The Weather Channel named Winter Storm Titan on Thursday, Feb. 27. Its impacts began on the West Coast Friday, Feb. 28, with heavy rainfall and mountain snow.
Despite a prolonged and exceptional drought, flooding resulted in parts of the West as some areas saw excessive rainfall.
The storm then shifted across the Rockies and into parts of the central and eastern U.S. Saturday and Sunday, March 1-2. Titan continued to impact parts of the East on March 3.
Below is a state-by-state breakdown of significant storm reports from Winter Storm Titan through early Monday afternoon. Because Titan brought such significant rainfall to the Southwest, we include some of the significant reports there in addition to the usual snow and ice totals across the country.
