A large, lumbering storm system moved through the Upper Midwest on New Year's Eve Day, bringing with it large amounts of precipitation in the form of rain, freezing rain, and snow. Precipitation totals topped one inch in many southern and eastern Minnesota communities. Elsewhere, precipitation totals were greater than one half inch. Many single-day all-time precipitation records were set for December 31. In some areas, the rain changed to snow early enough in the day to lead to significant snowfall accumulation. A swath of at least six inches of snow extended from the Fairmont area, north through the western Twin Cities suburbs, through Cambridge and Mora, and into the Iron Range and Minnesota's Arrowhead region.
