Another in a series of weather disturbances pushed into the region from the northwest.  This disturbance brought with it a moist sub-tropical plume that rode up over an established high pressure ridge in the eastern Pacific.  Primary forcing mechanisms with this system was isentropic ascent and favorable orographic lift due to low level westerly to southwesterly flow.  The southerly component in the low level flow pattern did result in some warm air advection at low levels with snow levels rising through the event.  Many valley locations did see some heavy, wet snowfall accumulations into the overnight hours on the 29th.  Heaviest accumulations were observed closer to the Montana border in the Central Panhandle Mountains where temperatures stayed colder a bit longer.

Heavy snowfall reports from four to as much as six and a half inches were reported in the valleys.
A cold front passage during the evening hours on the 9th resulted in a favorable northwest flow pattern into the Camas Prairie.  A deep upper level trough of low pressure pushing into the region at the time produced a cold pool that steepened mid-level lapse rates, which resulted in an increasingly unstable environment.  This long duration event continued into the early morning hours of the 11th before drier Canadian air was able to penetrate itself far enough southward onto the Camas Prairie.  By the time the snow ended, Winchester had recorded over a foot of new snowfall.

Heavy Snow in LEWIS AND SOUTHERN NEZ PERCE, IDAHO

A total of 8.4 inches of snowfall was recorded from the evening hours of the 9th through 1900PST on the 10th, and another 5.1 inches was recorded from 1900PST on the 10th through 0415PST on the 11th.
A classic eastern U.S. cold air wedge set up began to evolve from December 7th into December 8th as a large 1038mb Canadian surface high, anchored across eastern Pennsylvania and eastern New York wedged southwestward along the east side of the Appalachians down through Virginia into Georgia.  Meanwhile, a cold front was stalled along the southeast U.S. coast.   In the upper-levels of the atmosphere a deep western U.S. trough was slowly shifting eastward into the central U.S.  Surface low pressure was tracking along the stalled southeast U.S. frontal boundary.  This feature combined with the slowly eastward tracking upper-level trough provided for the development of widespread overrunning precipitation into the cold air mass where temperatures hovered in the upper 20s and lower 30s.  Given that a layer of warmer air with temperatures above freezing was present just 3000 to 4000 feet above the surface, precipitation fell largely in the cold air at the surface as a wintry mix of freezing rain and sleet, with some snow in the northern portions and higher elevations of the Blacksburg County Warning Area (CWA).  This was a near perfect cold air damming/wedge pattern for the mid-Atlantic region and as such proved to be so in terms of winter weather.  Freezing rain with ice accumulations ranging from from 1/10 to 1/4 inch were reported mainly across the foothills of northwest North Carolina.  With warm air aloft, no significant ice accumulations were reported in the Blue Ridge mountains of Ashe and Watauga counties, nor were any significant ice accumulations reported across the further eastward Piedmont counties.
Here are some of the snow, sleet, and freezing rain accumulations reported across northwest North Carolina as of the morning of December 9, 2013:
Stokes (Danbury) - 0.13 inch ice,
(King) - 0.13 inch,
Surry (Dobson) - 0.25 inch ice,
Wilkes (Traphill) - 0.13 inch ice.

The wife and dog made it out of the water, but the man did not and was carried out to sea. A coast guard helicopter and life boat found the man's body later that afternoon and he was pronounced dead.
A strong cold front brought a shallow and very chilly air mass southward into the ArkLaMiss the night of January 13th. The cold air undercut relatively mild air aloft, thus setting the stage for freezing rain over northwest portions of the ArkLaMiss on January 14th. A couple periods of moderate freezing rain accompanied by thunder (which is rare) occurred with temperatures hovering near or just below 32 degrees.

An upper level trough of low pressure moved across the Oklahoma Panhandle on January 29th and caused snow showers during the afternoon and overnight hours. The combination of divergence aloft from a 145 mph to 170 mph jet streak at 300mb, southwesterly winds at 700mb bringing in pacific moisture, and a surface cold front dropping surface temperatures below freezing proved adequate to produce one inch of snow in Boise City (Cimarron County) and several reports of vehicle accidents. The 6 AM CST sounding from the National Weather Service in Amarillo (Potter County, Texas) showed the lowest twelve thousand feet of the atmosphere was extremely dry with dewpoint depressions ranging from 5 to 15 degrees. As upper level forcing increased over the course of the day, dewpoint depressions decreased as evaporative cooling provided by virga lowered atmospheric temperatures within this layer. By the early afternoon a cold front dropped across the area to lower surface temperatures below freezing. The colder airmass behind the front provided the last needed cooling of the lowest layers of the atmosphere and precipitation began in the form of snow. Snow persisted for several hours before coming to an end just before 11 PM CST.  The snow caused several vehicle accidents across Cimarron County as drivers slid off roadways due to slick conditions however, no injuries were reported with these accidents.

Strong to high winds occurred across Delaware from around Midnight EST into the middle of the afternoon on the 31st.  Peak wind gusts reached between 45 mph and 65 mph and downed weak trees, tree limbs and power lines and caused scattered outages. Delmarva Power reported about 5,400 of its customers lost power. All of the high winds and most of the highest wind gusts occurred in the south to southwest flow preceding a cold frontal passage during the early morning on the 31st. However, strong wind gusts near 50 mph continued in the westerly flow following the cold frontal passage during the morning and early afternoon on the 31st.  The cold front moved through the state between 5 a.m.EST  and 6 a.m. EST.
Peak wind gusts included 63 mph in Lewes (Sussex County), 61 mph in Dewey Beach (Sussex County), 56 mph in Dover (Kent County) and Georgetown (Sussex County) and 47 mph at the New Castle County Airport.
The strong to high winds were caused by a land bombing low pressure system that intensified rapidly as it moved through the Great Lakes on January 30th and into Quebec Province on January 31st.  The central pressure of the low pressure system over Illinois deepened from 992 millibars at 7 a.m. EST on the 30th to 968 millibars at 7 a.m. EST on the 31st when it was in Quebec Province.  The low pressure system continued to deepen and the following morning, the pressure was 944 millibars as it was crossing the Labrador Sea (The lowest analyzed pressure with this system was 940 millibars.).  The rapid deepening of the surface low intensified the southerly flow preceding its cold front and then the pressure gradient (difference) between the low pressure system and a high pressure system entering the Northern Plains continued strong winds into the afternoon of the 31st.  The low pressure system movement away from Delaware caused the strong winds to stop later that day.

The month of January showed little to no improvement in drought conditions despite a few chances for precipitation throughout the month. 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.
A couple of snow events provided the Oklahoma Panhandle with some much needed moisture, but fell short of December's above normal precipitation. Guymon recorded 0.31 inches of precipitation (0.09 inches below normal) for the month. Overall this month ranked as the 40th warmest and 45th wettest January on record for the Oklahoma Panhandle.
Limited dormant fuels remain in prime condition for the spread of fires across the Panhandle. The few wetting rain events during the month kept the Keetch-Byram Drought Index for the Oklahoma Panhandle steady state 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 degradation to Severe Drought for the Oklahoma Panhandle. Water watches remain in effect for several public water systems through January while voluntary to mandatory water restrictions have been enacted.
Economic losses due to the drought through January were estimated near $20 million (D3)/$30 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.

An area of low pressure over the Ohio Valley approached the region around midnight on Wednesday, February 27th. Snow, moderate to heavy at times, broke out across the Berkshires during the early morning hours. Light snowfall also developed across the valley areas of western Massachusetts.
Another area of low pressure developed over the mid-Atlantic region and moved northeast inland across the region for the later on the morning of Wednesday, February 27th. The track of this low allowed warmer air, both at the surface and aloft, to move into the region. This allowed the precipitation to change to rain and become spotty across the lower elevations, ending the snow accumulation for these areas.  However, upslope flow allowed steady precipitation to continue across the high terrain of the Berkshires through the day. Although there was some mixing with sleet and freezing rain, the precipitation remained mainly snow for a long enough period of time to allow for moderate accumulations of snow to occur. The steady precipitation tapered off to snow showers during the early morning hours of Thursday, February 28th.
By Thursday, February 28th, storm total snowfall greatly varied according to elevation. While valley areas only had an inch or two, higher elevations across the Berkshires saw up to a foot of snow.
