1 SW Seminole 29 1435CST 0.1 60
The Gaines County Emergency Manager
photographed a brief tornado just
southwest of Seminole. Several reports
of funnel clouds were reported across
west Texas during the afternoon of the
29th as scattered thunderstorms
developed within a modified tropical
airmass. One such funnel southwest of
Seminole briefly became a tornado
(perhaps a landspout) as an outflow
boundary undercut the updraft of a newly
developing storm. A tin roof was blown
off of a barn by the weak tornado that
lasted less than one minute.
Gaines County

Seminole 1450CST
After the landspout tornado southwest of

thunderstorm propagated toward the city
from the northwest. This storm produced
a downburst north of Seminole. The West
Texas Mesonet site two miles north of of
the city recorded a wind gust of 73 MPH.
Police Department officials estimated 80
MPH winds as damaging winds spread
south. Several power poles and lines
were blown down by the winds. In
addition, large tree limbs also were
broken and at least one large tree was
uprooted. A lack of structural damage
suggested that the strongest winds did
not occur within the city limits.

A significant and fairly prolonged
winter storm/ice storm affected nearly
all of North and Central Georgia from
the evening of Friday January 28th to
late morning on Sunday January 30th. The
winter storm was a result of a very
strong and very cold Arctic surface high
pressure system located across the
Mid-Atlantic states and an upper-level
disturbance moving across the region
from the west. North of a line from La
Grange, to Thomaston, to Sandersville,
the precipitation fell mostly as a
mixture of sleet and freezing rain, with
typical accumulations of one-half inch
glaze ice and one to two inches of
sleet. Some areas in North Central and
Northeast Georgia experienced
significant glaze ice accumulations of
three-fourths to one inch. Further
south, mainly south of a La Grange, to
Thomaston, to Sandersville line, most of
the frozen precipitation fell as
freezing rain, with 1/4 to 1/2 inch
accumulations of glaze ice common as far
south as McRae, Abbeville, and Americus.
In the southern areas, however, the ice
accumulations were generally confined to
trees, power lines, and other exposed
objects with little or no accumulation
of ice on the ground. Extensive damage
to trees and power lines were reported
throughout the area, especially in North
Central, Northeast, and Central Georgia.
Damage estimates were in the millions.

reported on the slick ice and sleet
covered roads, especially in the Atlanta
Metropolitan area. The summary below

Low pressure tracked from Kansas across
southeast Minnesota into northeast
Wisconsin between December 31st and
January 1st. As a result a wide swath
of wintry precipitation blanketed the
southern half of Minnesota between late
morning and late evening on the 1st. A
mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain
was observed in most locations during
this period. The heaviest snowfall
accumulations, around 4 inches, were
reported around Cambridge and
Princeton. Sleet accumulations were the
primary weather feature across much of

line from St. James to Red Wing,
freezing rain was predominant. Ice
accumulations of up to 1/4 inch were
reported in Owatonna. The mixed bag of
precipitation caused hazardous travel
conditions region wide.

Low pressure moved from South Dakota
into southern Minnesota on the 21st.
Periods of snow resulted between the
morning of the 21st and the early
morning hours of the 22nd. Snowfall
totals ranged from around an inch
southwest of a line from Madison to
Hanley Falls to Springfield to Fairmont
where freezing rain and sleet mixed in
with the snow to a swath of 6 to 8
inches stretching from Alexandria to
St. Cloud to the Twin Cities
metropolitan area. After the snow began
to taper off during the predawn hours
of the 22nd the winds increased
dramatically. Sustained winds increased
to 30 to 40 MPH across west central and
south central Minnesota with gusts as
high as 64 MPH. Sustained winds across
the remainder of southern Minnesota
reached 25 to 35 MPH with gusts up to
50 MPH. Peak wind gusts included 64 MPH
at New Ulm, 61 MPH at Blue Earth and
Madelia, 60 MPH at St. James and
Fairmont, 58 MPH at Starbuck, 55 MPH at
Olivia and Morris, 54 MPH at Appleton,
52 MPH at Granite Falls, 51 MPH at
Redwood Falls, 47 MPH at Mankato, 46 MPH
at Alexandria, 41 MPH at St. Cloud, and
40 MPH at the Minneapolis/St. Paul
International Airport. The gusty winds
caused widespread blowing and drifting
of snow southwest of a line from
Alexandria to Willmar to Glencoe to
Faribault which dropped visibilities to
near zero at times. Snowplow operators
were pulled off the road between
midnight and 4 AM on the 22nd because
of the blizzard conditions. In
addition, Interstate 94 was closed west
of Alexandria due to severe drifting
and low visibilities. Snow drifts of up
to 3 feet were reported after the winds
died down around midday on the 22nd.
Scattered power outages were reported
during the pre-dawn hours of the 22nd
in Redwood, Brown and Watonwan counties
after ice coated power lines were blown
down by the high winds. Numerous
automobile accidents were also reported
region wide during the storm.

A significant and fairly prolonged
winter storm/ice storm affected nearly
all of North and Central Georgia from
the evening of Friday January 28th to
late morning on Sunday January 30th. The
winter storm was a result of a very
strong and very cold Arctic surface high
pressure system located across the
Mid-Atlantic states and an upper-level
disturbance moving across the region
from the west. North of a line from La
Grange, to Thomaston, to Sandersville,
the precipitation fell mostly as a
mixture of sleet and freezing rain, with
typical accumulations of one-half inch
glaze ice and one to two inches of
sleet. Some areas in North Central and
Northeast Georgia experienced
significant glaze ice accumulations of
three-fourths to one inch. Further
south, mainly south of a La Grange, to
Thomaston, to Sandersville line, most of
the frozen precipitation fell as
freezing rain, with 1/4 to 1/2 inch
accumulations of glaze ice common as far
south as McRae, Abbeville, and Americus.
In the southern areas, however, the ice
accumulations were generally confined to
trees, power lines, and other exposed
objects with little or no accumulation
of ice on the ground. Extensive damage
to trees and power lines were reported
throughout the area, especially in North
Central, Northeast, and Central Georgia.
Damage estimates were in the millions.

reported on the slick ice and sleet
covered roads, especially in the Atlanta
Metropolitan area. The summary below

Winter Storm
A significant and fairly prolonged
winter storm/ice storm affected nearly
all of North and Central Georgia from
the evening of Friday January 28th to
late morning on Sunday January 30th. The
winter storm was a result of a very
strong and very cold Arctic surface high
pressure system located across the
Mid-Atlantic states and an upper-level
disturbance moving across the region
from the west. North of a line from La
Grange, to Thomaston, to Sandersville,
the precipitation fell mostly as a
mixture of sleet and freezing rain, with
typical accumulations of one-half inch
glaze ice and one to two inches of
sleet. Some areas in North Central and
Northeast Georgia experienced
significant glaze ice accumulations of
three-fourths to one inch. Further
south, mainly south of a La Grange, to
Thomaston, to Sandersville line, most of
the frozen precipitation fell as
freezing rain, with 1/4 to 1/2 inch
accumulations of glaze ice common as far
south as McRae, Abbeville, and Americus.
In the southern areas, however, the ice
accumulations were generally confined to
trees, power lines, and other exposed
objects with little or no accumulation
of ice on the ground. Extensive damage
to trees and power lines were reported
throughout the area, especially in North
Central, Northeast, and Central Georgia.
Damage estimates were in the millions.

This snow event actually ended during
the afternoon and evening of March 1,
2005. A strong low pressure system
moving up the east coast joined
forces with an upper level low
pressure area, and its associated
surface cold front moving in from
the plains, to produce a significant
snow event for the the higher
elevations of eastern Kentucky. The
coastal low brought cold Canadian
air southward into eastern Kentucky,
while the low moving in from the
west drew warm, moist air northward
from the Gulf of Mexico. Initially,
all the precipitation was rain, but
early on February 28, the temperatures
dropped enough for the precipitation
to change over to all snow. Pine
Mountain ended up with 4" of snow,
while Black Mountain came in with
the highest snowfall total of 14".

flooded around high tide. Damage
occurred to the dock at the
Charleston Harbor Marina due to
high water levels. The most
significant impact occurred at Edisto

KENTUCKY, Eastern
KYZ088-118 0 0 0 0
This snow event actually ended during
the afternoon and evening of March 1,
2005. A strong low pressure system
moving up the east coast joined
forces with an upper level low
pressure area, and its associated
surface cold front moving in from
the plains, to produce a significant
snow event for the the higher
elevations of eastern Kentucky. The
coastal low brought cold Canadian
air southward into eastern Kentucky,
while the low moving in from the
west drew warm, moist air northward
from the Gulf of Mexico. Initially,
all the precipitation was rain, but
early on February 28, the temperatures
dropped enough for the precipitation
to change over to all snow. Pine
Mountain ended up with 4" of snow,
while Black Mountain came in with
the highest snowfall total of 14".

KENTUCKY, Eastern
KYZ088-118 Heavy Snow
This snow event actually ended during
the afternoon and evening of March 1,
2005. A strong low pressure system
moving up the east coast joined
forces with an upper level low
pressure area, and its associated
surface cold front moving in from
the plains, to produce a significant
snow event for the the higher
elevations of eastern Kentucky. The
coastal low brought cold Canadian
air southward into eastern Kentucky,
while the low moving in from the
west drew warm, moist air northward
from the Gulf of Mexico. Initially,
all the precipitation was rain, but
early on February 28, the temperatures
dropped enough for the precipitation
to change over to all snow. Pine
Mountain ended up with 4" of snow,
while Black Mountain came in with
the highest snowfall total of 14".

SOUTH CAROLINA, South Coastal
SCZ047>050
Heavy Surf/High Surf
A deep low pressure system moved
along the southeast coast on the
evening of the 27th. Strong onshore
flow created high surf conditions
around high tide. These conditions
caused moderate beach erosion and
coastal flooding along the southeast
South Carolina coast. Several roads
that crossed tidal creeks were
flooded around high tide. Damage
occurred to the dock at the
Charleston Harbor Marina due to
high water levels. The most
significant impact occurred at Edisto
Beach, where water washed over the
dunes and onto a roadway. Also,
several homes were condemned in
Edisto Beach because the sand which
provided a foundation was washed
away.
