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 totals included: 4 inches at New Madrid, 3.5 inches at Cape Girardeau, 3 inches at Sikeston, Perryville, and Van Buren, and 2 inches at Doniphan.

A fairly common weather pattern, from late fall through early spring, is when a strong off shore (east-northeast) pressure gradient develops across Southeast Alaska.  This pattern often generates high winds, especially out of the eastern inlets and passes that dot the Canadian Border.  This pattern also results in clear skies, very cold temperatures, dangerous wind chills and heavy freezing spray.  It is an arctic outbreak.  In the Juneau area, due to the mountainous terrain being perpendicular to Taku Inlet, a mountain wave/downslope high wind event is able to develop.  This local, terrain induced event is known as the "Taku Winds."  From Wednesday January 22 into Saturday morning January 25, a strong off shore pressure gradient developed across Southeast Alaska.  The interior surface High peaked near 1058mb over the Northwest Territories.  A low as deep as 986mb was over the North Pacific to create a synoptic scale pressure gradient of 72mb.  At the onset of this three day high wind event, some damage occurred on the docks in downtown Juneau.  The Taku winds lifted four 10,000 pound freight containers from a docked barge, breaking the chains that held them down, and dumped them into Gastineau Channel.  Aside from that, only minor tree damage was reported during this time.  Some measured peak wind gusts were 68 mph at both the Juneau Rock Dump (southern portion of downtown) and in Lynn Canal, and 76 mph on the Grey Islet sensor at the mouth of Portland Inlet.  Mariners reported gusts in excess of 70 mph and heavy freezing spray at the mouth of Taku Inlet.

The Evansville Tri-State area, including Henderson and Owensboro, received the brunt of a winter storm that began during the evening of February 15th and lasted about 24 hours. The precipitation was mainly in the form of sleet. Two to three inches of sleet, mixed with freezing rain and snow, resulted in major travel disruptions.  A thick layer of ice caused by the compacted sleet and freezing rain mixture made travel difficult at best. The storm occurred on the Presidents Day weekend. Most schools and businesses scheduled to be open on Presidents Day were closed. In Hopkins County, which includes the city of Madisonville, there were 30 weather-related traffic mishaps.The storm's effects were much less severe across the Tennessee border region of western Kentucky. Accumulations in those areas were generally an inch or less.  Some specific reports included: 3 inches at Owensboro, 2 inches at Dixon in Webster County, and 1.3 inches at Paducah.
