North American winters

The 2021–22 North American winter was not as significant and record-breaking as previous winter season. Despite this, several notable and significant events still occurred, including two separate record-breaking tornado outbreaks in mid-December, a significant winter storm in the South in mid-January, a powerful blizzard that impacted the Northeast at the end of January and a wide-ranging, and significant winter storm that affected most of the eastern half of the country in early February. 3 storms have been ranked on the Regional Snowfall Index (RSI), although none have attained the “Major” category as of mid-March. Similar to the previous winter, a La Niña was expected to influence weather patterns across the continent.

Based on the astronomical definition, winter began on the winter solstice on December 21, 2021 and ended on the spring equinox on March 20, 2022.[1] Based on the meteorological definition, the first day of winter started on December 1 and the last day was February 28.[2] These dates historically describe the period in each year when winter storms are most likely to occur. However, winter storms may occur outside of these limits, as shown by the early formation of this season's Mid-October winter storm on October 12. Since both definitions of winter span the start of the calendar year, it is possible to have a winter storm spanning two different years.

Seasonal forecasts[]

Temperature outlook
Precipitation outlook

On October 13, 2021, The Weather Channel (TWC) released its U.S. winter temperature outlooks for the 2021–22 winter season.[3] The forecasts reflected the likelihood of a weak La Niña pattern and weak polar vortex during much of the season. Overall for the winter, significantly above-average temperatures were forecast for most of the Southern Tier, with near-average temperatures in the Central and much of the Northeastern United States. Slightly below-average temperatures were expected in most of the north-central and northwestern U.S. During the first half of the season, a relatively weak La Niña was expected to result in widespread below-average temperatures across the northern half of the country, with widespread above-average temperatures in the southern half. However, as both the La Niña and polar vortex were expected to strengthen later in the season, widespread above-average temperatures were forecast in most of the U.S. during the latter half of the winter, especially in the South and East. Below-average temperatures were still expected to continue in the far Northwestern U.S.[3]

On October 21, 2021, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center released its U.S. Winter Outlook for the upcoming winter.[4] The temperature and precipitation outlooks reflected a typical La Niña weather pattern during the winter. Significantly above-average temperatures were forecasted across the Southern Tier, especially in the Southeast, with slightly above-average temperatures forecast in the Ohio Valley and Northeast. Near to below-average temperatures were expected in the far northwestern U.S. Below-average precipitation was expected across the far Southern Tier, with particularly in the Southwest, with above-average precipitation forecast in the far Northwestwern U.S., as well as the Ohio Valley and surrounding regions. Near-average precipitation was expected in the Central U.S., Northern Plains, and Northeast. Drought was forecasted to improve and end in the Pacific Northwest, while it was expected to develop or worsen across the Southwest. Drought was not expected in the eastern half of the country.[4]

The 2021–22 winter season began with the formation of a significant winter storm in the Western United States on October 12, resulting in heavy snow accumulations of up to 28 in (71 cm) across much of the Intermountain West and over 80 rescues due to blizzard-like conditions in Utah.[5][6] The system was estimated to have caused at least $50 million in damages.[7] After a one-month break in winter weather events due to unfavorable conditions for winter storms, a blizzard began to develop across south-central Canada and the Upper Midwest on November 11.[8] In early-to-mid December, a major system produced a historic tornado outbreak along with wintry weather in the Upper Midwest, followed by another powerful storm that produced an ever larger tornado outbreak along with strong winds across the High Plains just a few days later. The storm, being a category 3 atmospheric river event,[9] brought heavy rain and snowfall to the Western United States. Over 8 inches of rain during the storm were recorded on Mount Tamalpais, a mountain in the San Francisco Bay Area, with San Francisco itself receiving around two inches of rain from the event.[10] Around 60 inches of snow was recorded in Pinecrest, California.[10] The storm caused statewide snowpack in California to increase from 19% of normal to 83% of normal.[11]

Later that month and into early January, a series of winter storms brought a cold snap and heavy snowfall to parts of the West Coast, particularly areas in the Pacific Northwest region.[12] Several weather stations in Washington state recorded record-breaking low temperatures for December 26 and 27, with temperatures at 17 °F (−8 °C) in Seattle and 7 °F (−14 °C) in Bellingham.[13] Seattle recorded 9.2 inches (23 cm) of snow in December, exceeding the city's normal winter average,[14] while some parts of the region had more than 1 foot (0.30 m).[15] Another storm on January 6 led to the closure of several mountain passes in the Cascade Range, leaving only one east–west route across Washington. Snoqualmie Pass reopened to limited traffic four days later.[16][17]

On October 10 at 03:00 UTC, an extratropical cyclone made landfall near Vancouver.[18] This cyclone's remnants became a weak, elongated frontal system over the interior West Coast by October 11 at 12:00 UTC.[19] After remaining disorganized for about 12 hours, the system began to coalesce into a stronger extratropical cyclone over Colorado on October 12.[20] It also began to drop snow over parts of the Rocky Mountains by this point. The system then merged into a well-formed extratropical cyclone with a single-low pressure center by early the next day, beginning to steadily intensify.[21] Snowfall rates began to rapidly increase in bands to the west of the center throughout the day, with up to a foot of snow falling within hours. The system reached its peak intensity of 988 mbar (29.2 inHg) at 21:00 UTC on October 13.[22][23] The extratropical cyclone then began to accelerate to the north, becoming occluded in the process.[24][5] The weakening system then moved into the Canadian Prairies, resulting in some more snow there,[25] before merging into another frontal system on October 15.[26]

The precursor to the system resulted in blizzard conditions across parts of northeastern Utah on October 11, disrupting a 50-mile ultramarathon occurring there. Extremely heavy snowfall rates and winds gusting to tropical storm-force resulted in the race being called off, and over 87 rescues had to be made in the snow.[6] The next day, up to 6 inches (15 cm) of snow fell across mountainous areas of Colorado as the system was organizing.[27] The system also resulted in wind gusts of over 64 mph (103 km/h) in parts of Nevada that day.[28] On October 13, the system moved north into areas such as Wyoming, with 17.4 inches (44 cm) of snow falling in Casper, and even higher totals in the high elevations.[29] Additionally, hurricane-force wind gusts were recorded across parts of eastern Colorado and western South Dakota, with a 74 mph (119 km/h) gust occurring in Wasta. As the storm system reached peak intensity on October 14, heavy snowfall rates resulted in snowfall totals of over 2 feet (0.61 m) in parts of eastern Montana, with the storm's maximum snowfall total of 28 inches (71 cm) occurring in Pony. Larger cities such as Billings and Bozeman also saw 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) of snow from the system. Areas in the Black Hills such as Deadwood and Whitewood measured over 24 inches (61 cm) of snow, with Rapid City also recording 3 inches (7.6 cm).[5] As the system moved into south-central Canada later that day, it also resulted in some light snowfall there before the system dissipated the next day.[30] According to Aon Benfield, the system was estimated to have caused at least $50 million (2021 USD) in damages.[7]

Main article: October 2021 Northeast Pacific bomb cyclone

In late October 2021, a powerful bomb cyclone struck the Western United States and Western Canada, bringing severe impacts to the region.[31] The cyclone tapped into a large atmospheric river and underwent explosive intensification, becoming a bomb cyclone on October 24. The bomb cyclone had a minimum central pressure of 942 millibars (27.8 inHg) at its peak, making it the most powerful cyclone recorded in the Northeast Pacific.[32] The system had severe impacts across Western North America, before dissipating on October 26. The storm shattered multiple pressure records across parts of the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, the bomb cyclone was the most powerful storm on record to strike the region, in terms of minimum central pressure. The bomb cyclone brought powerful gale-force winds and flooding to portions of Western North America. At its height, the storm cut the power to over 370,500 customers across the Western U.S. and British Columbia.[citation needed] The storm killed at least two people;[33] damage from the storm was estimated at several hundred million dollars (2021 USD).[34] The bomb cyclone was compared to the Columbus Day Storm of 1962, in terms of ferocity.[35]

In mid-December, a large storm complex produced a devastating tornado outbreak in the South. On the wintry side, a prolific snowstorm occurred within the Plains and Upper Midwest,[36][37] entering the Western United States on December 9. The storm brought the first measurable snowfall of the rainy season to Utah. In southern Wyoming and Colorado, the storm dropped a maximum total of 3 feet (0.91 m) of snow in the mountains.[38]

In Minnesota, some towns and cities received over one foot (30 cm) of snow. The Twin Cities received a maximum total of 21 inches (53 cm) of snow, making the winter storm the heaviest snowstorm recorded in the area since another blizzard in April 2018.[36] Minneapolis and St. Paul each declared snow emergencies. In the Twin Cities, Metro Transit reported that half of its busses were delayed. More than 250 flights were canceled at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. Near Faribault, a seven-car pileup occurred on Interstate 35. Minnesota State Patrol reported 232 crashes, causing 19 injuries.[39] The National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings for part of Minnesota during the December 10.[40]

Early January nor'easters[]

First storm (January 3–4)[]

Snow cover in the aftermath of a winter storm that affected the Mid-Atlantic states on January 3

A nor'easter exited the east coast of the United States on January 4, producing snowfall from Alabama to New England, with as much as 6.0 inches accumulating in Huntsville, Alabama and 6.9 inches falling at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.[41][42] A peak snowfall accumulation of 15.5 in (390 mm) was recorded in Huntingtown, Maryland.[43] Many vehicles and motorists across Interstate 95 in Virginia were stranded due to the snow, with some of them for 24 hours. Over 1,000 motor crashes were also reported and assisted by the state's police. It also caused 3 people to die in a car crash in Maryland.[44] Two others die in the winter storm, one each in Tennessee and Georgia, bringing the total up to 5.[45] Thousands of flights were canceled in the eastern United States.[46] This storm came after a day of record high temperatures; the temperature in Huntsville, Alabama the day before the storm was 79 °F (26 °C), a record for January.[47] The winter storm was unofficially named Winter Storm Frida by The Weather Channel.[48] It also caused 343,000 power outages in Virginia, 43,000 in North Carolina and 42,000 in Maryland.[49] North-central, northeast and northwest portions of Georgia were placed under winter storm warnings by the National Weather Service there on 1 January.[50] Mccaysville registered an unnoficial snow accumulation of 4.5 inches (11 cm), followed by Blue Ridge at 4.0 inches (10 cm).[51] Some of the areas of the state also saw power outages.[52] Winter alerts were also placed over some areas of the state. Over 59,000 household customers lost electricity across Charlotte City, with 159,000 overall over the Carolinas. Some establishments were completely wrecked by the strong winds the storm brought, and trees were reported to have been downed.[53][54] This further rose to 211,000 by 3 January and lessened to 2,500 as rescue teams started working to restore electricity.[55] In Ellendale, Delaware, 14.5 inches of snow fell on 3 January.[56] This led to a chicken house collapse on 4 January which trapped a 12-year-old girl.[57]

Farther north, in Iceland, news about the storm were dispatched across the country's people as a preparation.[58] The south and western parts of Iceland were also placed under an orange warning by the Icelandic Meteorological Office by 5 January.[59] The Icelandic Coast Guard also alerted vessels and fishermen in ports regarding the brunt of it.[60] Icelandair also canceled some flight operations by that day owing to the storm.[61] In the southwest portion of the country, rescue teams were reported to have been responding to the calls by the citizens there regarding the impact of the storm. Across Reykjavík, they responded to flying roofs of different houses and establishments. Suðurnes (Southern Peninsula) and Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands) were also severely affected. A hut was also blown away by strong winds in Vatnsleysuströnd.[62] The country's eastern portion meanwhile, was battered by rough waves from the storm. Harbours at Hafnarhólmur sustained "biggest" damages, as well as some vessels docked there. Rocks from the shores also pushed over the area's roadways; this was cleaned up subsequently.

A weak area of low pressure developed on January 13 in southwestern Canada,[73] moving southeastwards into the High Plains while delivering heavy snowfall and began moving more southwards through the states of Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri into the early morning hours of January 14.[74] Later that day, at 21:00 UTC the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) began issuing periodic storm summary bulletins on the developing system, albeit with competing areas of low pressure.[75] Moving further south, a stronger low began forming over southern Missouri on January 15, moving into Arkansas and began strengthening due to a strong upper-level low located nearby.[76] Associated cold air in place over the aforementioned areas allowed snow to break out in areas further south, as the system began occluding later that night while wintry precipitation spread eastward towards the Southeastern United States into the early morning hours of January 16.[77] The system began turning more northward later that day into the southern Appalachian Mountains as the two centers began merging.[78]

The storm, unofficially named Winter Storm Izzy by The Weather Channel,[79] caused 11 inches (28 cm) of snow in Laurens, Iowa. There were also 78 car crashes reported, which caused 14 injures.[80][81] Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina all declared a state of emergency in preparation for the winter storm.[82]

A blizzard, unofficially named Winter Storm Kenan by The Weather Channel[87] caused widespread and significant conditions on the East Coast of the United States from January 27–30.

Winter storm warnings and blizzard warnings were issued for large swaths of the Northeast and New England, as blizzard conditions were expected to occur closer to the coastal areas of the region.[88] Approximately 1,200 flights nationwide were cancelled ahead of the storm. New York governor Kathy Hochul on January 28 urged residents, particularly those further east in the Long Island region, to prepare for high winds, power outages and near-blizzard conditions.[89] People were also urged to not travel at the height of the storm. Hochul also ordered that state emergency assets be ready in case the system tracked further west.[89] A "snow alert" was declared in New York City by the New York Department of Sanitation that day as well. On Long Island, Public Service Enterprise Group crews worked to cut tree branches in order to prevent power outages from snow weighing down on the branches and breaking.[89] In New Jersey, major roadways such as Interstate 95 and Interstate 78 were being brined by the New Jersey Department of Transportation since January 26.[90] The agency also stated that potential drivers should check their car settings and be prepared should the urgent need to travel arise.[90] Officials in Atlantic City announced a parking ban would go into effect at 5 p.m. on January 28, in addition to opening shelters. In Boston, Massachusetts, officials warned of up to 30 inches (76 cm) of snow through early on January 30.[91] Early on January 28, a Blizzard Warning was issued for Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts.[92] The state of Virginia declared a state of emergency on January 27 in preparation for the storm system.[93]

Blizzard conditions were confirmed at multiple locations in New England, including Providence, Boston, and Worcester.[94] Parts of Massachusetts saw as much as 2.5 ft (76 cm) of snow, and more than 80,000 homes were out of power by late January 29.[citation needed] Boston recorded its snowiest day in January on record, and also tied its all time one-day snowfall record with the North American blizzard of 2003, with 23.5 inches (600 mm) of snow falling.[95] Providence broke its all time daily snowfall record set in 1961, with 18.8 inches (480 mm) of snow falling.[96]

A widespread, damaging and severe winter storm affected a wide swath of most of the United States with widespread wintry precipitation, spreading from Texas all the way northeast to Maine in early February 2022.[97][98][99][100][101][102] Nineteen states in the U.S. received impacts from the system, with more than 90 million people that were in the storm's path.[103] The winter storm was unofficially named Winter Storm Landon by The Weather Channel and was also referred to by other media outlets as the Groundhog Snowstorm, primarily due to the storm impacting on Groundhog Day.[104][105][106] The National Weather Service issued winter storm watches from Wyoming to Maine.[107] Winter Storm Warnings were also issued from New Mexico to Maine, and at least 18 states were under winter storm warnings.[108][109] In northeastern Ohio, and Buffalo, New York, snow amounts of more than a foot were forecasted.[110][111][112] Amtrak cancelled or modified the routes several trains due to the storm.[113][114]

Due to wintry conditions across Dallas, Texas, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport was closed on February 3.[115] 1 person was killed in Dallas, primarily when a semi-truck crashed while traveling on I-45 while traveling over I-30, an additional dog died in the crash as well.[116] Three inches of snow were reported in Nashville, Tennessee, as well as 2 additional inches in Little Rock, Arkansas and Mayfield, Kentucky.[117] Over 120,000 people lost power in Shelby County, Tennessee.[118] On I-10 near Kerrville, Texas, several semi-trucks were jackknifed, causing drivers to be stranded on the interstate for hours.[119][120] A truck driver died on I-35 in Oklahoma after losing control on an icy part of the road.[121] A person in Oklahoma died after crashing in an ATV on a snow covered road.[122] Ice impacts reached as far south as Corpus Christi, Texas.[123]

Mid-March winter storm and cold wave[]

The storm developed on March 9 as a shortwave trough over the High Plains and Midwest before moving eastward and dropping moderate to heavy accumulations across the region from March 9–10. It was unofficially named “Winter Storm Quinlan” by the Weather Channel.[124] Snow got up to 20.0 inches (51 cm) in the interior and a dusting on the Interstate 95 corridor, and a 73 car pileup in Pennsylvania caused ten injuries.[125]

Following the an arctic cold wave from Canada went as far south as Texas and Georgia, causing record-breaking low temperatures for the month of March in many areas in the eastern half of the U.S. Tupelo, Mississippi was predicted to get colder then Anchorage, with a low of 20 °F (−7 °C).[126] Pittsburg had a low of 9 °F (−13 °C) on March 13.[127]

Other systems[]

Late October nor'easter[]

Main article: October 2021 nor'easter

A strong nor'easter in late October brought high winds, cutting power to more than 600,000 people in New England. Category 3 hurricane-force wind gusts of 113 mph (182 km/h) were recorded in Truro, Massachusetts, 103 mph (166 km/h) in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and 97 mph (156 km/h) in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.[128][129][130][131] Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts reported a wind gust to 94 mph (151 km/h) and Scituate reported a gust of 87 mph (140 km/h).[132] Unofficial wind gusts of 110 mph (180 km/h) in Wellfleet and 107 mph (172 km/h) in Provincetown, Massachusetts were recorded at exposed coastal locations.[133][134] A plane was damaged at the New Bedford Regional Airport after being blown off the runway. In Hingham, a large tree brought down wires.[132] According to Aon Benfield, damage was estimated at over $200 million (2021 USD).[135] The system would later move out to sea and acquire subtropical characteristics, becoming Subtropical Storm Wanda on October 31, later becoming a full-fledged tropical cyclone two days later. The precusor of Wanda caused a lot of flooding in the tri-state area with heavy amounts of rain, which killed two people.
