A low level jet ahead of the front led to the storms becoming more intense as they moved across the area. These storms produced damaging winds that resulted in sporadic reports of downed trees and powerlines.
A powerful storm system moved from the southern plains through eastern Wisconsin, bringing copious amounts of precipitation to northwest Wisconsin from December 30th through the morning of January 1st. Deep tropical moisture out ahead of the storm brought heavy rains to the area on December 30th and 31st. Many areas saw over 1 inch of rain. Cold air wrapped around the system and changed the rain over to snow New Year's Eve. The snow finally ended during the early morning hours of New Year's Day, with the heaviest amounts of 6 to 12 inches reported across Ashland and Iron counties.
