Reported by: Department of Highways

Runoff from heavy rainfall closed the intersection of highways 491 and 160 due to fast flowing water in excess of 6 inches deep flowing over the roadway.
Following a strong cold front early on the 9th, a fast-moving upper trough in northwest flow passed over the South Plains late on the 9th and early on the 10th accompanied by a very narrow, but impressive band of moderate to occasionally heavy snow. Even with mild ground temperatures and the fast movement of the snow band, the season's first snow resulted in accumulations around 1/2 inch over much of the South Plains. Muleshoe received the most snow at 1 inch. From midnight through the early morning of the 10th, very cold temperatures in the lower teens and single digits above zero led to hazardous road conditions. Several vehicle accidents were reported by DPS officials, particularly in Lubbock. A fatal vehicle rollover occurred west of Reese Center on Highway 114 after a minivan encountered an icy patch and slid off the road.

The month of December provided a few opportunities for improvement in drought conditions across the Oklahoma Panhandle, but fell short of showing significant improvement. Exceptional (D4) drought affects all of Beaver County and most of Texas County. Extreme (D3) drought affects the northwest corner of Texas County and the southern half of Cimarron County. Severe (D2) drought affects the northern half of Cimarron County.
Multiple snow events provided the Oklahoma Panhandle with some much needed moisture. Guymon recorded 0.97 inches of precipitation (0.33 inches above normal) for the month. Overall this month ranked as the 43rd warmest and 55th wettest December on record for the Oklahoma Panhandle. As December came to an end so did the warmest 1 year, 2 year, and 3 year period on record for the Oklahoma Panhandle.
Limited dormant fuels remain in prime condition for the spread of fires across the Panhandle. But given the recent wetting rains a marginal improvement was noted in the Keetch-Byram Drought Index for the Oklahoma Panhandle as it now falls within the 600 to 800 range.
The recent rains did little to help the growth of dryland winter wheat as crops had already failed or failed to emerge in some counties. Irrigated fields showed average growth but have required significant supplemental watering. The Palmer Drought Severity Index showed improvement for the Oklahoma Panhandle as the rating was increased to moderate drought from extreme drought. Water watches remain in effect for several public water systems through December while voluntary to mandatory water restrictions have been enacted.
Economic losses due to the drought through December were estimated near $15 million (D3)/25 million (D4) a county, and were predominately the result for poor growth of winter wheat, heavy supplemental watering, and supplemental feed for cattle in pastures and rangeland.

A strong cold front moved across the Texas Panhandle during the afternoon and evening hours on the 19th. Behind the front, strong mid-level winds mixing to the surface with a strong surface pressure gradient over the Texas Panhandle to result in several hours of 30 to 45 mph sustained surface winds with wind gusts up to 64 mph.  During the same time light snow showers formed over the Southern Plains. The combination of strong winds and snowfall reduced visibilities on area roads to near whiteout conditions in Dalhart (Dallam County), Texline (Dallam County), Dumas (Moore County), Amarillo (Randall County), Canadian (Hemphill County), and Perryton (Ochiltree County). By 7:30 PM CST snow showers ended as the upper level support for these showers had moved well east of the area. Light snow accumulations of less than an inch were reported across the Texas Panhandle.

Four-days of heavy snowfall left several feet of snow in the Seldovia/Homer/Anchor Point, Alaska area resulting in widespread power outages in the communities and two sunken fishing vessels.  The snow initially began early Saturday, December 22nd, as a large convective band setup across the southern Kenai Peninsula.  The band remained nearly stationary through Sunday night/early Monday.  NOAA Kasitsna Bay Laboratory reported two-feet of snowfall by Saturday afternoon, followed by an additional 30 from Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon.  While the convective band ceased by Monday, heavy snow continued through Christmas Eve (Monday) and Christmas Day (Tuesday) as a trough moved into the area from the west.  Measurements after Sunday were more difficult to obtain as much of the area was in panic mode dealing with power outages and broken snow removal equipment.  Snow diminished rapidly Wednesday, December 26th, followed by light rain.  Four to five feet of compacted (and rained on) snow was measured after the episode was over throughout the impacted area.  Diesel and hydraulic fluid from the sunken fishing vessels closed several oyster farms in Jakolof Bay.  The value of the fishing vessels, spill clean up, and oyster farm damages is presently unknown and not included in the property damage amount.

A low pressure system that passed just south of the Eastern Shore during the morning of the 21st brought a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain to the area. Snowfall in Cecil County averaged 1 to 3 inches with an inch or less across the rest of the Eastern Shore. Ice accretions averaged around one tenth of an inch.
Snow overspread the Eastern Shore between Midnight EST and 2 a.m. EST on the 21st. The snow changed to sleet and freezing rain from around 3 a.m. EST in Talbot and Caroline Counties northward to around 6 a.m. EST in Cecil County. The wintry mix persisted in the northern part of the Eastern Shore until the precipitation ended by the middle of the afternoon on the 21st. Precipitation became spottier after 9 a.m. EST. In the southern part of the Eastern Shore, the sleet and freezing rain changed to plain rain around 6 a.m. EST on the 21st and stayed mainly rain until it ended in the middle of the afternoon on the 21st.
Representative snowfall included 2.5 inches in Elkton (Cecil County), 2.0 inches in Conowingo (Cecil County), 0.8 inches in Galena (Kent County) and 0.5 inches in Greensboro (Caroline County), Easton (Talbot County) and Saint Michael's (Talbot County).
The low pressure system responsible for the wintry mix formed on a cold front over the Southern Plains on the 20th. At 7 p.m. EST on the 20th, it reached Arkansas. It moved northeast and reached Kentucky at 1 a.m. EST on the 21st, the lower Chesapeake Bay at 7 a.m. EST on the 21st, just east of Cape May, New Jersey at 10 a.m. EST on the 21st and about 100 miles east of the New Jersey coast at 1 p.m. EST on the 21st. The track of the low pressure system made it difficult for warm air to move in at the surface in the northern part of the Eastern Shore, even if it warmed enough aloft to change the snow to either sleet or freezing rain.

Over a period of 5 days, a large, complex and dangerous storm system moved into Idaho and western Montana. This storm had a number of factors that interacted to produce a wide range of snowfall totals, precipitation types and temperature ranges. First, a very cold arctic airmass moved out of Canada into eastern Montana and then filtered across the divide into western Montana. Second, a large Pacific storm moved in from the west, this system had an abundent moisture feed, as well as jet stream support.
