The eastern half of the nation faced the heaviest snowstorm of the season with heavy snow from the Great Lakes to the Mid Atlantic. Baltimore reported 4 inches and Philadelphia 3 inches, while parts of New York and New England saw up to 8 inches. The system weakened along the Appalachians but dumped snow in the Ohio Valley and mid Atlantic states. Traffic disruptions and hazardous driving followed, with some Carolinas and Virginia experiencing freezing rain. Farmers in drought regions welcomed the moisture. Texas officials valued the storm at millions in relief for drought-stricken areas, including St. Louis, where no measurable precipitation had occurred in 47 days. Four deaths were recorded in Missouri.
