In addition to the heavy snow, the nor'easter produced strong gusty northeast winds along the New Jersey coast from the morning into the evening of the 19th. This onshore flow also produced minor tidal flooding during the morning high tide on the 19th in Atlantic and Cape May Counties. Isolated minor tidal flooding also occurred with the morning high tide on the 20th in Atlantic County. About 3,000 homes and businesses lost power in Cape May County with Ocean City hit the hardest. The 9th Street Bridge was closed until the 21st in Ocean City because a tugboat broke free from its moorings and crashed against the bridge. Service was interrupted on the Cape May/Lewes Ferry on the 19th and 20th. The morning high tide on the 19th forced the closure of three bridges in Cape May County: The George Redding Bridge into Wildwood, The Townsend's Inlet Bridge between Avalon and Sea Isle City and the Beesleys Point Bridge between Upper Township and Somers Point.
Peak wind gusts averaged around 50 mph and included 52 mph at Barnegat Light (Ocean County), 49 mph at the Atlantic City Marina (Atlantic County), 45 mph at Seaside Heights (Ocean County), 43 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic County) and 40 mph in Cape May (Cape May County).
The high tide on the morning of the 19th reached 7.45 feet above mean lower low water at the Cape May Ferry Terminal (minor tidal flooding starts at 6.7 feet above mean lower low water) and 6.25 feet above mean lower low water in Atlantic City (minor tidal flooding starts at 6.00 feet above mean lower low water).
The strong winds and tidal flooding were caused by an intense nor'easter that moved from the northern Gulf of Mexico on the morning of the 18th northeast to around Cape Hatteras, North Carolina at sunrise on the 19th and then about 400 miles east of Seaside Heights, New Jersey at sunrise on the 20th. The strongest onshore flow occurred on the 19th and then slowly decreased that evening and overnight as the low pressure system moved farther offshore.

Dickenson and Buchanan Counties were hit hard by heavy wet snow associated with a storm that moved out of the eastern Gulf of Mexico and across southern Georgia late Friday, the 18th.  The storm then moved off the North Carolina coast early on the 19th.
The precipitation started as rain in the river valleys during the early afternoon of the 18th, then switched over to heavy wet snow for the late afternoon and evening hours.  The heavy wet snow was described as like walking in cement with huge flakes falling. Roads over the higher terrain quickly became impassible.  Tree limbs began to snap when snow accumulations reached around 4 inches.  By 1900E on the 18th, Nora on Long Ridge in Dickenson County already had a 7 inch accumulation.  By 2000E, Clintwood measured 8 inches.   By midnight, the heaviest snow rates were over, but less intense snow continued to fall until the afternoon on the 19th.
The total snow accumulations from the storm were just 5 to 7 inches along some of the river valleys, such as near Grundy.  Near Clintwood, the snow accumulation was 11 inches. However, amounts of 1 to 2 feet of snow were measured above 2000 feet.   For example, Nora measured 16 inches.
Governor Kaine declared a state of emergency for the entire Commonwealth.
The pop, cracks, crashes, and boom sounds were heard as numerous tree branches and even whole trees fell to the ground.   The worst impact of the storm, was the fact that the electricity was out for most residents for several days, including Christmas.  Some residents had to wait almost until New Years Eve for their electricity to be restored.  Refrigerated food was lost.  The American Red Cross had shelters in Clintwood and Grundy.

The combination of melting snow and heavy rain produced field and  poor drainage flooding along the Eastern Shore, especially in Cecil County. Rain began falling during the evening of the 25th and fell at a nearly state rate, until it ended about twenty-four hours later during the evening of the 26th. Event precipitation totals average 1 to 2 inches with the highest amounts in Cecil County.
The steady rain was caused by a strong southerly flow of air from the Gulf of Mexico around an intense low pressure system that spent much of the 25th and 26th in Iowa before weakening and drifting to the northeast. The rain ended after this low's occluded front moved through the state.

A powerful and deep upper level trough of low pressure moved quickly across Texas and Louisiana on Friday, December 4, 2009.  At the same time, a strong area of surface low pressure developed in the western Gulf of Mexico.  Meanwhile, a cold Arctic airmass filtered southward through the southern United States.  All of these factors combined to produce a large area of rain along the Texas coast during the morning hours, which then spread northeastward across southeast Texas during the late morning and afternoon hours. As temperatures gradually cooled, the rain began to mix with and eventually change over to snow from west to east across the area.  Snow fell for many hours across much of southeast Texas.
Total snow accumulations across southeast Texas ranged from just a dusting up to 3 inches, with the heaviest amounts in one mesoscale band that stretched from Houston to Kountze to Kirbyville to Newton. Some snowfall totals included 2.5 about 5 miles north of Silsbee, 2 in Kountze, 1.2 in Wildwood, 1 in Lumberton, 0.5 in downtown Beaumont, a trace at the Southeast Texas Regional Airport, and a trace at Jasper.
Although this did not set an official record due to no measurable snowfall at the Southeast Texas Regional Airport, this was unofficially the earliest snowfall on record in southeast Texas.

Strong south to southwest winds occurred during the day of the 9th preceding a cold frontal passage late in the afternoon. Peak wind gusts averaged around 45 mph and coupled with the heavy rain, helped knock down shallow rooted trees, weak tree limbs and wires across the Eastern Shore.

A weak low pressure system dropped a wintry mix of precipitation across New Castle and Kent Counties in Delaware.  Snowfall averaged 1 to 2 inches with ice accretions less than one tenth of an inch. Precipitation began as a wintry mix across Kent County and snow in New Castle County around  4 a.m. EST. The snow changed to a wintry mix before it ended in New Castle County and rain before it ended in Kent County. All precipitation ended by Noon EST.  The precipitation's timing coupled with high traffic volume resulted in numerous accidents.

A cold air mass prevailed across much of the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. with below normal temperatures.

The first measurable snow of the winter season accumulated 1 to 2 inches across New Castle County. Most of the accumulations occurred on non-paved surfaces, bridges and overpasses. Precipitation started as rain around 6 a.m. EST on the 5th. As the precipitation intensity increased and the low pressure system moved farther offshore, the rain changed to snow around Noon EST. The snow ended by the middle of the evening. Accumulations included 1.5 inches in Newark and 1.0 inch in Bear and at the New Castle County Airport.
The combination of spring tides associated with the recent full moon and the onshore flow around the low pressure system produced minor tidal flooding at the time of the morning high tide in Sussex County. The high tide at Breakwater Harbor (Sussex County) reached 6.43 feet above mean lower low water (minor tidal flooding starts at 6.0 feet above mean lower low water)
The precipitation was caused by a low pressure system that formed off the North Carolina coastal waters during the early morning of the 5th. The low moved rapidly northeast and at 7 p.m. EST on the 5th was already about 200 miles east of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
