Weather Underground midday recap for Friday,January 3,2014
A strong winter storm moved away from the East Coast on Friday, which
allowed for snow showers to come to an end for the Northeast. Storm
totals ranged from 10 inches at Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania to 6.5
inches at Columbia, Maryland. Fulton, New York reported 19 inches of
snow from this system and New York City saw 6 inches of snow at Central
Park. As this system passed, the back side of this system pushed cool
Arctic air in from Canada as high pressure built over the Eastern
Valleys. This forced temperatures down to 25 to 35 degrees below normal
for the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, Northeast, and into the Ohio River
Valley. Temperatures in the Tennessee Valley and Mid- to Lower
Mississippi River Valley dropped to near 20 degrees below normal. The
coldest temperature Friday morning was reported at Ely, Minnesota with a
morning low of 32 degrees below zero.
Meanwhile, out West, another strong winter storm developed over the US
and Canadian border. This system created a wintry mix of rain and snow
showers across the Dakotas, with heavy snow showers over Montana,
Minnesota, and northern Wisconsin. Heavy snow showers also developed
north of the border in southern Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.
