episode_narrativeAn extended period of rain and freezing rain resulted in significant icing conditions over parts of east central and southern Minnesota. Over 1 inch of rain occurred over much of the area resulting in street flooding due to snow clogged sewers. 1/2 to 1 inch thick ice accumulations over much of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area resulted in significant tree damage and power outages. More than 180,000 metro residents were without power for some part of the storm. Sporadic outages continued through the 22nd. The entire town of Lafayette in Nicollet County was without power for a time. 5 Red Cross shelters were opened in the metro area to assist people who were forced from their homes due to a lack of heat. Significantly colder air overspread the area the night of the 17th changing the rain to light snow and caused one foot thick ice to form on roads.
