A cold front moved through the region on 1/13/13 with a line of thunderstorms producing scattered wind damage in northwest Alabama. Excessive rainfall developed across north Alabama as the cold front began to slowly stall out across the area. Much colder air filtered into the region behind the front. This shallow cold air mass, combined with over-running precipitation across the area,  resulted in periods of freezing rain across much of north Alabama.
