A winter storm, unofficially named Winter Storm Benji by The Weather Channel and Storm Zubin by the Free University of Berlin, impacted portions of the Southern, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeastern United States, and later across portions of Europe in December 2017. First developing as a low-pressure area in the Gulf of Mexico, the storm system impacted the Southern United States on December 8, producing rare snowfall totals and causing hazardous travel impacts across the South. The low then moved northeastward, reaching the Big Bend and western portions of Florida, while continuing to produce snowfall totals north of the low, across a narrow band stretching from Alabama to North Carolina. A second low-pressure area formed thereafter on December 9, producing additional snow totals across the East Coast of the United States, including portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States, before the low moved inland over Nova Scotia and The Maritimes the day after. After moving offshore, the low-pressure area strengthened, progressing over the northern Atlantic Ocean before moving over Sweden and Finland and subsequently dissipating.

The impacts of the winter storm in the Southern United States set numerous snowfall records across Texas and Louisiana and caused extensive damage to power infastructure and property damage that totaled $965,000, including $820,000 in Mississippi alone. Additionally, snowfall fell in the Florida panhandle, with snow flurries being reported as far south as Miramar Beach, Destin, and Pensacola. In southern Florida, severe weather also occurred after a squall line developed along a cold front, which produced wind damage that caused $50,000 in property damage across western and southern parts of the state. In the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States, hundreds of vehicle accidents occurred from the heavy snowfall and resulted in New York City receiving its first major snowfall of the 2017–18 winter season. The low-pressure area associated with the winter storm also caused high winds across Germany and severe weather in Switzerland. Overall, the impacts from the winter storm killed eight people and injured at least 45 others.

Meteorological synopsis

On December 5, 2017, a cold front moved through southern Texas, bringing rainfall and cold air behind it. The front then intensified, which caused temperatures across the region to further decrease into the NaNF range and resulted in the cooling of the atmosphere by December 7.[1] [2] On the same day, a separate cold front progressed across portions of the southern Great Plains and the Southeastern United States.[3] The combination of the atmospheric cooling, cold temperatures, and the cold front resulted in a wintry mix developing across southern Texas on December 7 and 8. As the cold front progressed eastward, a broad area of southwesterly wind above the atmosphere developed in the Gulf of Mexico along an upper-level trough that was located across the southern Plains, as moisture was pulled into the trough.[4] A low-pressure area developed in the Gulf of Mexico along a frontal boundary, and moved northeastward towards the Big Bend region in Florida.[5] A zone of intense frontogenesis also formed north of the low-pressure area near the Texas coast, and moved northeast parallel to the low, producing heavy snowfall across a narrow area extending from east-central Alabama to northern Georgia to western North Carolina.

As the low moved across the Southeastern United States on December 9, another low-pressure area developed along a surface front off the Carolina coast. The second low tracked northward, producing additional snowfall across the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeastern United States, before moving inland across Nova Scotia on December 10. The low-pressure area then reached a pressure of 983mb while over The Maritimes in the late morning hours of December 10.[6] [7] As it moved northeast and continued to strengthen away from Newfoundland and Labrador on December 11, the low-pressure area traversed the northern Atlantic Ocean before moving inland over Sweden on December 15.[8] [9] It then moved over Finland on December 17 before dissipating on December 18.[10] [11] The winter storm was unofficially named Winter Storm Benji by The Weather Channel and Storm Zubin by Free University of Berlin, and was rated as a Category 2 in the United States with a Regional Snowfall Index of 3.077 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.[12] [13]

Preparations and impact

Southern United States

Texas

Icy conditions led to a 26-car collision on a Interstate 410 ramp near San Antonio on December 8, which injured one person and forced the closure of the ramp.[14] [15] Vehicle accidents also contributed to closures on Interstate 10 and Interstate 610.[16] Numerous highways and roads were covered in ice, including Interstate 10, Interstate 45, and Interstate 69, which created hazardous travel conditions.[17] There were several vehicle crashes across the Houston area.[18] [19] Snow fell across several major cities in the state, including in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, and snow fell as far south as Brownsville, where a trace of snow fell on December 8, which was the second-ever measurable snowfall there and set a daily snowfall record.[20] [21] In addition, Corpus Christi received measurable snow, the first since 2004, and San Antonio received snowfall in December for the second time on record, which was also the second-earliest snowfall there.[22] [23] Additionally, measurable snow fell in Houston in December for the first time since 2009,[24] and daily snowfall records were broken on December 7 and 8.[25] The Beaumont-Port Arthur area received its first December snowfall ever, where 3inches of snow fell, and was also tied for the second-highest snowfall total ever.[26] In Laredo, 1.7inches of snow accumulated, which set a snowfall record on December 8. Multiple flights were delayed at Austin–Bergstrom International Airport,[27] where 1.3inches of snow fell and the first snowfall in December since 1948, and nearly 63,000 power outages occurred across Texas.[28] Several people contracted hypothermia that resulted from the cold temperatures and low wind chills caused by the winter storm, which killed three people and hospitalized two others.[29] Across the state, the winter weather impacts caused $85,000 in property damage.[29]

As a winter weather advisory was in effect for central portions of Louisiana,[30] Lafayette and Lake Charles recorded their snowiest December days on record, with 2.1inches and 1.7inches of snow respectively. Snow fell across the Baton Rouge area as well, covering vehicles with snow,[31] as 3.5inches of snow fell, which was the third-highest total recorded there. A trace of snow fell in New Orleans,[32] as the state experienced below-freezing temperatures, causing ice to form, and resulted in seven casualties.[33] In Kentwood, 6.5inches of snow fell, the highest snowfall total across the state, while 5inches of snow fell in Catahoula Parish southwest of Jonesville.[34] [35] [36] There were 63 vehicle crashes across St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington parishes,[37] and nearly 100,000 power outages occurred across the state.[38] Icy conditions on overpasses closed portions of Interstate 10,[39] and a curfew was set in Tangipahoa Parish as there were more than 29,000 power outages across the parish.[40] Several shelters were opened in New Orleans, while a warming shelter was opened in St. Tammany Parish.[41] A motorcycle restriction was implemented on the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway bridge following the winter storm,[42] and in Catahoula Parish, property damage amounted to $10,000.[43] [44]
