Rainfall totals in flood damaged areas ranged from 5 to 21+ inches within a 36 hour period. The highest rainfall totals were in Navarro County which suffered significant damage across the entire county. Flood waters derailed a train north of Corsicana and many county and farm-to-market roads were washed away. The flooding in Navarro County persisted for weeks in areas where the water had a very difficult time draining. Rainfall totals near 20 inches also fell in southern Hill County were many roads were covered with water.","Significant flash flooding occurred in Navarro County after over a day of heavy rain produced 15-23 inches of rain in the county. The flood waters remained for over a week in many places after the heavy rain event ended. The first reports of flash flooding were received around 1219 PM CDT as several high water rescues were ongoing in Corsicana and one was reported in Powell. Soon after that, flood waters started covering several roads across the county as the heavy rain continued. By 330 PM CDT, it was reported that most FM roads in the county were impassable due to flooding and several streets in Corsicana were closed. Homes and businesses across the county were flooded during this event. Over 100 roads sustained damage or were washed out. Portions of Interstate 45 were closed on the night of the 23rd and again on the 24th. Swift water rescues were needed along portions of Interstate 45. Flood waters resulted in a 64-car train derailment along Business 45 north of Corsicana. ||The ASOS measured nearly 10 inches of rain in 15 and a half hours.

The gauge failed at 40 feet and the USGS later estimated the crest at 44.9 feet with 175,000 cfs. This height was more than 10 feet over the previous record height of 33.3 feet from 1929. Homes along the banks of the Blanco River from the City of Blanco, through Wimberley, and down to San Marcos experienced an historic flood.  Many homes were totally destroyed and swept down stream.  Many homes were struck by large debris, including full size cypress trees which typically lined the banks of the river.  A house in the 100 block of Deer Crossing Ln. in Wimberley was washed away in the flood with nine people inside. There was one lone survivor while eight others died. Six bodies were recovered and the two small children remain missing.  Several of the bodies were recovered near San Marcos Texas nearly 30 miles downstream. Another fatality occurred when a man was washed away with his vehicle. He was 29 years old and was found on May 26 near FM 2325.

Northerly winds increased in intensity during the day and by early evening were frequently gusting between 50 and 60 mph over the entire South Plains.  These winds created several power outages, minor roof damage, downed tree limbs, and even toppled some trees completely.  By mid-evening on the 26th, exceptionally rich moisture from the Gulf of Mexico deepened over the shallow dome of cold air and resulted in large areas of freezing rain and sleet punctuated by thunderstorms.  This wintry mix quickly changed over to all snow by late evening over the western South Plains as an elevated layer of warm air was eroded.  With winds still frequently gusting to 60 mph, instant whiteout conditions were reported from Morton south to Seminole from heavy snow and blowing snow.||The blizzard expanded slowly east through the night to the edge of the Caprock until mid-level dry slotting arrived on the morning of the 27th which produced a distinct lull in snow and sleet.  Even without falling snow, winds were still gusting from 50 to 60 mph which created ground blizzard conditions even in the city of Lubbock where a mere 2.7 inches of sleet and snow was measured through 6 A.M.  NWS forecasters were keen to alert residents that a second and more potent round of snow was to arrive later in the day once the upper low lifted northeast across central Texas.  Although this second round was initially complicated by sleet at times thanks to a redeveloping warm nose, by late afternoon on the 27th the warm nose disappeared for good as several bands of heavy snow enveloped the South Plains before shifting into the Rolling Plains and the southeast Texas Panhandle overnight and slowly dissipating.  Until that point, areas off the Caprock contended with as much as three inches of sleet and up to 1/2 inch of freezing rain.  Several snowbursts with rates measured as high as 2.7 inches at the NWS Lubbock office produced whiteout conditions and compounded already treacherous travel conditions.  The snow and strong winds quickly tapered off in coverage and intensity from southwest-to-northeast late on the 27th through the pre-dawn hours of the 28th.||Unfortunately, there were two fatalities from this blizzard.  A homeless man in Lubbock succumbed to hypothermia late in the night on the 27th.  He was found wearing only a light jacket, jeans and a thin blanket. No information was known on the second fatality.||Despite full sun and high temperatures reaching the middle 30s on the 28th, thousands of South Plains residents found themselves marooned by tall snow drifts that blocked roads and driveways.  In Lubbock alone, the city Police Dispatch estimated that about 1400 motorists became stuck in snow drifts.  In many areas of the southwest South Plains, rescue operations were conducted for up to 32 consecutive hours to free stranded motorists.  Fortunately, there were very few vehicle accidents as most people became stuck in snow instead of sliding into obstacles or other vehicles.  A large percentage of area residents heeded warnings and avoided travel altogether for several days.  The alarming lack of snow removal resources, particularly in the city of Lubbock which only owned two snow plows at the time, was heavily criticized by taxpayers and some city council members as a total of 98 emergency vehicles became immobilized in snow and were unable to respond to Lubbock residents in a timely manner.  Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson declared a state of disaster for Lubbock during the height of the blizzard which opened the door to additional state aid and resources, however he later stated the city diverted a disaster and could not have prepared any more than it did.  Regional commerce was ground to a halt for two days following the blizzard as many roads were simply too dangerous for travel even for high clearance 4x4 trucks and SUVs.  All flights into and out of Lubbock International Airport were cancelled from the evening of the 26th through the morning of the 28th which left thousands of post-Christmas travelers stranded.  Even USPS Offices region wide were forced to suspend all services on the 28th and 29th due to streets and roads being blocked with snow, although many rural areas did not see normal mail service resume until the following weekend.||Combined economic losses from businesses being closed for up to four days and regional commerce impacts due to impassable roads may approach $200 million.  Direct losses from the storm were most significant to area ranchers and dairy farmers who suffered combined losses of at least $20 million. The USDA estimated 15,000 head of dairy cattle alone died from snow suffocation in the western South Plains and far southwest Panhandle with similar numbers for non-dairy cattle.  This region accounts for 40 percent of Texas' milk supply.  Regional commercial power utilities were also dealt a severe blow from the prolonged high winds that downed hundreds of miles of power lines and toppled some power poles outright.  Scores of rural residents were left without commercial power for up to two days.  Damage estimates for each county listed below also take into account sporadic damage to roofing and shingles, utility sheds, pole barns, gas station overhangs, and countless garage ports.  Some businesses and residential buildings reported sections of roofs failing from heavy snow.  At Texas Tech University, the inflatable roof to the iconic Athletic Training Center (also known as The Bubble) collapsed in the days following the storm from strain caused by 12+ inches of snow on the roof.  The roof was deemed a total loss valued around $8 million, but ironically was scheduled for demolition in Spring of 2016.||Historically, this blizzard was the worst to ever strike Lubbock given the magnitude and duration of strong winds combined with record snow totals for both the 27th and the entire month of December.  Officially at Lubbock Airport, this storm ranked third for the greatest snow ever with 11.2 inches.  From a forecast perspective, the historic potential of this blizzard was explicitly cited three days ahead of time by forecasters at the NWS Lubbock office.  Also, NWS Lubbock decision support members provided local and regional disaster planning officials with six days of advance notice that a significant winter storm stood a high probability of impacting much of the region by Christmas weekend - a feat that would have been impossible decades earlier due to lower quality weather models.||Select storm total snow measurements:|Friona...20.0 inches with 10-foot drifts / |Wolfforth 5S...14.0 inches with 7-foot drifts / |Plains...12.0 inches with 7-foot drifts /|Lubbock Airport...11.2 inches with 6-foot drifts / |Denver City...11.0 inches with 6-foot drifts / |Plainview...10.0 inches / |Hart...9.0 inches / |Shallowater, Levelland, Muleshoe, and Tahoka...8.0 inches /|Post...7.0 inches on top of 2 inches of sleet / |Brownfield, Littlefield, Matador, and Morton...6.0 inches / |Abernathy, Lake Alan Henry and Paducah...5.0 inches / |Childress, Crosbyton, and Tulia...4.0 inches /|Floydada...3.0 inches / |Dickens...2.0 inches snow / 0.50 inches of freezing rain.|Aspermont...1.0 inch snow / 3 inches of sleet.||Notable wind gusts (mph) and times as measured by the West Texas Mesonet (except where noted):|Anton and Olton...67 at 905 PM on the 26th / |Sundown...65 at 815 PM  on the 26th / |Morton...65 at 805 PM on the 26th / |Muleshoe...65 at 520 AM on the 27th / |Amherst...65 at at 220 AM on the 27th / |Reese Center...64 at 930 PM on the 26th / |Levelland...64 at 925 PM on the 26th / |Tulia...64 at 605 AM on the 27th / |Hart...64 at 455 AM on the 27th / |Memphis...63 at 955 PM on the 26th / |Dimmitt...63 at 510 AM on the 27th / |Turkey...62 at 445 AM on the 27th / |Lubbock Int'l Airport ASOS: 61 at 655 AM on the 27th / |Friona...61 at 715 PM on the 26th / |Wolfforth...61 at 540 AM on the 27th / |Denver City...61 at 625 AM on the 27th / |Roaring Springs...60 at 1020 PM on the 26th / |White River Lake...60 at 530 AM on the 27th / |Brownfield...60 at 800 AM on the 27th / |Plains...60 at 445 AM on the 27th / |Abernathy...60 at 755 PM on the 26th / |Spur...59 at 1145 PM on the 26th / |NWS Lubbock Office...52 mph at 817 AM on the 27th.",,CSV,12.00M,12000000

Slow improvement in conditions occurred through Sunday the 4th, with only some residual minor tidal flooding occurring on the 5th along the southern New Jersey coast. ||In excess of 32 million dollars in storm damage occurred along the New Jersey coast, especially along the coasts of Cape May, Ocean, and Monmouth Counties due to the prolonged wind and tidal flooding which caused extensive damage to New Jersey's coastal barrier dune system. As a result, Governor Chris Christie announced that New Jersey would request a Major Disaster Declaration under the federal Stafford Act for these three shore counties. To restore traffic flow and prevent further flooding in these counties, sand removal was performed along storm drains and roadways. In North Wildwood (Cape May County), severe beach erosion occurred leaving 5 foot or higher cliffs carved out of the dunes along sections of the beach, making those areas unsafe and inaccessible. The beaches at Mantoloking and Brick (Ocean County) were closed following the storm due to dangerous drop-offs between a protective steel flood wall and the beach. The severe beach erosion at these locations resulted in drop-offs ranging between 5 to 10 feet.

Rainfall amounts during the month of May across the Upper and Middle Red River basins of Southern Oklahoma and Northern Texas totaled over 20 inches of rain. At Shreveport, Louisiana, the Red River rose above the 30 foot flood stage on May 30th and rose above the 33 foot major flood stage on June 3rd. The Red River in Shreveport crested at 37.14 feet on June 9th which was the highest recorded crest in Shreveport, Louisiana since the flood of 1945. This was the 22nd highest crest at Shreveport, in recorded history at the gauging location with the flood of record being 45.90 feet in 1849. The Red River in Shreveport fell below the 33 foot major flood stage on June 15th and fell below the 30 foot flood stage on June 17th. A secondary rise on the Red River developed because of excessive heavy rainfall once again in the middle Red River Basin from the remnants of Tropical Storm Bill. As a result, the Red River at Shreveport crested again at 31.06 feet on June 30th. Bank erosion was extreme on the Caddo Parish side of the Red River with 5 thousand acres of farmland and pastureland inundated. Hundreds of head of cattle had to be relocated. The United States Highway 259 bridge, Hwy 8 bridge and the Hwy. 71 bridge going over the Red River were closed. In addition, the west bound lane of Interstate 220 was briefly closed as severe backwater flooding brought water over both east and west bound lanes of the interstate.  Other bridges cross the Red River including La. Hwy. 2, Interstate 20, Shreveport/Barksdale and Jimmy Davis Bridges were not affected.  Upwards of 36 roadways across Caddo Parish were closed including Clyde Fant Parkway in Downtown Shreveport, Airport Drive, Grimmett Drive, Crockett Street to Shreveport Barksdale Highway, Russell Road, State Highway 3049 from State Highway 538 to 1 mile north of the Interstate 220 underpass, Perrin Street in the Allendale neighborhood, Oregon Avenue, Wells Island Road, Nash, Brice, Hall, Bonnie and Aline streets off Russel Road and other roads near Cross Bayou, Twelve Mile Bayou, McCain Creek and Middle Bayou. Approximately 150 dwellings were affected with 40 homes completely inundated.  The worst subdivisions affected were the Allendale and Martin Luther King Jr. subdivisions. 38 homes were damaged in the Martin Luther King subdivision, 41 homes in the Allendale subdivision and 6 additional homes in Southeast Shreveport and an unknown number of homes off of Wells Island Road.  Other subdivisions that were threatened included The Haven and Les Maison subdivisions off of East Kings Highway.  These subdivisions which were built inside the Red River levee system were saved due to hundreds of residents sandbagging their homes. The Downtown Shreveport River Front suffered severe river flooding with two feet of water covering the Clyde Fant Parkway and the Barnwell Center portion of Downtown Shreveport.  Sandbagging efforts resulted in no businesses suffering any water damage from the swollen river. The Northwest Louisiana Red Cross opened 2 shelters to house those residents whose homes were threatened or inundated.  The City of Shreveport worked with its partners to protect key city infrastructure including the Amiss Water Plant and the Lucas and North Regional Waste Water Treatment Plants. 255,000 sand bags were made available by local law enforcement and the Louisiana Governor's Office of Homeland Security with 655,000 more sandbags on standby.  The Governor of Louisiana authorized the activation of up to 200 Louisiana National Guardsman on State Active Duty to support flood response efforts in Northwest Louisiana and assist local, parish and state emergency officials. The Louisiana National Guard Engineering Team constructed an 800 linear foot HESCO barrier, consisting of two rows on the bottom and one on the top totalling 2400 linear feet, to fortify a concrete wall located at Clyde Fant Parkway and Jimmy Davis Highway in Shreveport.  Prior to this, the Guardsmen constructed a 610 linear foot temporary berm while assisting Caddo Parish officials to improve protection measures of the Stoner Lift Station.  Caddo, Bossier, Red River, Natchitoches and Grant Parishes signed emergency declarations due to the excessive flooding and disaster teams from The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and The Governor's Office of Homeland & Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) surveying efforts continued as of this writing.

Northerly winds increased in intensity during the day and by early evening were frequently gusting between 50 and 60 mph over the entire South Plains.  These winds created several power outages, minor roof damage, downed tree limbs, and even toppled some trees completely.  By mid-evening on the 26th, exceptionally rich moisture from the Gulf of Mexico deepened over the shallow dome of cold air and resulted in large areas of freezing rain and sleet punctuated by thunderstorms.  This wintry mix quickly changed over to all snow by late evening over the western South Plains as an elevated layer of warm air was eroded.  With winds still frequently gusting to 60 mph, instant whiteout conditions were reported from Morton south to Seminole from heavy snow and blowing snow.||The blizzard expanded slowly east through the night to the edge of the Caprock until mid-level dry slotting arrived on the morning of the 27th which produced a distinct lull in snow and sleet.  Even without falling snow, winds were still gusting from 50 to 60 mph which created ground blizzard conditions even in the city of Lubbock where a mere 2.7 inches of sleet and snow was measured through 6 A.M.  NWS forecasters were keen to alert residents that a second and more potent round of snow was to arrive later in the day once the upper low lifted northeast across central Texas.  Although this second round was initially complicated by sleet at times thanks to a redeveloping warm nose, by late afternoon on the 27th the warm nose disappeared for good as several bands of heavy snow enveloped the South Plains before shifting into the Rolling Plains and the southeast Texas Panhandle overnight and slowly dissipating.  Until that point, areas off the Caprock contended with as much as three inches of sleet and up to 1/2 inch of freezing rain.  Several snowbursts with rates measured as high as 2.7 inches at the NWS Lubbock office produced whiteout conditions and compounded already treacherous travel conditions.  The snow and strong winds quickly tapered off in coverage and intensity from southwest-to-northeast late on the 27th through the pre-dawn hours of the 28th.||Unfortunately, there were two fatalities from this blizzard.  A homeless man in Lubbock succumbed to hypothermia late in the night on the 27th.  He was found wearing only a light jacket, jeans and a thin blanket. No information was known on the second fatality.||Despite full sun and high temperatures reaching the middle 30s on the 28th, thousands of South Plains residents found themselves marooned by tall snow drifts that blocked roads and driveways.  In Lubbock alone, the city Police Dispatch estimated that about 1400 motorists became stuck in snow drifts.  In many areas of the southwest South Plains, rescue operations were conducted for up to 32 consecutive hours to free stranded motorists.  Fortunately, there were very few vehicle accidents as most people became stuck in snow instead of sliding into obstacles or other vehicles.  A large percentage of area residents heeded warnings and avoided travel altogether for several days.  The alarming lack of snow removal resources, particularly in the city of Lubbock which only owned two snow plows at the time, was heavily criticized by taxpayers and some city council members as a total of 98 emergency vehicles became immobilized in snow and were unable to respond to Lubbock residents in a timely manner.  Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson declared a state of disaster for Lubbock during the height of the blizzard which opened the door to additional state aid and resources, however he later stated the city diverted a disaster and could not have prepared any more than it did.  Regional commerce was ground to a halt for two days following the blizzard as many roads were simply too dangerous for travel even for high clearance 4x4 trucks and SUVs.  All flights into and out of Lubbock International Airport were cancelled from the evening of the 26th through the morning of the 28th which left thousands of post-Christmas travelers stranded.  Even USPS Offices region wide were forced to suspend all services on the 28th and 29th due to streets and roads being blocked with snow, although many rural areas did not see normal mail service resume until the following weekend.||Combined economic losses from businesses being closed for up to four days and regional commerce impacts due to impassable roads may approach $200 million.  Direct losses from the storm were most significant to area ranchers and dairy farmers who suffered combined losses of at least $20 million. The USDA estimated 15,000 head of dairy cattle alone died from snow suffocation in the western South Plains and far southwest Panhandle with similar numbers for non-dairy cattle.  This region accounts for 40 percent of Texas' milk supply.  Regional commercial power utilities were also dealt a severe blow from the prolonged high winds that downed hundreds of miles of power lines and toppled some power poles outright.  Scores of rural residents were left without commercial power for up to two days.  Damage estimates for each county listed below also take into account sporadic damage to roofing and shingles, utility sheds, pole barns, gas station overhangs, and countless garage ports.  Some businesses and residential buildings reported sections of roofs failing from heavy snow.  At Texas Tech University, the inflatable roof to the iconic Athletic Training Center (also known as The Bubble) collapsed in the days following the storm from strain caused by 12+ inches of snow on the roof.  The roof was deemed a total loss valued around $8 million, but ironically was scheduled for demolition in Spring of 2016.||Historically, this blizzard was the worst to ever strike Lubbock given the magnitude and duration of strong winds combined with record snow totals for both the 27th and the entire month of December.  Officially at Lubbock Airport, this storm ranked third for the greatest snow ever with 11.2 inches.  From a forecast perspective, the historic potential of this blizzard was explicitly cited three days ahead of time by forecasters at the NWS Lubbock office.  Also, NWS Lubbock decision support members provided local and regional disaster planning officials with six days of advance notice that a significant winter storm stood a high probability of impacting much of the region by Christmas weekend - a feat that would have been impossible decades earlier due to lower quality weather models.||Select storm total snow measurements:|Friona...20.0 inches with 10-foot drifts / |Wolfforth 5S...14.0 inches with 7-foot drifts / |Plains...12.0 inches with 7-foot drifts /|Lubbock Airport...11.2 inches with 6-foot drifts / |Denver City...11.0 inches with 6-foot drifts / |Plainview...10.0 inches / |Hart...9.0 inches / |Shallowater, Levelland, Muleshoe, and Tahoka...8.0 inches /|Post...7.0 inches on top of 2 inches of sleet / |Brownfield, Littlefield, Matador, and Morton...6.0 inches / |Abernathy, Lake Alan Henry and Paducah...5.0 inches / |Childress, Crosbyton, and Tulia...4.0 inches /|Floydada...3.0 inches / |Dickens...2.0 inches snow / 0.50 inches of freezing rain.|Aspermont...1.0 inch snow / 3 inches of sleet.||Notable wind gusts (mph) and times as measured by the West Texas Mesonet (except where noted):|Anton and Olton...67 at 905 PM on the 26th / |Sundown...65 at 815 PM  on the 26th / |Morton...65 at 805 PM on the 26th / |Muleshoe...65 at 520 AM on the 27th / |Amherst...65 at at 220 AM on the 27th / |Reese Center...64 at 930 PM on the 26th / |Levelland...64 at 925 PM on the 26th / |Tulia...64 at 605 AM on the 27th / |Hart...64 at 455 AM on the 27th / |Memphis...63 at 955 PM on the 26th / |Dimmitt...63 at 510 AM on the 27th / |Turkey...62 at 445 AM on the 27th / |Lubbock Int'l Airport ASOS: 61 at 655 AM on the 27th / |Friona...61 at 715 PM on the 26th / |Wolfforth...61 at 540 AM on the 27th / |Denver City...61 at 625 AM on the 27th / |Roaring Springs...60 at 1020 PM on the 26th / |White River Lake...60 at 530 AM on the 27th / |Brownfield...60 at 800 AM on the 27th / |Plains...60 at 445 AM on the 27th / |Abernathy...60 at 755 PM on the 26th / |Spur...59 at 1145 PM on the 26th / |NWS Lubbock Office...52 mph at 817 AM on the 27th.",,CSV,8.00M,8000000

Northerly winds increased in intensity during the day and by early evening were frequently gusting between 50 and 60 mph over the entire South Plains.  These winds created several power outages, minor roof damage, downed tree limbs, and even toppled some trees completely.  By mid-evening on the 26th, exceptionally rich moisture from the Gulf of Mexico deepened over the shallow dome of cold air and resulted in large areas of freezing rain and sleet punctuated by thunderstorms.  This wintry mix quickly changed over to all snow by late evening over the western South Plains as an elevated layer of warm air was eroded.  With winds still frequently gusting to 60 mph, instant whiteout conditions were reported from Morton south to Seminole from heavy snow and blowing snow.||The blizzard expanded slowly east through the night to the edge of the Caprock until mid-level dry slotting arrived on the morning of the 27th which produced a distinct lull in snow and sleet.  Even without falling snow, winds were still gusting from 50 to 60 mph which created ground blizzard conditions even in the city of Lubbock where a mere 2.7 inches of sleet and snow was measured through 6 A.M.  NWS forecasters were keen to alert residents that a second and more potent round of snow was to arrive later in the day once the upper low lifted northeast across central Texas.  Although this second round was initially complicated by sleet at times thanks to a redeveloping warm nose, by late afternoon on the 27th the warm nose disappeared for good as several bands of heavy snow enveloped the South Plains before shifting into the Rolling Plains and the southeast Texas Panhandle overnight and slowly dissipating.  Until that point, areas off the Caprock contended with as much as three inches of sleet and up to 1/2 inch of freezing rain.  Several snowbursts with rates measured as high as 2.7 inches at the NWS Lubbock office produced whiteout conditions and compounded already treacherous travel conditions.  The snow and strong winds quickly tapered off in coverage and intensity from southwest-to-northeast late on the 27th through the pre-dawn hours of the 28th.||Unfortunately, there were two fatalities from this blizzard.  A homeless man in Lubbock succumbed to hypothermia late in the night on the 27th.  He was found wearing only a light jacket, jeans and a thin blanket. No information was known on the second fatality.||Despite full sun and high temperatures reaching the middle 30s on the 28th, thousands of South Plains residents found themselves marooned by tall snow drifts that blocked roads and driveways.  In Lubbock alone, the city Police Dispatch estimated that about 1400 motorists became stuck in snow drifts.  In many areas of the southwest South Plains, rescue operations were conducted for up to 32 consecutive hours to free stranded motorists.  Fortunately, there were very few vehicle accidents as most people became stuck in snow instead of sliding into obstacles or other vehicles.  A large percentage of area residents heeded warnings and avoided travel altogether for several days.  The alarming lack of snow removal resources, particularly in the city of Lubbock which only owned two snow plows at the time, was heavily criticized by taxpayers and some city council members as a total of 98 emergency vehicles became immobilized in snow and were unable to respond to Lubbock residents in a timely manner.  Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson declared a state of disaster for Lubbock during the height of the blizzard which opened the door to additional state aid and resources, however he later stated the city diverted a disaster and could not have prepared any more than it did.  Regional commerce was ground to a halt for two days following the blizzard as many roads were simply too dangerous for travel even for high clearance 4x4 trucks and SUVs.  All flights into and out of Lubbock International Airport were cancelled from the evening of the 26th through the morning of the 28th which left thousands of post-Christmas travelers stranded.  Even USPS Offices region wide were forced to suspend all services on the 28th and 29th due to streets and roads being blocked with snow, although many rural areas did not see normal mail service resume until the following weekend.||Combined economic losses from businesses being closed for up to four days and regional commerce impacts due to impassable roads may approach $200 million.  Direct losses from the storm were most significant to area ranchers and dairy farmers who suffered combined losses of at least $20 million. The USDA estimated 15,000 head of dairy cattle alone died from snow suffocation in the western South Plains and far southwest Panhandle with similar numbers for non-dairy cattle.  This region accounts for 40 percent of Texas' milk supply.  Regional commercial power utilities were also dealt a severe blow from the prolonged high winds that downed hundreds of miles of power lines and toppled some power poles outright.  Scores of rural residents were left without commercial power for up to two days.  Damage estimates for each county listed below also take into account sporadic damage to roofing and shingles, utility sheds, pole barns, gas station overhangs, and countless garage ports.  Some businesses and residential buildings reported sections of roofs failing from heavy snow.  At Texas Tech University, the inflatable roof to the iconic Athletic Training Center (also known as The Bubble) collapsed in the days following the storm from strain caused by 12+ inches of snow on the roof.  The roof was deemed a total loss valued around $8 million, but ironically was scheduled for demolition in Spring of 2016.||Historically, this blizzard was the worst to ever strike Lubbock given the magnitude and duration of strong winds combined with record snow totals for both the 27th and the entire month of December.  Officially at Lubbock Airport, this storm ranked third for the greatest snow ever with 11.2 inches.  From a forecast perspective, the historic potential of this blizzard was explicitly cited three days ahead of time by forecasters at the NWS Lubbock office.  Also, NWS Lubbock decision support members provided local and regional disaster planning officials with six days of advance notice that a significant winter storm stood a high probability of impacting much of the region by Christmas weekend - a feat that would have been impossible decades earlier due to lower quality weather models.||Select storm total snow measurements:|Friona...20.0 inches with 10-foot drifts / |Wolfforth 5S...14.0 inches with 7-foot drifts / |Plains...12.0 inches with 7-foot drifts /|Lubbock Airport...11.2 inches with 6-foot drifts / |Denver City...11.0 inches with 6-foot drifts / |Plainview...10.0 inches / |Hart...9.0 inches / |Shallowater, Levelland, Muleshoe, and Tahoka...8.0 inches /|Post...7.0 inches on top of 2 inches of sleet / |Brownfield, Littlefield, Matador, and Morton...6.0 inches / |Abernathy, Lake Alan Henry and Paducah...5.0 inches / |Childress, Crosbyton, and Tulia...4.0 inches /|Floydada...3.0 inches / |Dickens...2.0 inches snow / 0.50 inches of freezing rain.|Aspermont...1.0 inch snow / 3 inches of sleet.||Notable wind gusts (mph) and times as measured by the West Texas Mesonet (except where noted):|Anton and Olton...67 at 905 PM on the 26th / |Sundown...65 at 815 PM  on the 26th / |Morton...65 at 805 PM on the 26th / |Muleshoe...65 at 520 AM on the 27th / |Amherst...65 at at 220 AM on the 27th / |Reese Center...64 at 930 PM on the 26th / |Levelland...64 at 925 PM on the 26th / |Tulia...64 at 605 AM on the 27th / |Hart...64 at 455 AM on the 27th / |Memphis...63 at 955 PM on the 26th / |Dimmitt...63 at 510 AM on the 27th / |Turkey...62 at 445 AM on the 27th / |Lubbock Int'l Airport ASOS: 61 at 655 AM on the 27th / |Friona...61 at 715 PM on the 26th / |Wolfforth...61 at 540 AM on the 27th / |Denver City...61 at 625 AM on the 27th / |Roaring Springs...60 at 1020 PM on the 26th / |White River Lake...60 at 530 AM on the 27th / |Brownfield...60 at 800 AM on the 27th / |Plains...60 at 445 AM on the 27th / |Abernathy...60 at 755 PM on the 26th / |Spur...59 at 1145 PM on the 26th / |NWS Lubbock Office...52 mph at 817 AM on the 27th.",,CSV,6.00M,6000000

The fire carried quickly through grassy fuels and caused the evacuation of several neighborhoods in the vicinity of Coal Creek Road northeast of Casper. No human lives were lost, but the wildfire did eventually consume numerous homes, outbuildings, vehicles, pets, and livestock.||The fire began around 1720MST on Saturday, October 10, in a wood chip pile at the Casper Regional Landfill north of Casper. On Sunday, gusty southwest wind steadily increased through the morning hours. Sustained wind of 30 to 40 mph and gusts of 45 to 50 mph were recorded by 0800MST at nearby Casper-Natrona County International Airport. These speeds continued through the day before decreasing after 1500MST. Other nearby mesonet stations measured wind gusts of 58 mph to 65 mph during the morning. The strong wind enabled the fire to spread beyond the boundary of the landfill and move quickly to the northeast. Evacuation orders were issued for the Cole Creek Road, Geary Dome, and Meadow Acres areas by 1300MST Sunday. A total of 190 homes were threatened by the flames. By that evening, ten homes were believed to have been destroyed. At the fire's peak, there were 150 firefighters on-scene.||The fire continued on Monday, October 12, as southwest wind again increased by 0800MST. Although less than Sunday, sustained wind of 20 to 25 mph with gusts around 30 mph enabled the fire to continue its trek northeast. Another two homes were destroyed as the fire had two distinct blow-ups, one around 0900MST and another around 1300MST. In all, close to 10,000 acres had been consumed by Monday evening and approximately 1,350 people displaced.||An evacuation order remained in-place until 1600MST Tuesday, October 13, when residents were allowed to return home.

Typhoon Dolphin passed through the Rota Channel, just north of Guam on the night of the 15th. The southern eyewall of the typhoon passed over northern Guam. Tropical storm and typhoon force winds were experienced on Guam from the afternoon of the 15th through the morning of the 16th. The maximum sustained winds observed at Andersen Air Force Base, located on the northern part of Guam, was 84 mph. The highest gust at the Air Force Base was 106 mph. |   The National Weather Service Office, located in the central part of the island recorded a maximum sustained wind of 56 mph with a peak gust of 81 mph. |   The typhoon brought with it a lot of moisture, which resulted in heavy rainfall over the islands with between 12 and 14 inches of rain being observed on Guam. The heavy rain brought brief flooding in poor drainage areas and also water damage at the Guam Memorial Hospital, causing about $1.0 million damage to the hospital.|   The lowest sea level pressure was 972.1 mb and was observed at Andersen Air Force Base 858Z on the 15th (around 7 p.m. on the 15th local time). |   The typhoon caused disruption to the electrical power grid on Guam with 40 percent of the power customers experiencing power outages. Power to mainly northern and central Guam was affected. |   There are 100 water wells on Guam with 89 backup generators to service these|wells. As only 47 of these generators were fully operational when the typhoon arrived, 3300 water customers experienced outages. Many of the backup generators experienced malfunctions. An estimated $3.0 million damage was done to utilities by the typhoon.|   On Guam, 8 schools served as storm shelters. During the passage of the typhoon, the shelters held more than 1000 people. The last shelter closed on 23rd May. A reported 1055 individuals were left without a home and were given tents and canopies to live in.  Most were from the villages of Yigo and Dededo. A total of 390 homes were affected by the typhoon, with 64 destroyed or heavily damaged.|   There was damage to fruit trees and other agricultural crops on Guam. An example of the damage was that done to banana crops with more than 7000 trees being damaged as the southern eyewall passed over Guam. An estimated $1.2 million worth of damage was done to crops. An additional $1.9 million damage was done to commercial businesses on the island.|   A 50-foot recreational vessel broke free of its moorings during the typhoon. The Makena was moored in Apra Harbor and eventually sunk in 15 feet of water. The Makena had 1500 gallons of diesel fuel on board. Contractors successfully removed the oil and other items from the sunken vessel a few days later.|   A side note to the typhoon damage was that done to a few endangered Ironwood trees. The University of Guam has a project to repopulate the island with ironwood trees. Thirty-nine of 60 trees planted were killed by the typhoon.  It was hoped that the trees would gain enough maturity to be able to produce seeds. The typhoon killed the trees before they reached this mature stage.",CSV,5.00M,5000000

An unusual weather pattern became established around September 25th with very slow-moving and strong high pressure building across New England and low pressure over the southeastern U.S. combining to bring strong easterly flow into the southern Mid-Atlantic along with abundant moisture. Rainfall ending 12z on the 25th was generally confined to the southern portions of the HSA with up to 1 inch in parts of the North Carolina piedmont into southside Virginia. The rains became much heavier and widespread over the next two days with 1 to 4 inches ending at 12z on the 26th and another 1 to nearly 5 inches ending at 12z on the 27th. Over the next five days rainfall was nearly constant in some areas with pulses of heavier rainfall but with the heaviest amounts concentrating across the VA Blue Ridge mountains, mainly in Patrick, Floyd, Roanoke, Henry and Franklin counties. The maximum 5-day rainfall totals ending at 12Z (8 AM) on the 30th ranged from 10 to 16 inches in parts of Patrick and Floyd counties. Some of the higher totals equate to anywhere from a 100 to 500-year event per NOAA Atlas 14. The extremely wet soils set the stage for the severe flash flooding early on September 29th into the afternoon. Several bands of intense rainfall tracked across parts of the same counties mentioned above and also including Montgomery County over a 6 to 12 hour period from 0200 LST to 1400 lST (06z-18z) prompting the issuance of two Flash Flood Warnings for parts of eight counties and several cities at 943 AM (EDT) and 1019 (EDT) AM.  It was difficult to differentiate between the onset of flash flooding from the longer duration flooding that was developing or underway as well. No matter the type, by mid-morning numerous reports of flooding and several high water rescues had been reported across a wide area, but most notably in parts of Patrick, Floyd, Montgomery, Roanoke and Henry counties.  Local states of emergency were declared in Floyd and Patrick counties due to the widespread flood impacts with water rescues, some homes damaged and dozens of roads closed due to flooding or trees brought down in the saturated soil.",Flooding and flash flooding was widespread across Patrick County. Numerous creeks and rivers were reported out of banks with dozens of road closures across the county for much of the day. An apartment complex was evacuated due to a mudslide and multiple swift water rescues were carried out. Polebridge Creek west of Sanville was reported out of its banks and Big Ivy Creek flooded a portion of Route 58 southeast of Meadows of Dan.

Northerly winds increased in intensity during the day and by early evening were frequently gusting between 50 and 60 mph over the entire South Plains.  These winds created several power outages, minor roof damage, downed tree limbs, and even toppled some trees completely.  By mid-evening on the 26th, exceptionally rich moisture from the Gulf of Mexico deepened over the shallow dome of cold air and resulted in large areas of freezing rain and sleet punctuated by thunderstorms.  This wintry mix quickly changed over to all snow by late evening over the western South Plains as an elevated layer of warm air was eroded.  With winds still frequently gusting to 60 mph, instant whiteout conditions were reported from Morton south to Seminole from heavy snow and blowing snow.||The blizzard expanded slowly east through the night to the edge of the Caprock until mid-level dry slotting arrived on the morning of the 27th which produced a distinct lull in snow and sleet.  Even without falling snow, winds were still gusting from 50 to 60 mph which created ground blizzard conditions even in the city of Lubbock where a mere 2.7 inches of sleet and snow was measured through 6 A.M.  NWS forecasters were keen to alert residents that a second and more potent round of snow was to arrive later in the day once the upper low lifted northeast across central Texas.  Although this second round was initially complicated by sleet at times thanks to a redeveloping warm nose, by late afternoon on the 27th the warm nose disappeared for good as several bands of heavy snow enveloped the South Plains before shifting into the Rolling Plains and the southeast Texas Panhandle overnight and slowly dissipating.  Until that point, areas off the Caprock contended with as much as three inches of sleet and up to 1/2 inch of freezing rain.  Several snowbursts with rates measured as high as 2.7 inches at the NWS Lubbock office produced whiteout conditions and compounded already treacherous travel conditions.  The snow and strong winds quickly tapered off in coverage and intensity from southwest-to-northeast late on the 27th through the pre-dawn hours of the 28th.||Unfortunately, there were two fatalities from this blizzard.  A homeless man in Lubbock succumbed to hypothermia late in the night on the 27th.  He was found wearing only a light jacket, jeans and a thin blanket. No information was known on the second fatality.||Despite full sun and high temperatures reaching the middle 30s on the 28th, thousands of South Plains residents found themselves marooned by tall snow drifts that blocked roads and driveways.  In Lubbock alone, the city Police Dispatch estimated that about 1400 motorists became stuck in snow drifts.  In many areas of the southwest South Plains, rescue operations were conducted for up to 32 consecutive hours to free stranded motorists.  Fortunately, there were very few vehicle accidents as most people became stuck in snow instead of sliding into obstacles or other vehicles.  A large percentage of area residents heeded warnings and avoided travel altogether for several days.  The alarming lack of snow removal resources, particularly in the city of Lubbock which only owned two snow plows at the time, was heavily criticized by taxpayers and some city council members as a total of 98 emergency vehicles became immobilized in snow and were unable to respond to Lubbock residents in a timely manner.  Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson declared a state of disaster for Lubbock during the height of the blizzard which opened the door to additional state aid and resources, however he later stated the city diverted a disaster and could not have prepared any more than it did.  Regional commerce was ground to a halt for two days following the blizzard as many roads were simply too dangerous for travel even for high clearance 4x4 trucks and SUVs.  All flights into and out of Lubbock International Airport were cancelled from the evening of the 26th through the morning of the 28th which left thousands of post-Christmas travelers stranded.  Even USPS Offices region wide were forced to suspend all services on the 28th and 29th due to streets and roads being blocked with snow, although many rural areas did not see normal mail service resume until the following weekend.||Combined economic losses from businesses being closed for up to four days and regional commerce impacts due to impassable roads may approach $200 million.  Direct losses from the storm were most significant to area ranchers and dairy farmers who suffered combined losses of at least $20 million. The USDA estimated 15,000 head of dairy cattle alone died from snow suffocation in the western South Plains and far southwest Panhandle with similar numbers for non-dairy cattle.  This region accounts for 40 percent of Texas' milk supply.  Regional commercial power utilities were also dealt a severe blow from the prolonged high winds that downed hundreds of miles of power lines and toppled some power poles outright.  Scores of rural residents were left without commercial power for up to two days.  Damage estimates for each county listed below also take into account sporadic damage to roofing and shingles, utility sheds, pole barns, gas station overhangs, and countless garage ports.

At Texas Tech University, the inflatable roof to the iconic Athletic Training Center (also known as The Bubble) collapsed in the days following the storm from strain caused by 12+ inches of snow on the roof.

The NWS will get total numbers from utility providers once they have a chance to assess all the damage.  |At the airport, winds were gusting to 90 mph last night on an anemometer on top of the terminal roof.   The winds tore the anemometer off the roof though, so a peak wind was not measured.  The FAA AWOS station that is the official observing equipment for the airport lost power, and a maximum gust was not received from it either.    There was a large cottonwood tree that was uprooted near the terminal building.  There were three metal roof/siding airplane hangars damaged.  One was completely destroyed, and the other two had the metal roofing peeled back/off.  The one that was destroyed wasn???t cemented into the ground and the posts easily ripped out of the ground when the wind blew against it.  All the debris was blown towards the north-northeast. The winds are estimated at 90 to 95 mph at this location.  |The next stop was on Highway 200S just southeast of the Interstate turnoff.  Significant damage occurred to a large metal building.  The failure point was two large garage doors that face southwest.  There is nothing to stop the wind as it rolls through the valley towards it.  The garage doors blew in, and the roof blew off.  One of the employees mentioned that sheet metal from another building southwest of them was blown towards their building.  The impact of that metal hitting the doors may have helped cause the doors to fail and be blown in.  This metal building had solid steel I-Beams in the ceiling that were bent back where the roof peeled back.    Power poles with transformers on them were snapped off near this facility and just east-southeast of it.  The transformers are pretty heavy and the resistance and weight of them against the wind made them easy targets to be snapped. All the debris was blown in a north-northeasterly direction.  Between the building and the power poles, winds at this location are estimated to have been around 100 to 110 mph.|7 Mile Drive was next.  There were many homes with shingles peeled off, and large trees split and large branches down, metal buildings damaged and sheet metal blown around. A few power poles were also snapped.  We stopped at an office building and a newer, well-built warehouse after noticing the garage doors on the warehouse were bent out.  There was also some insulation missing on a portion of a wall.   They had already cleaned up the south side doors, which had blown in as the winds came off the hill and crumbled some of the north side doors.  There was very little noticeable roof damage, which is something you will often see with garage doors blowing in, a testament to how well the building was built and the steel I-beams used in the trusses.  Winds at this location are estimated at 100-105 mph.     |Another metal building structure was viewed south of the interstate off of 7 Mile Drive.  A large overhead door that faces south was blown in and the roof right above it peeled off and blown to the north.   On the north side of the building, the majority of the roof (with wooden trusses) was either collapsed into the building or blown north-northeastward.  Winds at this location are estimated at 95 to 100 mph.|As we went down Highway 200S into downtown, the most notable damage was tree branches down.   We went down Marsh Road, and there were a lot of trees damaged in that area from 1 to 3 miles south of town.  House damage was generally due to branches falling on them or against them.   Heading north on Merrill Ave, tree damage was the most noticed damage, specifically near the high school football field.  A large blue spruce was noted down near I-94 and roof damage with shingles and fascia torn off were noted on a new hotel at that location.  Winds in this portion of town are estimated to have been 80-90 mph.  |We continued north on Highway 16 towards Sidney.  The number of damaged trees and sheds quickly reduced as we headed north and by 10 miles we were really looking hard to see any damage.  At four miles north of town, there was a home with a new barn that had all but the west wall collapse.  With no one home, we did not go out into the field to assess the barn closer, but it was newly built.  Winds at this point are estimated at 100 mph.",CSV,2.50M,2500000

It was reported that there was damage to breadfruit trees and a few houses were knocked down. The highest sustained wind speed on Majuro was 26 mph with a gust to 35 mph. By the morning of the 12th, the depression being located 115 miles south-southwest of Kwajalein Atoll gained more strength to become Tropical Storm Bavi. Kwajalein reported small tree damage on the 12th. The highest sustained wind observed on Kwajalein was 36 mph with a gust to 47 mph. The damage across Kwajalein amounted to over $1 million. It was reported that roofs were destroyed on four buildings, and some old steel structures were made too dangerous to use. There was also some coastal flooding and considerable wind damage on Ebeye, an islet 1-2 miles north of the Army Base, and the location where the local national population that works at the Army Base lives.  There were no monetary estimates of the damages there.||High seas and winds associated with Tropical Storm Bavi possibly claimed a fishing vessel. An 83-foot fishing vessel, the Clearwater 02, was reported overdue. The ship reportedly went missing with nine people aboard while en route to Majuro for offload on the 12th. Clearwater 02 is a Federated States of Micronesia-flagged vessel with one Marshallese and eight Chinese nationals aboard. The ship was fairly new, being built in 2001.

Strong winds and minor tidal flooding started with the daytime high tide cycle on the 1st. The winds and minor to moderate tidal flooding both peaked on the 2nd. Slow improvement in conditions occurred through Sunday the 4th, with only some residual minor tidal flooding occurring on the 5th along the southern New Jersey coast. ||In excess of 32 million dollars in storm damage occurred along the New Jersey coast, especially along the coasts of Cape May, Ocean, and Monmouth Counties due to the prolonged wind and tidal flooding which caused extensive damage to New Jersey's coastal barrier dune system. As a result, Governor Chris Christie announced that New Jersey would request a Major Disaster Declaration under the federal Stafford Act for these three shore counties. To restore traffic flow and prevent further flooding in these counties, sand removal was performed along storm drains and roadways. In North Wildwood (Cape May County), severe beach erosion occurred leaving 5 foot or higher cliffs carved out of the dunes along sections of the beach, making those areas unsafe and inaccessible. The beaches at Mantoloking and Brick (Ocean County) were closed following the storm due to dangerous drop-offs between a protective steel flood wall and the beach. The severe beach erosion at these locations resulted in drop-offs ranging between 5 to 10 feet. Meanwhile, in the Toms River community of Ortley Beach (Ocean County) on the northern barrier island, a breach reportedly occurred in the temporary dune line the township had constructed. In Middle Township (Cape May County), a vacant and structurally unsound home was dislodged from its pilings in the Grassy Sound Channel behind North Wildwood on the 2nd, and it floated into the Intracoastal Waterway before it broke apart and settled into the marsh. No utilities were connected to the home, and no injuries were reported. ||Storm damage and power outages were also reported into other parts of southern and central New Jersey. In the Pleasant Valley Crossroads area north of Colts Neck (Monmouth County), a 46 year-old woman was killed when a tree fell onto her car as she drove south on Route 34 between Clover Hill Road and Highfield Lane on the 3rd. The tree was reported to be rotted and likely fell due to the combination of saturated ground and strong winds. The Seaside Park Fire Department (Ocean County) rescued a 40 year-old man who was sailing his 22-foot Angler boat in Barnegat Bay. The boat's engine had failed, and it was adrift off 14th Avenue. Meanwhile, in Keyport Harbor off the Cliffwood Beach section of Aberdeen Township (Monmouth County), three sailboats came loose from their moorings on the afternoon of the 3rd. Tugboats were dispatched to the area to round up the vessels. In Pennsville (Salem County), a large falling tree limb was the cause of a major power outage that left more than 3,300 Atlantic City Electric customers in the dark for a couple of hours the evening of the 2nd. Other scattered power outages also occurred across portions of southern to central New Jersey during the height of the storm on the 2nd and 3rd.   ||Minor tidal flooding began with the day and night high tide cycles on the 1st along the Atlantic coast of New Jersey and into Delaware Bay. The highest tides then occurred with the daytime high tide cycle on the 2nd, with minor tidal flooding being recorded from Atlantic County northward and moderate tidal flooding occurring along the Cape May County coast and also likely along the Cumberland County coast adjacent to Delaware Bay. Highest tides included 7.41 feet above mean lower low water at 1206 p.m. EDT on the 2nd at Sandy Hook (Monmouth County), and minor tidal flooding starts at 6.7 feet above mean lower low water. The highest level of minor tidal flooding recorded at Atlantic City (Atlantic County) was 6.75 feet above mean lower low water at 1148 a.m. EDT on the 2nd, and minor tidal flooding starts at 6.0 feet above mean lower low water. Meanwhile, moderate tidal flooding and the highest tides at Cape May (Cape May County) were recorded at 8.07 feet above mean lower low water at 1242 p.m. EDT on the 2nd, and moderate tidal flooding starts at 7.7 feet above mean lower low water. Minor tidal flooding then occurred along most of the Atlantic coast of New Jersey and into Delaware Bay with successive day and night high tide cycles through the 3rd and 4th. In addition, minor tidal flooding was also recorded along the lower part of the tidal Delaware River at Reedy Island, DE with the late afternoon high tide cycles on the 3rd and the 4th, with some minimal effects along portions of the Salem County coast. The last of the residual minor tidal flooding to occur with this event along the southern New Jersey coast affected Cape May County with the afternoon high tide on the 5th. ||The peak in tidal flooding, especially from the afternoon of the 2nd through the early morning of the 3rd, also coincided with the strongest winds to affect New Jersey as most of the peak wind gusts occurred during this timeframe. Measured wind gusts to affect New Jersey included 62 mph in Cape May (Cape May County), 56 mph in Seaside Heights (Ocean County), 55 mph in Tuckerton (Ocean County), 53 mph in Ocean City (Cape May County) and in Harvey Cedars (Ocean County), 52 mph in Ship Bottom (Ocean County), 51 mph at Kite Island in Barnegat Bay (Ocean County), 48 mph at Cape May NOS buoy, 47 mph in Monmouth Beach (Monmouth County), 46 mph in Brick Township (Ocean County), 45 mph at the Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic County), 44 mph at the Cape May County Airport (Cape May County), 43 mph in Sandy Hook (Monmouth County), and 41 mph at the Millville Municipal Airport (Cumberland County). ||The tidal flooding and strong winds were caused by a strengthening pressure gradient (difference) between a strong high pressure system building across southeastern Canada and a lingering frontal boundary offshore of the Northeast and Mid Atlantic seaboard. In addition, some moisture, associated with Hurricane Joaquin passing offshore well to the south, interacted with the stalled frontal boundary, which enhanced rainfall amounts somewhat across the area. Storm total rainfall amounts averaged from 1.5 to 3.5 inches in New Jersey, with a few locally higher amounts along the coast.

These supercells rapidly lifted north into south central Nebraska and began producing severe weather by 330 p.m. CDT. Most of the tornadoes occurred over Nuckolls and Thayer counties. One tornado did occur over Adams county and a brief spin-up also occurred over Hall county. Eventually, an MCS developed. The leading edge of the cold pool becoming stationary. New storms repeatedly developed over north central Kansas and lifted northeast along the boundary, through Nuckolls and Thayer counties and further downstream into southeastern Nebraska. Cell training produced a swath of 5-11 inches of rain over portions of Nuckolls and Thayer counties. The highest amount reported was 10.91 inches just west of Hebron.

Some of the highest totals reported include Hudson, MA (36 inches), Acton, MA (34 inches), Thompson, CT (33.5 inches), and Methuen, MA (31.5 inches).  Much of southeast Massachusetts and the rest of Rhode Island received one to two feet of snow.  Totals dropped off dramatically west of the Connecticut River Valley where totals of 4 to 8 inches were observed.  ||The storm was well-forecast, with Blizzard Watches and Winter Storm Watches issued 2 days before the snow began.  Low pressure tracked northeast from the Carolinas and strengthened rapidly as it slowly passed southeast of Nantucket on Monday evening, January 26.  All of the precipitation fell as snow with this storm.  At its peak, snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour were common.  In Massachusetts, blizzard conditions were officially reported in Marshfield (14 hours), Hyannis (13 hours), Nantucket (11 hours), Boston (9 hours), Chatham (9 hours), Worcester (7 hours), and Beverly (3 hours).  In Rhode Island, blizzard conditions were officially reported in Westerly (5 hours), Newport (4 hours), and at T.F. Green State Airport in Warwick (3 hours).  Several other locations fell just short of the required criteria (3 consecutive hours of blizzard conditions) including Fitchburg, New Bedford, Falmouth, and Martha???s Vineyard in Massachusetts and Smithfield in Rhode Island.||Daily snowfall records were set for January 27 in Boston (22.1 inches, previous record 8.8 inches in 2011), Worcester (31.9 inches, previous record 11.0 in 2011), and Providence (16.0 inches, previous record 6.7 inches in 2011).

Due to a north-northeast wind around the time of the early morning high tide, Boston???s north shore was spared to some degree with mostly minor impacts.  North and east facing coastlines from Hull to Chatham as well as Nantucket experienced moderate to major coastal flooding with some areas experiencing inundation in excess of 3 feet and pockets of structural damage, especially where sea walls and other protective devices were compromised.  Severe erosion was reported along portions of the coastline south of Boston.  The Sandwich area was especially hard hit with erosion as a consequence of strong onshore winds by the time of the early morning high tide.   Very preliminary estimates indicate that the coastal impact along the eastern Massachusetts coast south of Boston was generally comparable to but in a few locations a little greater than the February 2013 Blizzard.

Around the time thunderstorms developed, temperatures were in the lower 70s with dewpoints in the lower 60s, resulting in low cloud bases. Even at mid-afternoon, cloud bases were only 2000-2500 feet. The surface conditions and mid-level lapse rates of 7 degrees C/km resulted in SBCAPE around 1500 J/kg. Deep layer shear was only 25-30 knots. However, low-level wind fields were strong with 40-45 knots at 850 mb. This resulted in large hodographs with 0-1 km SRH values of 200-250 m2/s2, and 0-3 km SRH of 250-300 m2/s2. Combined with low cloud bases, this created a favorable environment for supercells and tornadoes.","This tornado touched down about 3 miles south of Roseland, clipping the east side of town before lifting just north-northeast of town. This tornado was rated an EF1, with an estimated peak wind speed of 110 MPH. The most widespread damage from this tornado was on the east side of town, and while several homes and outbuildings sustained damage, 2 sustained considerable damage. One of those homes slide from its foundation and another lost its entire roof structure. A large metal building with wood post frame construction was destroyed and tree damage was widespread throughout town.

Finally the Kiamichi River at Hugo Reservoir crested just below a new pool stage record after May 25th and contributed peak releases of near 60,000 CFS as well to the Red River. This excessive heavy rainfall and inflow into the Red River resulted in river levels that eclipsed the flood of May of 1990 at Pecan Point and was just shy of the Red River flood of May of 1908 at Pecan Point. The Red River at Pecan Point north of Dekalb, Texas went above the 24 foot flood stage on May 10th, 2015 and remained above that flood stage through the entire month of June and did not fall below flood stage until until July, 2015.

Nearly every climate station in the Cleveland WFO region saw their coldest February on record in 2015. As a result,  Lake Erie was 98% frozen by early March. The lake is the mouth for almost all of northern Ohio and Pennsylvania rivers and creeks. When the lake is ice covered, it becomes a barrier to the natural outflow of the rivers. |Going into March the area had a widespread and significant snowpack based on regional climatology. The snowpack was heaviest across the snowbelt where the average depth was two to three feet.  Elsewhere the snowpack had compacted to eight inches or less. A survey conducted by NWS Cleveland employees shortly before the thaw revealed the snow water equivalent in the snowpack to be one to two inches west and south of Cleveland, and three to five inches in the snowbelt to the east. |By the middle of March temperatures began to warm.  A result of the warming was that by the end of the second week of March the snowpack was mostly gone except in the snowbelt. The runoff from this snowmelt began to raise river levels and break up the ice sheets that had accumulated along most northern Ohio and Pennsylvania Rivers. Numerous ice jams formed during this time, however no flooding impacts were reported. |A rain event moved along the Ohio River on the 13th resulting in rapid runoff in the region. The rainfall was not substantial in the Lake Erie basins, with amounts near a trace in the Maumee River near Toledo, to three quarters of an inch in the Cuyahoga Basin near Cleveland. Though not significant, the rainfall was sufficient enough to raise river levels. For those rivers experiencing ice jams, the increased flow was forced to back up and out of the river banks. The ice jams shifted and moved between the 13th through the 18th until the rivers were able to empty into Lake Erie. During that time numerous communities were impacted by the ice jams. Below is a summary of some of those communities.","On March 12th an ice jam formed on the Maumee River in Maumee Ohio. The river was frozen from Maumee to the mouth of the river at Lake Erie. The ice jam and subsequent water rises caused the Side Cut Metropark to close and experience record flooding. The road between Jerome Road and an access road east of Riverside Cemetery was damaged by the moving ice and needed repairs. In Maumee the Side Cut Metropark sustained around $50,000 in damages. The Riverside Cemetery is estimated to have sustained $1 million in damages. In Monclova the ice jams damaged two homes on North River Road.

Five tornadoes occurred over Jewell County. With no cap in place, scattered thunderstorms began developing as early as the noon hour over north central Kansas. Most storms rapidly became supercellular. These supercells began producing severe weather by 330 p.m. CDT. It was about this time that a short line formed from the Jewell-Smith County line south into Osborne County. Supercells were embedded within this line and several discrete supercells developed ahead of it over Mitchell and Jewell counties. Eventually, an MCS developed. The leading edge of the cold pool becoming stationary, with new storms repeatedly developing over north central Kansas and further downstream into southeastern Nebraska. Cell training produced a swath of 4-8 inches of rain over portions of Jewell County. The highest amount reported was 7.92 inches near Webber. ||A complex low pressure system extended from the Canadian Prairies into the western United States. These storms developed in the warm sector, far away from any discernible surface boundaries. However, an axis of confluence was present over north central Kansas. A deep upper-level trough was over the western U.S., with a ridge over the East. In the southwest flow between these features, a shortwave trough was lifting through the Central Plains. These storms formed in the southeast quadrant of the associated vorticity maximum. Around the time thunderstorms developed, temperatures were in the lower 70s with dewpoints in the lower 60s, resulting in low cloud bases. Even at mid-afternoon, cloud bases were only 2000-2500 ft. The surface conditions and mid-level lapse rates of 7 degrees C/km resulted in SBCAPE was around 1500 J/kg. Deep layer shear was only 25-30 knots. However, low-level wind fields were strong with 40-45 knots at 850 mb. This resulted in large hodographs with 0-1 km SRH values of 200-250 m2/s2, and 0-3 km SRH of 250-300 m2/s2. Combined with low cloud bases, this created a favorable environment for supercells and tornadoes.","This tornado touched down west-northwest of Webber in Jewell County, KS, traveling northeast through the very northwest corner of Republic County, KS, before entering Nebraska near the town of Hardy in Nuckolls County. It continued traveling northeast into Thayer County, lifting northwest of Deshler. This tornado was rated an EF2, with an estimated peak wind speed of 122 MPH. EF2 damage was noted in both Jewell County, KS and Nuckolls County, NE.||Damage along this tornado path included numerous pivots overturned and snapped power poles.

Three-hour rainfall amounts were from one to three inches, with isolated higher rates. The convection was focused along the nose of a low-level jet in a very moist air mass, with precipitable water values in the 2 to 2.25 inch range. Unidirectional wind flow from the surface to 500 mb resulted in little net movement of the convection. Although the best instability resided further south in the warm/moist sector, there was enough buoyancy in place to maintain convection. The front settled southward across western Kentucky by late afternoon, providing a focus for renewed convective complexes.","Major flash flooding occurred as a result of persistent thunderstorms that dumped up to 5.5 inches of rain in four hours.
