a bit of dirt mixed in with the blowing snow.

The combination of a high pressure system over nearby Canada, a series of low pressure systems that passed southeast of Delaware and spring astronomical tides caused by the new moon produced widespread minor tidal flooding along the coast and Delaware Bay during the daytime high tide cycles on the second and third. The highest tides occurred on the 3rd. The highest tide at Breakwater Harbor (Sussex County) was 7.19 feet above mean lower low water at 848 a.m. EST on the 3rd. Minor tidal flooding begins at 6.7 feet above mean lower low water. High tide at Reedy Island (New Castle County) was 7.78 feet above mean lower low water at 1148 a.m. EST on the 3rd. Minor tidal flooding begins at 7.2 feet above mean lower low water.  The first low pressure system moved rapidly northeast from the Tennessee Valley on the morning of the 1st to southeast of Cape Cod on the morning of the 2nd. At the same time, another low pressure system formed in the western Tennessee Valley on the morning of the 2nd and moved more slowly northeast. It reached near Norfolk, Virginia during the morning of the 3rd and just southeast of Cape Cod during the morning of the 4th. Meanwhile, a large high pressure system moved slowly east from western Ontario Province the morning of the 1st to eastern Quebec Province the morning of the 4th. The high pressure system helped enhance the onshore flow throughout the week.

Moderate to heavy snow fell across portions of extreme eastern Colorado, northwest Kansas and Southwest Nebraska on New Year's Day.  Total snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches were common across Sherman and Cheyenne counties in Kansas.  The combination of snow and wind reduced visibilities to one-half mile at times during the morning and early afternoon hours.

A potent Alberta Clipper produced two to four and a half inches of snow across Berks County and southeastern Pennsylvania. Accumulations farther north were less than two inches. The largest accumulations were in Chester County. Snow began falling around Noon EST and was the heaviest during the afternoon. It ended during the evening. Many roads became slippery and snow covered. Many minor accidents were reported in Bucks County. Both U.S. Route 202 in Chester County and U.S. Route 422 in Montgomery County were both described as being in poor shape. Accumulations included 4.6 inches in Kennett Square (Chester County), 4.5 inches in Thorndale (Chester County), 4 inches in Honeybrook (Chester County), 3.7 inches in Newtown Square (Delaware County), 3.6 inches in West Chester (Chester County), 3.0 inches in Ambler (Montgomery County), Birdsboro (Berks County) and Reading (Berks County), 2.9 inches in Clifton Heights (Delaware County), 2.6 inches at the Philadelphia International Airport, 2.5 inches in Wynnewood (Montgomery County), 2.1 inches in Furlong (Bucks County) and 2.0 inches in New Hope and Southampton (Bucks County) and Norristown and Green Lane (Montgomery 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.
