Up to near 11 inches of heavy wet snow combined with winds gusting to 70 mph to result in widespread blizzard conditions. Travel was impossible due to many roads blocked by snow. Numerous trees and power lines were knocked down, leading to a prolonged period of power outages across the county. Adverse effects caused by the storm and disruption in power included losses to livestock.
Trees and power lines were reported down from the intense thunderstorm winds. In addition, a roof was partially torn off of the Buckskin Bar and Grill and an exterior sign was blown off of another building in Killdeer. Damage was also sustained to other buildings, along with two lightning related fires.
Power lines were reported down due to the strong winds.
Wind gusts up to around 45 mph combined with falling snow and existing loose snow cover to create widespread blizzard conditions across Dunn County.

The total estimated damage from this storm (January 18th through January 25th) was just under one million dollars.
