sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
Heavy snow, accompanied by northeast to north winds gustingn to around 40 mph, affected all of southeast Wisconsin. This system was the first in a series of winter disturbances that accumulatively would lead to new, monthly snowfall records for  December, and new record snow depths at any one time.  Accumulations ranged from 6 to 8 inches in Fond du Lac County on up to 14.5 inches in Racine and Kenosha Counties (at Wind Point and the city of Kenosha, respectively).  A new calendar day snowfall record was set at Milwaukee's Mitchell Field on the 11th where 13.6 inches fell, breaking the old record of 13.1 inches set back in 1987. This is also the greatest total for any calendar day in December at Milwaukee.  Dozens of vehicle accidents were noted due to slippery roads and blowing snow. Other notable snowfall totals were 12 inches in Sheboygan (Sheboygan Co.), an estimated 11 to 11.5 inches in extreme southeast Waukesha County, and an estimated 10 to 10.5 inches in extreme southeast Ozaukee County. Synoptically, a surface low moved from central Colorado Sunday night December 10th, to north of Dallas, TX, by the end of the 10th, to east-cental Illinois by noon CST on the 11th, and then to near Toledo, Ohio by 2100CST. Strong upper level forcing due to a coupled jet structure over Wisconsin, along with strong mid-level differential positive vorticity advection, led to significant upward vertical motions over southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, thus deepening and slowing the surface low.This system produced a heavy band of snow, ranging from 8 to 12 inches, across northeast Iowa, extreme northern Illinois, and southern Wisconsin. As the surface low moved into western Indiana, gusty northeast winds to 30 knots, in the northwest quadrant of the circulation around the low, drew moisture from Lake Michigan. This enhanced the snowfall in the counties adjoining the lake from north of Chicago, to northern Milwaukee county. Snowfall totals in these lakeshore locations were between 12 and 15 inches.

Several trees were blown down near Bluff Springs.  One home suffered minor roof damage.
A deep low pressure center tracked northeastward across the eastern Great Lakes bringing strong southerly winds, temperatures in the 50s, and heavy rains into the region.  In general, 2 to 4 inches of rain fell across the area, and the wind and warm temperatures rapidly melted up to a foot of snow that was on the ground.  The rainfall and snowmelt caused several rivers and streams to overflow their banks.  The Connecticut River at West Lebanon rose above the 18 foot flood stage from 11:45 pm on the 17th until 10:15 am on the 18th, reaching a crest of 19.86 feet.  The Pemigewasset River flooded at both Woodstock and Plymouth.  At Woodstock, the River was above its 9 ft flood stage from 5:15 pm on the 17th until 5:30 am on the 18th, reaching a crest of 11.99 feet.  At Plymouth, the Pemigewasset River rose above its 13 foot flood stage from 12:30 am until 6:00 pm on the 18th, cresting at 16.41 feet.  The Saco River in Conway went above its 9 ft flood stage from 9:00 am until 10 pm on the 18th, cresting at 10.95 feet.  Several small rivers and streams in Grafton and Merrimack Counties also overflowed their banks.

A major winter storm produced 2 to 6 inches of snow across southeast Missouri, followed by 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice. The snow began shortly before sunrise, falling at rates near one inch per hour. Snow accumulations before the changeover to ice ranged from just an inch or two at New Madrid up to 6 inches at Perryville.  By midday, the snow changed to freezing rain after a brief period of sleet. Light to occasionally moderate freezing rain fell during the afternoon and early evening hours. The heavy precipitation was caused by a strong upper level disturbance that tracked east-northeast from the southern Rockies, across the southern Plains, and then over the lower Mississippi Valley. A strong southerly flow of milder air just above ground level was unable to scour out very cold air right at the surface, which produced an extended period of snow and ice. The liquid equivalent of all the frozen and freezing precipitation was between three quarters of an inch and one inch. Numerous accidents occurred, most of which were minor. Most schools were closed by the storm. Ice on trees and power lines contributed to scattered power outages, mainly east of the Poplar Bluff area.

Winter Storm in SCOTT, MISSOURI
From 13-DEC-00 08:00:00 to 13-DEC-00 19:00:00 (CST)
Reported by: GENERAL PUBLIC
A major winter storm produced 3 to 4 inches of snow across southwest Indiana, followed by 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice. The snow began during the mid to late-morning hours, falling at rates near one inch per hour. During the midday hours, the snow changed to freezing rain after a brief period of sleet. Light to occasionally moderate freezing rain fell during the afternoon and early evening hours. The heavy precipitation was caused by a strong upper level disturbance that tracked east-northeast from the southern Rockies, across the southern Plains, and then over the lower Mississippi Valley. A strong southerly flow of milder air just above ground level was unable to scour out very cold air right at the surface, which produced an extended period of snow and ice. The liquid equivalent of all the frozen and freezing precipitation was between three quarters of an inch and one inch. Numerous accidents occurred, most of which were minor. In Vanderburgh County, including Evansville, police reported more than 50 accidents. Most schools and some businesses were closed by the storm.

Thunderstorm Wind in MADISON, KENTUCKY
From 16-DEC-00 15:15:00 to 16-DEC-00 15:15:00 (EST)
Location: RICHMOND
Magnitude: 60 E
Reported by: LAW ENFORCEMENT

Power lines were blown down within the Richmond city limits.
Rain earlier in the week had saturated the ground over parts of central Kentucky. The ground had also been frozen for a few days prior to this rainfall event, hindering runoff. A low pressure system over the southern plains brought warm, moist air into central Kentucky, producing rainfall amounts up to 5 inches. There were widespread reports of high water and road closings throughout central Kentucky, and in these four counties, bridges were covered by water.
