| Episode Narrative | A winter storm impacted portions of northeast Iowa starting on December 23rd, continuing through the Christmas holiday.

From December 23 through December 26, rainfall amounts totaled 1 to 2 inches. During the same time period, snowfall accumulations were mainly 2 to 5 inches, with the highest amount of 5.5 inches reported at Cresco (Howard County). Highest ice accumulations were around a quarter of an inch. |
| Event Narrative | An area of freezing rain moved into the area during the afternoon hours of December 23rd before changing over to snow. Ice accumulations totaled three eights of an inch in Edgewood. |
