Weather History for January 3
 
1777   An overnight freeze enabled George Washington and his troops to flank the British at Trenton, cross their lines at Princeton, and seek security in the hills of northern New Jersey.

2002   An ice storm struck Atlanta, canceling thousands of flights. The storm was caused by a low pressure system that developed over the Gulf of Mexico, crossed northern Florida, and then headed up the East Coast.
