Narrative:

Aircraft came in a little late. We talked to the inbound crew everything was good. The weather was snowing and had been all day. The airport was using remote deicing. I called dispatch on the fluids and holdover times. He looked into it and sent me a message on that. A/C was full and we pushed back at around 142;000 lbs. Then taxied right out to the deice pad got deiced right away with engines running. The deice procedure was very professional. As we were sitting getting deiced we witnessed a runway being plowed. Completed deicing cleared right to the runway for departure and within around five minutes was on the runway cleared for takeoff. Visibility was 4;300 RVR and I made the comment that if we lost one we could come back in. We did a run up and started to roll. I was flying the a/C. We had a right crosswind and at vr rotated. Everything was normal to that point a then a couple loud bangs were heard. The a/C started to yaw I held it straight with the rudder. The first officer announced engine failure and declared an emergency with ATC. We climbed out straight ahead at east/O altitude did the memory items; first officer had the QRH out working through the procedures. We told ATC that we wanted rv's back to the runway (not sure which one due to plowing operations) and climbed to 4;000 feet. We got the wing ice on right away. As I got caught up I called the flight attendant's they were calling from the back already. The loud bangs on takeoff had them very concerned. I told them we would be on the ground in 10 minutes then made a P/a to the people. We asked for vectors back to the runway and the frequencies to the runway they gave us 10X.X and as we tuned it in; but didn't receive the ILS. I don't know why we weren't receiving it but I knew we were too close to make a safe approach so I went around before we started the approach. We were vectored back and landed overweight. Everything was fine and had the a/C inspected by the arff. Taxied to gate. Everyone on the crew was very professional and handled this very well!

Title: An MD83 engine failed just after rotation with snow falling. The crew was vectored for an ILS but an incorrect ILS frequency necessitated a go around. The second attempt was successful. Once on the ground the fire department reported visible damage to the left engine.
