Periods of light snow began during the very early morning hours before sunrise Saturday, January 31st, primarily along and east of Highway 281. The temperature profile was very marginal, but snow continued to fall through the day. It did mix with rain at times. Due to its persistence, some wet accumulations of 1 to 2 inches occurred on grassy surfaces. During the evening hours, snow became widespread as an organized snow band formed in the deformation zone of an intensifying low pressure center. Snow fell over nearly all of north central Kansas for a time, but the heaviest and most persistent snow fell where it had been snowing during the daylight hours of Saturday, east of Highway 281. By 4 am CST Sunday, the accumulating snow ended and exited into northeast Kansas. However, some smaller bands of light snow lingered through mid-morning. Storm total snowfall was generally 2 to 5 inches from eastern Smith into Jewell counties. The highest amount of 5.8 inches was measured at Mankato. As the snow ended, north winds dramatically increased as the low pressure system organized. Winds were sustained around 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. The cooling of the temperature profile allowed for the snow character to become drier after sunset. The result was significant blowing and drifting that lasted through the afternoon hours. The visibility was below one mile at times in blowing snow.
The initial wet snow Saturday occurred in warm air advection, in the entrance region of a 150 kt upper-level jet streak. The forcing for precipitation changed, however, as an arctic cold front sagged into Nebraska with lee cyclogenesis occurring ahead of it over southeastern Colorado. As the front continued moving south into Kansas Saturday night, the weak low left Colorado and progressed east along the front. It was located near Kansas City by daybreak Sunday and advanced east into Indiana by sunset. It was this low that was responsible for the majority of the snowfall accumulation which occurred Saturday night. The central pressure never lowered to less than 1005 mb and there was no deepening. However, the pressure gradient was significant northwest of the low, resulting in the strong winds. As with much of this winter, the flow aloft was split with a ridge along the West Coast, a closed low over the Desert Southwest, and confluent flow into the trough over the eastern United States. This low formed as a result of a shortwave trough that came out of western Canada and amplified as it approached the longwave trough.

After the arctic deep freeze at dawn on the 20th, snow, sleet, and freezing rain overspread far western Virginia around 0300E on the 21st.  After 1 to 2 inches of wet snow in the river valleys, the snow changed to freezing rain for 3 to 4 hours during the morning. The cold ground temperatures allowed freezing rain to continue even with air temperatures of 33 and 34 degrees.  Ice accumulations reached a maximum of a quarter of an inch. The freezing rain became mostly rain by midday for these low elevations.  However, in the higher terrain of eastern Buchanan and eastern Dickenson Counties, wet snow continued into the afternoon before ending as drizzle that evening.  Clintwood observed 4 to 5 inches of snow.  One spotter from the Sandy Ridge area, near the Wise County border, reported 18 inches of snow.
Total melted precipitation totals were over 1.5 inches. Melting slush and snow piles from plowing and shoveling prevented the normal drainage of water. Water pooled on many roads.  Ice filled streams were swollen, but no major flooding occurred.  Ice dams in residential gutters and downspouts allowed runoff to seep into homes.

Strong north winds in the wake of a departing cold front and approaching arctic high pressure system occurred in Sussex County during the mid day hours on the 5th. Peak wind gusts along Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean averaged between 45 and 50 mph and tore down some weak tree limbs. Peak wind gusts included 47 mph in Lewes and 46 mph in Dewey Beach. As the high pressure system moved closer to Delaware later that afternoon, winds slowly diminished.

The very persistent and strong northwest winds that started during the day on the 7th caused blowout tide conditions during the two subsequent low tide cycles during the night of the 7th and morning of the 8th along the tidal Delaware River and its tributaries in New Castle County. The lowest tides occurred during the night of the 7th. At Reedy Island, the lowest tide reached 2.17 feet below mean lower low water. At Delaware City, the lowest tide reached 2.21 feet below mean lower low water.  Blowout tide conditions start at 1.80 feet below mean lower low water. On the 8th, the northwest winds started to decrease and backed more toward the west. Subsequent low tide cycles did not reach blowout tide conditions.

Property damage: 200.00K
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A severe thunderstorm moved northeastward across Crenshaw County and spawned a tornado which tracked from extreme southwest Crenshaw County to east central Crenshaw County.  The tornado initially touched down at EF-0 intensity about 5 miles north of Dozier or about 1 mile northeast of Leon. The tornado varied in strength from EF-1 to EF-2 before dissipating about 4 miles east of Luverne, or about 1 mile south-southwest of Vidette.  The survey showed strong evidence of convergence into the center of the path for just about every single damage location surveyed. Damage along the path was primarily snapped trunks of pine and hardwood trees on both hilltops and valleys. Chicken houses and outbuildings were destroyed. In addition, the tornado resulted in significant damage to a house and car at the end of the path before the tornado quickly dissipated. The path width varied from 40 yards to a maximum of 100 yards, but averaged 60 to 80 yards at most points.
Another upper level disturbance moved across the area with low level moisture allowing for enhanced storm development and decent rainfall rates.

A low pressure system brought some measurable snow at the onset of precipitation in Cecil County on the evening of the 23rd. Precipitation started as snow between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. EST and went back and forth between snow and rain (even some freezing rain) during the evening before changing to rain for the remainder of the event late that evening. In Kent County, precipitation started briefly as snow before quickly changing to rain. Representative snowfall included 0.3 inches in Childs (Cecil County).  Representative ice accumulation included a trace in North East.
The precipitation was caused by a low pressure system which moved along the northern Gulf of Mexico on the evening of the 22nd through the morning of the 23rd. It then started to track to the northeast and was in southeast Alabama on the afternoon of the 23rd and moved through southern Georgia overnight on the 23rd. A second low pressure system formed on its warm front that same night in South Carolina. This would become the primary low pressure system as it too tracked to the northeast.  At 1 a.m. EST on the 24th, it was located near Norfolk, Virginia, 7 a.m. EST on the 24th over the Delmarva coastal waters as it started to intensify rapidly. At 1 p.m. EST on the 24th, the low pressure system was already southeast of Long Island, New York and would pass near Nantucket, Massachusetts later that afternoon.  The lack of a high pressure system north of the system in spite of a favorable track prevented much snow from falling with this system.

Freezing rain at the onset of a protracted precipitation event caused hazardous traveling and walking conditions during the early morning of the 18th in northern parts of New Castle County.  Precipitation started between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. EST and continued through the day. Most locations were above freezing by 9 a.m. EST that morning. Estimated ice accumulations were a trace.  Precipitation spread northward along the eastern seaboard from an inverted trough that extended northward from Georgia into the Delaware Valley. Because there was a broad south to southeast flow aloft preceding a cold front that was in the Ohio Valley on the morning of the 18th, warmer air at the surface was moved into the area and eroded and eliminated all sub-freezing temperatures in Delaware by the middle of the morning on the 18th.
