December 31st:
On this day in 1910, Fort Good Hope, Northwest Territories in Canada fell to -79.
On this day in 1933, Los Angeles, California saw 7.36 inches in 24 hours leading to the worse flood in history for the city. Led to 44 fatalities.
On this day in 1947, a tornado outbreak occurred across the Southern U.S. causing up to 20 fatalities. While the total number of tornadoes is unknown, it produced 7 significant, 1 violent, and 3 killer tornadoes. One notable tornado was an F4 that hit Cotton Valley, Louisiana (north of Shreveport) and causing 14 of the 20 fatalities.
On this day in 1954, Tropical Storm Alice formed in the eastern Caribbean. It would intensify into a 90mph, gusts to 110mph, category 1 hurricane with a pressure of 987mbar by January 2nd, 1955. While no fatalities occurred, it did cause up to $623,000 in damages in the Lesser Antilles. Alice is the only Atlantic hurricane to span two calendar years and only the second Atlantic storm to do so with Zeta (2005) being the other.
On this day in 1963, a snowstorm struck the Deep South. 15.1 inches fell at Meridian, MS, 10.5 inches fell at Bay St. Louis, MS, and 4.5 inches fell at New Orleans, Louisiana. Former Alabama Football Coach "Bear" Bryant said that the only thing that could have messed up his team's chances in the Sugar Bowl against Ole Miss in New Orleans was a freak snow. Even with the 4.5 inches that fell the night before the game, Alabama won 12-7.
On this day in 1967, the fabled ice Bowl NFL Playoff game was held in -13 degree temperature at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
On this day in 1982, the rain gauge total for December at Puu Kukui, Hawaii (elevation almost 5,800 feet near the top of the West Maui Mountains) recorded 42 inches. The total for the year was 704.83 inches. This is the all-time greatest calendar year rainfall for the U.S.
On this day in 1989, Northway, Alaska recorded 31.85 inches of mercury (1078.5 mbar). The highest pressure ever recorded in the United States.
On this day in 1991, Valdez, Alaska recorded 137.1 inches of snow for the month of December, setting a new all-time record snowfall for December.
On this day in 1994, a tornado hit Cotton Valley, Louisiana causing up to 18 fatalities.
On this day in 2003, Tri-Cities Regional Airport in eastern Tennessee had it's wettest year with 65.65 inches.
On this day in 2004, 1,819 tornadoes occurred in the US. This is the most tornadoes ever recorded in a year. Average per year is around 1200.
On this day in 2008, Hart, Michigan recorded it's snowiest year on record with over 200 inches of snow and up to 140.7 inches in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
On this day in 2010, a severe weather/tornado outbreak occurred across five states including Mississippi and Alabama. Produced up to 37 tornadoes, leading to 9 fatalities and $138.98 million in damages. Thunderstorm gusts up to 80mph were recorded at 8 locations. There were 7 EF-3 tornadoes two of which hit Cincinnati, Arkansas and the other affecting Fenton-Sunset Hills, Missouri.
Another interesting fact: There's been just 1 tropical system globally to reach or maintain category 5 intensity during the New Year's timeframe which is Super Typhoon Hester (1952) with max winds of 185mph in the Western Pacific.

On this day in 1916, Rainmaker Charles Hatfield offered to bring rain to parched San Diego, California for $10,000. He began burning strange chemicals on this date to summon rain. It did begin to rain on January 10th which ended up being a problem because it never stopped raining for days resulting in damaging floods. The city refused to pay him the money.
On this day in 1955, Tropical Storm Violet formed in the Western Pacific. A few days later, it peaked at 85mph, gusts to 105mph, with a pressure of 995mbar before making landfall on the Philippines. Dissipated January 6th.
On this day in 1970, an intense tornado hit Bulahdelah, New South Wales, Australia. While this tornado was never officially given a rating, it is considered to be a F5. This is the strongest tornado in Australia's history. It is estimated to have wiped out 1 million trees.
On this day in 1984, a severe cold spell finally broke in Topeka, Kansas as the temperature rose above 32 after 554 hours below freezing. The city spent a record setting 95 consecutive hours at or below 0 from December 21st to December 25th, 1983.
On this day in 2002, intense lake effect snow buried Montague, New York under 127 inches of snow over a 4-day period. The 127 inches in Montague is one of the greatest snowfalls ever recorded for a single lake effect snow event.

The tornado in Liberty had a very short path as if it was targeting only the school parking lot where it stacked two cars onto two other cars, making the headline pic on the Greenville News newspaper. There's a discrepancy between this F0 rating and the past climate data which has it as an F1 which IIRC was what the newspaper reported. Here's the info from the tornado section of Past Climate Data from the NWS GSP office: F1 TORNADO 1424 LT 2007-01-05 Counties: PICKENS-SC From 1 SE LIBERTY (SC) To 1 SE LIBERTY (SC) Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 15 Path Length: 0.1 Miles Width: 20 Yards |

This is particularly interesting because not only does the Kenosha EF1 add to Wisconsin's "snow tornado" list, but the same supercell produced an EF3 tornado beforehand. Two of Wisconsin's three January tornadoes on record occurred on this date (the other being an F3 in January 1967).
Damage from the Wheatland EF3; this tornado honestly seems like an EF4 candidate to me given at least one well anchored house was leveled, though it may have had construction flaws I'm not aware of.
Video of the Kenosha EF1 w/ the snow patches on the ground clearly visible:
