Accumulating snow impacted the ArkLaMiss on January 16, 2018 with accumulations ranging from �� - 3 inches across much of the area. During the early morning hours on the 15th, a strong arctic cold front was quickly moving through the Central Plains towards the Deep South with an impressive 1050mb surface high pressure ushering in a brutally cold arctic airmass behind the frontal passage. Further aloft in the atmosphere, a closed cold core upper-level low was located over the Upper Midwest with a positively tilted trough axis extending to the west/southwest through the Northern Plains. A 120 kt jet streak diving into the base of the trough helped the trough dig further south and west over the Texas/Oklahoma panhandles as the closed low transitioned into an open wave. By sunrise on the 16th, the trough axis was oriented from Lake Michigan southwest through the Southern Plains with a strengthening upper-level jet stretched from northern Arkansas through Maine. This orientation allowed flow to become more backed out of the southwest which resulted in sufficient moisture return over the ArkLaMiss. At the same time, the arctic cold front had raced well ahead of the upper-level forcing with temperatures plummeting well below freezing. This set the stage for the moist southwest flow aloft to overrun the cold arctic air and produce an anafrontal band of snow as right entrance region jet dynamics overspread the area.

On the morning of January 11th, 2018, an area of low pressure rapidly moved northeast from the Texas Panhandle. As the low pressure area moved northeast, extremely cold temperatures to the northwest of the low plunged south across portions of central and south central Kansas.  This caused the precipitation to rapidly turn over to freezing rain, sleet, and eventually snow. This quick turnover rapidly made roadways very slick, with numerous accidents and slide offs associated with the slippery roadways.  The heaviest snowfall occurred across Northwest Saline County where 4 to 5 inch accumulations were reported.

Low pressure developed off the Florida coast on the 3rd of January before moving north on the 4th. The intense low (956 mb) passed southeast of Nantucket Island during a period of very high astronomical tides. The forecast astronomical tide at Portland was 11.6 feet, close to its 12 foot flood stage. Storm force northeasterly winds developed at high tide , however nearshore waves only reached 8 to 12 feet during this short span of time. The winds produced a storm surge of 2.2 feet in Portland Harbor. The resulting storm tide topped out at 13.8 feet, which was the third highest in modern history (records go back to 1912). The tide remained above flood stage for nearly three hours.

A strong Texas 'norther turned a cool December 31st into a brisk and cold New Year's Eve turn of the calendar, as temperatures crashed into the mid 30s to lower 40s across the ranches north of the populated Rio Grande Valley with wind chill values in the mid 20s to lower 30s with the turn of the year at midnight. Temperatures would continue to plunge, and by daybreak to an hour or two after daybreak reached their lowest points, ranging from the upper 20s in colder spots of the South Texas Brush Country to the lower and mid 30s across the Rio Grande Valley. The low temperatures were joined by very light precipitation, which fell in the form of light sleet and freezing drizzle near Hebbronville early on the 1st but with no known significant impact.

A combination of snow, sleet and freezing rain created slippery travel conditions across portions of southeast Ohio on the morning of the 8th as an upper level disturbance pulled a stream of Gulf moisture north. This moisture moved over a very cold air mass, resulting in the wintry mix of precipitation. Multiple traffic accidents occurred due to icy roads. One resulted in a fatality, in Athens County a semi truck driver lost control and slid over a bridge falling onto the road below. The driver, a 56 year old man from Georgia, died in the accident.

Strong moisture advection ahead of a southern stream low pressure system brought a prolonged period of moderate to heavy rainfall across the middle Ohio River Valley. The rainfall started during the afternoon of the 11th, and continued through most of the day on the 12th. Generally 1 to 2 inches of rain fell, however a localized area of 2 to 3 inches fell across northeastern Washington County. Most of this rain immediately turned to runoff due to a combination of frozen and saturated soil, and caused creeks and streams in northeastern Washington County to spill over their banks.
The river gauge on Duck Creek at Whipple rose above the bankfull level of 11 feet early on the 12th, crested just above 15 feet late afternoon on the 12th, and fell below bankfull by mid morning on the 13th. Portions of State Routes 26, 145 and 821 were closed due to the flooding along Duck Creek.
The river gauge on the Little Muskingum River at Bloomfield also rose above bankfull early on the 12th. The river at Bloomfield crested in moderate flood at about 26 feet, or 10 feet above bankfull during the evening of the 12th, and returned to its banks by late morning on the 13th. The flooding on the Little Muskingum resulted in closures due to high water on State Routes 26 and 260. Bloomfield Church Road also had some high water, and a house and store near the Route 260 bridge had minor flooding issues.
