An ice jam developed in the Tanana River about one half mile downstream of the Boondox area during the morning of the 28th. The ice jam caused the Tanana River water to flow overland into Piledriver slough and across Portions of the old Richardson Highway where the water was 3 feet deep in spots and made the highway impassable. Private property and some residences were surrounded by water. The flooding was compounded by warm temperatures that caused considerable snowmelt and raised the water levels significantly in the Tanana River. Three to four homes had minor damage at or near the first floor level and a few property owners had minor damage to their access roads; thus a total of $500.00.

Warm air surged north ahead of a strong low pressure system, while cold air over Lake Superior was pushed onshore by strong easterly winds. Heavy rain froze on contact and created severe icing conditions along the north shore of Lake Superior from Two Harbors to Grand Marais. Ice accumulated as far west as the Duluth area. The worst of the storm hit Lake and far southeast Cook counties, including the towns of Finland, Silver Bay, Isabella and Lutsen. Ice accumulated to an inch or more in these areas on the 23rd. Tens of thousands of trees were downed by the ice. In some forested areas just inland from Lake Superior, 75 percent or more of the trees were damaged. Lingering temperatures at or below freezing sustained the ice for several days afterward. The Red Cross set up shelters, as many people were without power for several days, and some for up to a week. The ice storm was so damaging that FEMA declared Lake County a federal disaster area, making it eligible for federal aid.
