High pressure over the region began to break down as a cold storm system dropped in out of the Gulf of Alaska on the night of the 26th.  Moist westerly flow enveloped the region as this upper level low sagged down the British Columbia coastline.  Low level flow was primarily out of the east and southeast through the day on the 27th, which created favorable orographic lift in combination with mid level warming.  Accumulating snowfall continued through the early afternoon hours on the 28th, especially closer to the crest.  Storm total accumulations ranged from half a foot furthest from the crest to a foot and a half closer to the crest.

Widespread freezing temperatures continued into December 8th across the San Joaquin Valley. Seven consecutive days of freezing temperatures took it's toll on the citrus crop in the San Joaquin Valley.
According to Citrus Growers' Association California Citrus Mutual, about 35 percent of the mandarin orange crop was lost to frost and freeze damage. The news was a little better for the navel crop, about 15 percent were not expected to make it. Initial estimates were not expected to be severe, however after several weeks of inspecting the citrus crop, it was determined that damages were much worse than first expected.
87 million dollars was spent to protect crops from the extended frost and freeze.

High winds caused damage for several hours across the lower Rio Grande Valley. Pro panel roofing was blown off the Chaves Community Center near the community of La Nutrias on Highway 304 around 2 pm LST. A bit later, a roof blew off a hay barn at the Black and White Dairy in Abeytas, NM west of mile marker 4 on Highway 116. Also, a mobile home on Wallner Road in the Ranchos de Veguita subdivision was blown apart and scattered approximately 300 feet from where it was sitting around 5 pm LST.  No one was home during the incident.  Around the same time, a mobile home was turned on its side near the Veguita Trading Post. Around 11 pm, a large tree was blown down across Highway 304 at mile marker 11.  Several other mobile homes were damaged in northern Socorro County by Able Wash due to the winds, and one fire engine was damaged east of Bernardo.  The strong winds caused sand in the area to pile up on area roadways.  Approximately one foot of sand was noted on the roads west of Bernardo.
A rapidly intensifying low pressure system caused strong northwest winds to occur across the Eastern Shore  from the evening of the 7th into the early morning on the 8th. Peak wind gusts averaged around 45 mph and combined with the heavy rain downed tree limbs and very weak rooted trees in the Eastern Shore. Isolated  power outages occurred.  Peak wind gusts included 46 mph at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport and 40 mph in Salisbury (Wicomico County). The strong winds were caused by the increasing circulation around the same low pressure system that brought heavy rain to the Eastern Shore. The low intensified from 1007 millibars over western North Carolina at 7 a.m. EST on the 7th, to 996 millibars over Delaware at 7 p.m. EST on the 7th, to 989 millibars over Long Island at 1 a.m. EST on the 8th to 978 millibars over Eastport, Maine at 7 a.m. EST on the 8th. The 29 millibar drop in 24 hours qualified it for the meteorological definition of a bombing low pressure system and was the main reason for the strong winds. While the low continued to intensify (it was down to 963 millibars at the mouth of the Saint Lawrence River at 1 p.m. EST on the 8th),  it moved far enough away from the Eastern Shore so that strong winds subsided by sunrise on the 8th.

A cold storm system dropped south from the Gulf of Alaska, bringing waves of precipitation and a few thunderstorms with pea-sized hail to the area. Upslope flow helped to increase precipitation totals in the mountains in general, but the upper-level dynamics caused the highest totals in the San Diego County mountains and surrounding areas. Large flows occurred in the Tijuana River and its tributaries. The snow level dropped to 3500 feet toward the end of the event, resulting in well over a foot of snow at many of the mountain ski resorts.

Low pressure tracked from the eastern Gulf Coast toward the mid Atlantic Coast Friday February 4th, then from the mid Atlantic Coast toward the New York City area during Saturday February 5th. This low, in combination with a weaker surface low tracking northeast from the Tennessee Valley produced a swath of mixed precipitation across much of western Massachusetts during Saturday.
A mix of snow and sleet developed during Saturday morning across the Berkshires, before changing to freezing rain during the early afternoon. The freezing rain then changed to rain by late Saturday afternoon.
The precipitation changed back to snow before ending late Saturday night.
Snow and sleet amounts generally remained under one inch across the Berkshires, although locally higher amounts occurred. Ice accretion from freezing rain generally ranged from one to two tenths of an inch, greatest across higher elevations within the northern Berkshires.
In addition, a line of thunderstorms accompanied by frequent cloud to ground lightning and small hail moved across the Berkshires during Saturday evening, with pea to dime size hail reported in some areas.
The wintry mix created treacherous travel conditions across much of western Massachusetts Saturday afternoon, with numerous traffic accidents reported.
