Even while a couple of cold fronts moved through Deep South Texas at the end of November and lowered the temperatures, these were primarily dry frontal passages, with the majority of the rainfall  confined to the coastal counties and offshore, leaving the western counties high and dry. The area of Severe (D2) Drought seen at the end of November expanded to include most of Zapata County and the western half of Starr County.

A fast-moving winter storm system impacted northern New Mexico with heavy snow, bitter cold temperatures, and strong winds on December 12-13, 2020. This storm system produced heavy snowfall in a short period of time across the northern high terrain and parts of northeast New Mexico near the Colorado border. Snowfall rates of one to two inches per hour led to low visibility and significant accumulations in around 12 hours. Much of the northern mountains picked up eight to 14 inches with localized amounts as a high as 20 inches. Very cold temperatures and strong winds over northeast New Mexico led to the closure of U.S. Highway 64 between Raton and Clayton.

An area of low pressure tracked northward off the East Coast toward New York City on Wednesday, December 16, then eastward to just off Cape Cod on Thursday, December 17. As a result, cold enough air north of this low led to moderate to heavy snowfall across all of eastern New York and western New England.  Snow started across northwestern Connecticut during the late afternoon hours on Wednesday, December 16 and continued through the overnight hours before gradually winding down during the morning hours on Thursday, December 17.
Bands of heavy snow occurred with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour reported at times. Snowfall totals generally ranged between 10 and 20 inches across northwestern Connecticut.
Schools across Litchfield County were closed on Thursday, December 17. The governor banned tractor trailers from limited access highways during the storm. The city hall building in Torrington was closed due to the snow.

A vigorous winter system impacted the area, resulting in rapidly falling temperatures with the cold front passage, strong winds statewide regularly gusting to or over 50 mph, and blizzard conditions in northwest Iowa where snow accumulation was greatest. Synoptically, two areas of low pressure merged across northern Iowa and lifted northeast, pulling a cold front across the area. Precipitation developed along the initial cold front, though better moisture and additional snow fell within the deformation zone of the system. Winds remained elevated during this time, resulting in widespread diminished visibility across northern Iowa much of the afternoon and evening.

An area of low pressure tracking from the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay advected in an unseasonably warm air mass into the region from Thursday, December 24 to Friday, December 25, 2020. Rain gradually overspread the region from west to east during the day on December 24 with the steadiest, heaviest rainfall during the overnight hours and early morning hours of December 25. Rain showers continued through the day on December 25 and changed to snow showers during the evening and overnight hours of December 25-26 as colder air returned.
The region still dealt with nearly the entire snowpack from the blockbuster winter storm from December 16-17. While the snow compacted over time, very little water was lost from the snow. Observations concluded that between 1.50 to 2.50 inches of water was in the snowpack prior to this event and most if not all of this snow melted. However, impactful flooding was not noted during this event.
Rainfall totals across northwestern Connecticut were between 1.00 and 3.00 inches. These amounts do not include the additional 1.50 to 2.50 inches of water that melted from the snowpack. In addition to the rainfall, gusty winds accompanied the event with wind gusts reaching 45 to 60 mph, resulting in numerous reports of downed trees across the region.
Key Impacts: tree damage.
