Narrative:

During takeoff roll at ZZZZ; we experienced compressor stalls on the left engine. We successfully aborted the takeoff at approximately 110 KTS. Runway was clean with about a 10 KT crosswind and some blowing snow. Taxied back to gate and shut down engines for maintenance inspection. Maintenance discovered some fan blade damage on the left engine. The aircraft had arrived the night before and was towed to the gate for our flight. There had been heavy snow and below freezing temperatures throughout the night. The storm had passed leaving clear; VMC and cold temperatures. During my walkaround; I noticed the wings were contaminated with snow and ice. I inspected the engine inlets and nacelles from the ground and did not see any engine contamination. After pushback and engine start; we taxied to the deicing pad at ZZZZ. We were deiced and inspected by ground personnel and then taxied directly to the runway for takeoff. All engine instruments had normal indications from run-up through takeoff roll.

Title: AN MD80 ON TKOF ROLL ABORTED TKOF AT 110 KTS DUE TO COMPRESSOR STALL. RETURNED TO GATE AND DISCOVERED L ENG FAN BLADES DAMAGED.

Narrative: DURING TKOF ROLL AT ZZZZ; WE EXPERIENCED COMPRESSOR STALLS ON THE L ENG. WE SUCCESSFULLY ABORTED THE TKOF AT APPROX 110 KTS. RWY WAS CLEAN WITH ABOUT A 10 KT XWIND AND SOME BLOWING SNOW. TAXIED BACK TO GATE AND SHUT DOWN ENGS FOR MAINT INSPECTION. MAINT DISCOVERED SOME FAN BLADE DAMAGE ON THE L ENG. THE ACFT HAD ARRIVED THE NIGHT BEFORE AND WAS TOWED TO THE GATE FOR OUR FLT. THERE HAD BEEN HVY SNOW AND BELOW FREEZING TEMPS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. THE STORM HAD PASSED LEAVING CLR; VMC AND COLD TEMPS. DURING MY WALKAROUND; I NOTICED THE WINGS WERE CONTAMINATED WITH SNOW AND ICE. I INSPECTED THE ENG INLETS AND NACELLES FROM THE GND AND DID NOT SEE ANY ENG CONTAMINATION. AFTER PUSHBACK AND ENG START; WE TAXIED TO THE DEICING PAD AT ZZZZ. WE WERE DEICED AND INSPECTED BY GND PERSONNEL AND THEN TAXIED DIRECTLY TO THE RWY FOR TKOF. ALL ENG INSTS HAD NORMAL INDICATIONS FROM RUN-UP THROUGH TKOF ROLL.
