The remnants of Tropical Cyclone Oswald impacted Australia. Two people were missing and the body of a third person was recovered from raging floodwaters as severe storms pounded northeastern Australia on January 27, 2013 , forcing more than 1,000 to flee their homes. The Insurance Council of Australia declared a statewide catastrophe in several towns and cities and that major flood warnings had been issued. About 1-1.5 metres of rain was estimated to have fallen since the storms began. The rain depression is expected to finally mobilise southward overnight to begin tormenting the southeast.

Big Story Weather from January 25-27: This past weekend was very active with weather systems stretching from the Pacific Northwest all the way into the Northeast and Midwest. We had everything from avalanche warnings in the cascades to freezing rain in the Midwest and snow in the Northeast, while mild conditions where over the Southeast and Gulf Coast region with some places getting close to 75F for high temps over the weekend.

High pressure along the Southeast Coast will bring a nice day to the Southeast and Gulf Coast. Another area of low pressure moving out of the Southwest will start to bring showers and snow showers to the region and this will push into the Northern Plains by this evening. High pressure over the Canadian Prairies will bring frigid air back to the Northern US by later this week. A warm front along the West Coast will bring showers to the region. Below is the weather for a few select cities.

One to two inches of snow fell Tuesday night over Shippingport, Pa., as a result of an unusual cause: steam from a nearby nuclear power plant.

The snow was not fluorescent and not radioactive, as some people joked on social media, but it did take a special set of "ingredients" to form.
