A narrow cold frontal rain band (NCFRB) crossed central Pennsylvania during the morning hours and produced isolated wind damage. The high shear/low cape environment was indicative low-topped convection along the sharp surface front, accentuated by pre-frontal south/southeasterly flow in excess of 50kts. Instability was the primary limiting factor concerning severe weather potential, with considerable warm-sector cloud cover inhibiting surface heating. The colder air aloft lagged behind the narrow convective band, which lead to weak low-mid tropospheric lapse rates and further reduced the potential for the strong low level winds/momentum from being transferred down to the surface. Precipitation loading was the primary mechanism for mixing down the strong low level winds, which seemed to be largely ineffective given the general lack of concentrated wind damage reports for this event.

A low pressure system that formed over the southeastern United States on the 17th brought rain and then snow to Sussex County. Precipitation started as rain on the 17th, but then changed to snow during the evening of the 17th and ended early in the morning on the 18th.

Representative snowfall included 2.0 inches in Bethany, 1.0 inch in Selbyville and 0.5 inches in Lewes, Seaford and Delmar.

The seasons first arctic outbreak and combined winter storm moved into the Billings Forecast Area during the first week of December. Mild temperatures ended the month of November and continued through the morning of the 2nd. A strong disturbance moved across the area during the afternoon of the 2nd. This disturbance combined with temperatures around 50 degrees for most of the day, resulted in a period of light to moderate rain for a few hours. An arctic front moved into the area by late in the afternoon turning the rain to snow. Temperatures quickly dropped into the teens and single digits during the overnight hours. The initial wet snow that fell onto already wet pavement from the rain quickly froze which resulted in very icy road conditions. The snow, which was heavy at times, continued through the 3rd before ending on the 4th. However, bitterly cold temperatures continued through the 8th with daytime highs only in the single digits above and below zero with overnight lows in the teens below to 30s below zero.
