According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, 66 percent of Connecticut, 28 percent of New Hampshire, 24 percent of Rhode Island, 10 percent of Massachusetts, 3 percent of Maine, and less than 1 percent of Vermont were experiencing abnormally dry conditions at the start of December. In addition, 75 percent of Rhode Island, 27 percent of Connecticut, and less than 1 percent of Massachusetts were experiencing moderate drought. Abundant precipitation eased dry conditions region-wide by mid-month.

A slow-moving low pressure system brought a wintry mix to New England from December 9 to 11. Up to 24 inches of snow, a coating of ice, up to 6 inches of rain, and wind gusts to 62 mph were reported. Travel disruptions were the biggest impact from the storm. On the 9th, 120 crashes were reported during the morning commute in Connecticut, while coastal areas of Massachusetts experienced road closures due to flooding. In addition, the strong winds, and heavy snow in some areas, knocked down trees and power lines, resulting in power outages.
