sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
A mixture of freezing rain, sleet, and snow resulted in a slight galzing of ice and sleet.  Ice accumulations were only about 1/8 inch.  Toward the end of this event, 1 inch snow accumulations were reported.  During the event, northeast winds were gusting to 26 to 30 knots (30 to 35 mph).  There were some reports of minor tree and power line damage.  Numerous vehicle accidents were noted in newspapers.  One driver was critically injured in a vehicle accident near Oregon (Dane Co.).  Many social events were cancelled, and some schools cancelled classes.  Synoptically, low pressure moved east across central Illinois with a warm front ahead of it. Warm, moist, and somewhat unstable air was pulled north up and over a layer of cold air about 3 to 5,000 feet thick over Wisconsin.

A strong push of warm and moist air took place over the central U.S. during the early morning hours of the 30th.  A nearly stationary frontal boundary extended east to west to the south of Iowa.  South winds at the 850 mb level were blowing near 60 kts over the frontal boundary.  Thunderstorms fired up quite rapidly during the overnight hours.  Initially the storms were below severe levels, but were producing small hail.  As the low level jet became stronger, the storms intensified.  Pea to marble size hail was common by daybreak.  A cluster of storms became severe as they moved through central Iowa.  Nickel size hail was common over the metro Des Moines area.  A report of golf ball size hail was received from south of the Des Moines area in Norwalk.  During the morning of the 30th, as the storms were in a state of decay, lightning struck a barn in Tama County at Dysart.  The barn was set on fire and was a total loss.

Gusty south winds of 40 to 50 MPH across southeast Missouri brought down some tree limbs and trees. A 5-foot diameter tree, estimated to be 100 feet tall, was blown down in Sikeston. Sikeston public works employees cleaned up over a dozen fallen trees. Peak wind gusts at the Cape Girardeau Airport were measured at 44 MPH. At Poplar Bluff, the strong winds caused extensive power outages that left about half the city without power. A severed power line created a small grass fire in Poplar Bluff. A sign was blown over onto a parked truck. A few trees and power lines were blown down in the city of Cape Girardeau.

A sloppy mix of heavy, wet, snow and some freezing drizzle occurred over southern Wisconsin, resulting in snow accumulations of 2 to 5.5 inches. The freezing drizzle left some crusty layers.  The wind were out of the east-northeast, gusting on occasions to 30 to 34 knots (35 to 39 mph).  Snow accumulations were greater near the Illinois border: up to 5.5 inches fell in South Wayne (Lafayette Co.) and around 5.0 inches was noted around Bristol (Kenosha Co.).  Several social events were cancelled, and some schools cancelled classes.  Synoptically, low pressure moved east across central Illinois. Warm air advection between 850 and 700 mb was maximized along the Wisconsin-Illinois border.   Dry air in the lower layer of the atmosphere feeding into the low pressure reduced snow amounts to 2 to 4 inches along and north of Interstate 94 between Madison (Dane Co.) and Milwaukee (Milwaukee Co.).  Newspapers noted numerous vehicle accidents during the morning commute.  Icy roads resulted in one person being killed (indirectly-related) and another critically injured in an accident near Waunakee (Dane Co.) at about 0800CST.

A supercell thunderstorm moved east across northern Christian County and extreme southern Muhlenberg County, producing a swath of large hail and a weak tornado. The only reported wind damage was in and near Crofton. A National Weather Service damage survey concluded a brief tornado downed numerous trees in a wooded area half a mile west of town. The remainder of the damage, including nearly all the property damage, was caused by straight-line winds. Numerous trees were uprooted and pushed over onto fences and other non-residence structures. Two barns were damaged, and a large plate glass window was broken in a store. The damage area ended at Old Madisonville Road on the east side of Crofton. Peak winds were estimated near 80 MPH in the tornado and 60 to 70 MPH in the straight-line wind gusts. Witnesses reported that golf-ball size hail accompanied the damaging straight-line winds at Crofton.
