A cold front swept through the area during the early morning of the 16th, as surface low pressure tracked across southern Canada into the Minnesota arrowhead. Behind the cold front, temperatures dropped quickly and northwest winds increased. Many locations across the area saw wind gusts in the 45 to 60 mph range. U. S. Highway 2 was closed from East Grand Forks to Crookston due to whiteout conditions. Quite a few schools and events were also closed during the storm. Conditions were the worst in open country when snow was falling.

An arctic cold front sweep through southeast Ohio just after midnight on Monday the 6th.   Rain showers and temperatures in the 40s quickly became snow showers with temperatures falling through the 20s by the predawn hours.
During these predawn hours, an Athens County woman with mental health issues went outside in Knollwood Trailer Park.  This mobile home park was located just southwest of the city of Athens.  She apparently slipped and fell a few times on driveways.  Detectives concluded she staggered and collapsed in a yard.  She was not found until after daybreak and likely died of exposure.
Snow accumulations across southeast Ohio were less than 2 inches.  Temperatures continued to fall during the day on the 6th, with blustery winds.  Readings reached down to either side of zero by sunset.
Temperatures at dawn on the 7th were mostly 5 below zero to 10 below zero.  Wind chill readings bottomed out around minus 25 degrees overnight and into the morning hours.
Despite sunshine, temperatures were slow to rise during the day on the 7th.  However, the wind did subside during the mid and late afternoon.
A scattering of frozen pipes, power outages, home furnace difficulties, and vehicular engine problems occurred during the cold wave.  Repair companies were kept busy.  School systems were closed.

A ridge of high pressure off the west coast along with a low pressure system dropping south through the inter-mountain west brought light precipitation to the Sierra Nevada on the 29th and 30th, with some rain and snow in the Kern county mountains as well. Although only a few inches of snow fell over the mountains of Kern county, it was enough to cause the closure of Interstate 5 by late afternoon on December 30. The snow also caused ice and snow covered roads on Highway 166 near Grocers Grade near the Kern-San Luis Obispo county line. This system also brought strong northeast winds over the Sierra Nevada on December 30 and 31, resulting in trees being blown down, power outages, and a ski lift being disabled, stranding 40 people on the lift.

Snow amounts of 2 to 3 inches fell across parts of the Kern County Mountains, mainly near and west of Interstate 5. Snowy and icy roads resulting in the closure of Interstate 5 over the grapevine overnight. Snowy roads also was a factor in a 15 car pileup along highway 166 over Grocers Grade near the Kern-San Luis Obispo county line. This resulting in the closure of highway 166 for several hours.
A wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain occurred at the onset of precipitation associated with a strong nor'easter during the morning of the 9th.  Ice accumulations averaged one-tenth to one-quarter of an inch with the highest amounts over the higher terrain. Untreated roadways and walkways were hazardous. Icy conditions were reported throughout most of Sussex and Warren Counties as well as parts of western Morris County and northern Hunterdon County. Schools in Hackettstown (Warren County) had delayed openings. Isolated power outages were reported in Sussex County.
In northwest New Jersey, precipitation started briefly as sleet from south to north between 3 a.m. EST and 5 a.m. EST on the 9th. Precipitation then changed to freezing rain quickly within the hour of onset and then changed to plain rain between 6 a.m. EST and 8 a.m. EST on the 9th.
Ice accumulations included .25 inches in Milford (Hunterdon County) and Allamuchy (Warren County), .15 inches in Hopatcong (Sussex County) and Mount Olive (Morris County) and .10 inch in Andover (Sussex County) and Fredon (Sussex County).
The cold air, especially near the surface, was supplied by a high pressure system that moved across the southern tier of Canada and reached the Canadian Maritimes overnight on the 8th. Meanwhile, a low pressure system formed off the Carolina coastal waters on the 8th. It tracked northward and deepened as it reached the Delmarva coastal waters at 7 a.m. EST on the 9th. The low pressure system deepened 12 millibars in six hours and was off the New Jersey coastal waters at 1 p.m. EST on the 9th. The track and rapid intensification helped bring warmer air near the surface into northwest New Jersey and changed precipitation to plain rain. The low pressure system stopped intensifying and drifted off to the northeast reaching the Rhode Island coastal waters during the evening of the 9th and eastern Massachusetts around Midnight EST on the 10th.

A wintry mix of precipitation affected the Poconos, Lehigh Valley, Berks County and the far northern Philadelphia suburbs from the late morning into the evening of the 2nd. A combination of snow, sleet and freezing rain occurred and caused slippery traveling conditions on untreated roadways. Snow and sleet accumulations were less than an inch and mainly confined to the Poconos while ice accumulations were around one tenth of an inch or less.
Precipitation started as snow in nearly all areas from south to north during the late morning and early afternoon of the 2nd. It changed over to sleet from south to north during the first half of the afternoon and then to freezing rain during the middle of the afternoon.  Precipitation changed to plain rain during the first half of the evening, except in the Poconos where the transition took the entire evening into the very early morning of the 3rd.
Representative snow and sleet accumulations included 0.5 inches in Tannersville (Monroe County), 0.4 inches in Bowmanstown (Carbon County) and 0.3 inches in Stroudsburg (Monroe County) and Palmerton (Carbon County).
The wintry mix was caused by double barrel low pressure systems. During the afternoon of the 2nd, one low pressure system was located in the Tennessee Valley, while the second was off the Delmarva Peninsula. The Delmarva low pressure system became the stronger low overnight and managed to bring in warmer air at the surface into Eastern Pennsylvania. As the low pressure system passed south of the Twin Forks of Long Island, the rain ended before sunrise on the 3rd.

Rain changed to snow from northwest to southeast as temperatures fell in the wake of an arctic cold front. A short period of freezing rain and sleet occurred during the transition. Along and northwest of a line from Carbondale to Benton to Fairfield, a total of 4 to 8 inches fell. The snow fell heavily at times, reducing visibility to as low as one-quarter mile at times. Snowfall rates were around an inch per hour. Southeast of a Carbondale to Fairfield line, total snowfall was from 1 to 3 inches, except less than an inch in the Ohio River counties. Some specific snowfall accumulations included 8 inches at Mount Vernon (Jefferson County), 6 inches at Du Quoin (southeast Perry County), 6 inches at Campbell Hill (extreme northwest Jackson County), and 4 inches at Dahlgren (Hamilton County). Roads were reported to be snow-packed and slick. Gusty winds caused blowing and drifting of snow, which resulted in low visibilities. A layer of slush under the snow froze solid. A low pressure system tracked northeast from central Arkansas across the Lower Ohio Valley. Rain changed to snow on the northwest side of the low track.

A Nor'easter brought a wintry mix of precipitation during the midday hours in New Castle County on the 26th.  Snow and sleet accumulations averaged near 1 inch and caused slippery traveling conditions when wintry precipitation was falling. While precipitation started as rain during the early morning of the 26th, as precipitation intensity increased during the midday hours, the rain mixed with and even changed to sleet and snow at times. Thunder was reported during the late morning. As precipitation intensity lessened, precipitation went back to all rain.
Actual snow and sleet accumulations in New Castle County included 1.5 inches in Greenville, 1.4 inches in Hockessin, 0.8 inches in Newark, 0.5 inches in White Clay Creek and 0.3 inches at the New Castle County Airport.
In addition to the wintry precipitation in New Castle County, the onshore flow around the nor'easter caused minor tidal flooding in Sussex County during the daytime high tide cycle on the 26th.  The high tide in Lewes reached 6.26 feet above mean lower low water.  Minor tidal flooding starts at 6.0 feet above mean lower low water.
The wintry mix was caused by a low pressure system that formed in the Gulf of Mexico on a cold front on the 25th.
