Wider weather episode

Low pressure across the Great Lakes on Christmas Eve (December 24th) slowly traveled and transferred energy to a new coastal low near Cape Cod during the night of December 25th. This delivered a wintry mix of mainly light freezing rain and freezing drizzle beginning the morning of December 25th and ending as freezing drizzle and light snow in the morning of December 26th.

Snow accumulations were less than an inch and ice accumulations were generally less than a tenth of an inch with little activity along the Canadian border.
