A slow moving storm system, brought a long duration of freezing rain to a large portion of the nations mid section. Several rounds of freezing rain were observed from December 9th through December 11, 2007.
Canadian high pressure kept cold air at the surface with readings in the upper 20s to lower 30s. Very warm and moist air aloft was transported north ahead of the storm system. The result of these two ingredients led to several rounds of freezing rain.
Ice rapidly accumulated on many surfaces, especially trees and power lines. Ice accumulation was particularly devasting along and north of the Missouri River. Ice accumulations of 3/4 of an inch were common, with isolated accumulations around an inch, along and north of a Bean Lake to Trenton, to Unionville line.

Numerous tree branched and power lines were downed, especially along an north of a St. Joseph to Unionville. Around 165,000 residents went without power, some for almost two weeks. There were also numerous traffic accidents due to the icy roads.
