An early season storm system brought a mix of rain and snow to eastern North Dakota on October 14th and 15th. Most of the precipitation through the early part of Wednesday (14th) fell as rain, as surface temperatures near the Red River Valley warmed up to around 40 degrees. However, just to the west of the Red River Valley, across the Dazey, Valley City, and Lisbon areas, temperatures were about ten degrees colder, and most of the precipitation fell as slushy snow. Six inches of snow fell at Lisbon and Litchville and 7.5 inches fell in Valley City. The heavy, wet snow broke many tree branches and power lines, which resulted in sporadic power outages for 1500 Valley City residents. Dozens of vehicles slid into the ditch along Interstate 94 in Barnes County.
