A trained spotter in La Porte, IN reported a snowfall storm total of 6.1 inches. The bulk of the snow fell late November 17th into the first half of November 18th, as an intense single lake effect band slowly migrated through far northwest Indiana and southwest Lower Michigan. The rest of the region generally reported between 2 and 5 inches. The snow created icy road conditions, which resulted in a few accidents across the area.

Weak convection developed along an ill defined stationary boundary at the surface over portions of east central kansas during the peak heating hours.  While the convection amounted to little more than an enhanced cumulus field, there were several reports of funnel clouds reaching three quarters of the way to the ground.  No tornadoes were reported, and funnel cloud formation was likely due to the typical dynamics associated with landspout tornadoes, although the stationary frontal boundary was very diffuse and difficult to locate.

A strong cold front and associated upper trough were moving through the mid south into the southeast during the afternoon of the 8th.  A wedge front was located across extreme southern Georgia and northern Florida, with a relatively stable air mass over most of the region.  Bands of heavy rain showers developed along and ahead of the front in west Georgia during the early afternoon and began spreading rapidly eastward. While instability was minimal, thanks to the wedge front, strong shear associated with the upper system allowed one brief EF0 tornado to develop in north Fayette county causing considerable damage to a large shopping mall area.

A significant snowstorm brought heavy wet and record snowfall to the Billings Forecast Area. As an upper low dropped south into southern Nevada Friday, October 10th, before making a turn to the northeast reaching Eastern Montana on October 12th, persistent overrunning and upslope flow brought a long duration snow event to the forecast area. Snowfall began in many areas on the evening of Thursday, October 9th and continued through Sunday, October 12th. The most intense portion of the storm with the heaviest snowfall rates occurred Saturday night October 11th into Sunday morning October 12th as the main upper low ejected out across the forecast area. With the high water content of the snow, many large tree limbs and power lines were brought down by the weight of the snow. Temperatures were also well below normal for this time of year. The following are snow totals received from Sheridan County:

A strong area of low pressure moved across southern Canada on October 28th and 29th.  An arctic cold front trailing this low swept across northwestern Pennsylvania late on the 28th ushering much colder air into the region.  Northwest flow behind this front caused lake effect snow showers to develop during the evening hours of the 28th.  This activity intensified during the early morning hours of the 29th.  Locally heavy snowfall was reported along with a few accidents.  The snow was very wet and heavy and caused scattered power outages.

A strong cold front continued to march eastward through the state along with an upper low that was closing off over the southeast United States.  A weak stationary front and low pressure area remained stationary across far south Georgia along the Florida border.  Thunderstorms developed across south Georgia during the mid-morning hours and spread northward into the southern portions of central Georgia by late morning.  The storms took on the nature of isolated supercell thunderstorms and produced large hail and damaging winds.  The severe thunderstorms were short-lived and dissipated quickly after the noon hours.
