A wintry mix of precipitation fell during the first half of the day on the 21st across Eastern Pennsylvania. Precipitation in Philadelphia, the immediate northwest suburbs and Berks County fell mainly as freezing rain with a little bit of sleet. Ice accretions averaged one tenth to two tenths of an inch. In the Lehigh Valley, precipitation started as snow, but changed quickly to sleet and freezing rain. Snow and sleet accumulations were around half an inch and ice accretions between one tenth and two tenths of an inch. In the Poconos, precipitation fell mainly as snow, with a wintry mix in the valleys. Snow accumulations in the higher terrain averaged three inches. The wintry mix and freezing rain made for slippery travel on untreated roadways. Because the 21st was a Sunday morning, the number of reported accidents was relatively low.
The wintry mix was caused by a low pressure system that moved from the Mississippi Valley on the morning of the 20th east into southwest Ontario Province on the morning of the 21st. A secondary low pressure system formed on the system's triple point over North Carolina that morning and moved northeast passing Cape Cod as it became the primary low pressure system early in the evening on the 21st. The secondary low pressure system helped maintain surface winds from the northeast and kept temperatures below freezing until the event ended on the morning of the 21st.

Strong, gusty northwest winds occurred across most of Eastern Pennsylvania during the morning of the 30th. Peak wind gusts averaged around 45 mph. Most of the highest gusts occurred over higher terrain locations. Peak wind gusts included 44 mph in Coatesville (Chester County), Mount Pocono (Monroe County) and Willow Grove (Montgomery county), 43 mph in Doylestown (Bucks County), 41 mph in Reading (Berks County), 39 mph at the Philadelphia International Airport and 38 mph at the Lehigh Valley International Airport. The gusty northwest winds occurred after a cold front moved through the region during the morning of the 30th. The associated low pressure system and the subsequent tight pressure gradient (difference) between it and the approaching high pressure system was not that large. Thus winds diminished quickly during the afternoon of the 30th.

A major winter storm tracked from eastern Colorado to northern Missouri and then to central Illinois December 18-19, 2008, and was the most significant winter event of the month. Heavy snow accumulations of 6 to 10 inches were widespread across northeast Iowa and northwest Illinois, mainly north of Highway 30. Roughly along the Interstate 80 corridor, 2 to 4 inches of sleet and up to 1/2 inch ice accumulations were reported. Locations south of I-80 in southeast Iowa, western Illinois and northeast Missouri experienced a major ice storm. Ice accumulations of 1/4 to nearly 1 inch were common, with many trees and branches down due to the weight of the ice. Scattered thunderstorms also developed helping to produce the heavy precipitation amounts. Power outages of up to a week occurred, especially in western Illinois, due to the ice storm.
