Behind this rain, a wake low developed and moved across central Georgia, bringing wind gusts between 35 and 45 MPH.  Because of the saturated soils, a few trees came down with these strong winds.

A strengthening low pressure system tracked across the southern Great Lakes Thursday and Friday (February 7-8) bringing widespread snowfall to Southeast Michigan. Snow started earlier across the Saginaw Valley and the Thumb, bringing the highest snowfall totals of 7 to 10 inches to that region, with generally 3 to 6 inches further south.  Lesser amounts were found south of the Metro Detroit area, as dry air had to be overcome and warm air filtered in ahead of the system.  This lead to a period of freezing rain and sleet, with some locations reporting up to 0.10 inches of ice.
Here are some of the higher snowfall totals reported:
Midland (Midland) 12.0 inches.
Bay Port (Huron) 10.7 inches.
Auburn (Bay) 8.2 inches.
Merrill (Saginaw) 8.0 inches.
Peck (Sanilac) 6.5 inches.

A strong occluded front associated with a mid-970s mb low approached the Western Aleutian Islands from the south. This set up strong winds and snow across the Western Aleutian Islands which resulted in a blizzard warning for that area. This low pressure system is a different storm system than the one producing winter storms over other parts of southern Alaska this same day.

Blizzard in WESTERN ALEUTIANS, ALASKA

Reported by: ASOS

The Shemya (PASY) ASOS reported five hours of borderline blizzard conditions with the peak of the storm producing 1/2 mile visibility in moderate snow driven by Northeast winds sustained at 39 MPH and gusting to 49 MPH. Given the lack of terrain on Shemya, and the distance from the Bering Sea to the ASOS being less than 2 miles, it reasons that nearby Attu Island with its much larger mass and significant terrain saw conditions much lower than at Shemya. However, the lack of any observations from Attu prevents confirmation of this. There were no reports of damage or injuries from this storm.
A triple point low south of the Central Aleutian Islands the afternoon of Sunday, February 17 rapidly strengthened as it moved northward into the Bering Sea. In 24 hours it deepened 30 mb from 988 mb Sunday afternoon to 958 mb on Monday afternoon. The occluded front associated with this low approached the Pribilof Islands and produced blizzard conditions. Aside from the Pribilof Islands, the brunt of this strong storm remained over the Bering Sea and did not move over land.

The occluded front that was moving slowly through the Eastern Bering Sea from the south produced blizzard conditions on both St Paul and St George Island. St George reported the more severe conditions with 1/4 mile visibility in East winds sustained at 56 mph and gusting to 72 mph in the peak of the event. St George also experienced blizzard conditions for 13 hours. St Paul reported blizzard conditions for 5 hours with the most severe conditions being 1/4 mile visibility and East winds sustained at 45 mph and gusting to 60 mph. While there were no reported injuries and no reported damage, school was canceled for Monday, February 18. Government offices and the AC store were closed until noon that day due to snow drifts.
An Arctic front dropping in behind an exiting low pressure area brought some scattered light snow showers, very strong winds of 30 to 50 mph, along with widespread blowing snow.  With the deep existing snow cover along with the new snowfall, ground blizzard conditions occurred from the late morning to the evening across much of northeast South Dakota.  Additional amounts from a trace up to an inch occurred. Frequent whiteout conditions brought extremely hazardous travel, with travel not advised along with several roads closed. Many mortorists were stranded and had to be rescued. Several schools were closed early and opened late on Tuesday the 19th. The highest wind gust was 47 mph at Hayti and Summit.  In part due to the low visibility and blowing snow, a van and a semi collided on U.S. Highway 281 two miles south of Warner around 11 am on the 18th. A women and her 2 children were taken to the hospital with non life threatening injuries.

Early on the 26th, an area of low pressure was located in the MidSouth, with a cold front stretching south across eastern Mississippi and a warm front stretching southeast toward the Georgia/Florida border.  The warm front lifted north through the day as the cold front pushed east.  Another round of significant heavy rainfall occurred during the morning hours, and the rain-cooled air behind the rainfall led to the development of a wake low across eastern Alabama.  As this low moved across Georgia, winds increased enough to bring down isolated trees, especially since the soils were saturated as a result of the recent rains.  One tree fell on a car, killing the occupant.

The Rockdale County Sheriff's Office reported that a large pine tree fell on a pickup truck traveling on Interstate 20 between Sigman Road and the DeKalb County line, killing the occupant.  This accident resulted in a multiple-car pileup, as at least six other cars were involved in crashes as they tried to avoid the truck and the tree. The winds at the time were east at 15 to 20 MPH with gusts to 30 MPH and were associated with a wake low pressure gradient.  Saturated soils due to recent heavy rainfall contributed to the tree falling.

Intense straight line winds on the order of 100 to 110 mph caused extensive damage to two outbuilding type structures composed of wood framing and tin siding in Auburn Township along Rowe Road in Susquehanna county. Strong winds hit the first structure causing nearly complete destruction, with wood framing and tin siding blown directly towards the north-northeast down Rowe Road. Winds then hit the second structure with remnant tin siding and attached roof framing blown directly east across Route 267 into an adjoining field and wooded area. As with the first outbuilding, strong winds caused nearly complete destruction of the second metal-framed building. With the damage pattern extending in a fanned out pattern from location of initial structural damage, the above evidence supports strong straight line wind damage at this location.

A low pressure system that moved from Texas northeast across southern New Jersey brought a wintry mix of precipitation to the Poconos and affected the higher terrain plateau the most on the 26th into the 27th. While valley locations changed over to rain relatively quickly, the change to plain rain over the plateau did not occur until near the end of the event. Snow accumulations were 1 to 2 inches on the plateau but only traces in the valleys while ice accumulations on the plateau averaged two tenths to four tenths of an inch. The combination made for hazardous traveling conditions, but resulted in only isolated power outages.
Precipitation started as snow in all areas during the late afternoon of the 26th and changed to sleet over the higher terrain later that evening and to rain in the valleys. Around Midnight EST on the 27th, the sleet changed to freezing rain over the higher terrain and the freezing rain changed to rain around sunrise on the 27th. The steady rain ended during the middle of the morning on the 27th. Representative snowfall included 1.8 inches in Tobyhanna (Monroe County) and 1.0 inch in Pocono Summit (Monroe County). Representative ice accumulations included 0.4 inches in Summit Hill (Carbon County).
The low pressure system that produced the wintry mix over the higher terrain moved from Texas on the morning of the 25th east into Alabama on the morning of the 26th. The low pressure system then moved northeast and reached central North Carolina during the early evening on the 26th, northern Delaware at 7 a.m. EST on the 27th,  near New York City at 1 p.m. EST on the 27th and just south of Rhode Island at 7 p.m. EST on the 27th. The counterclockwise circulation around the low pressure combined with a high pressure system over Maine and the Canadian Maritimes to keep cold air in place at the surface on the plateau.
