Weather forecast office sourcewfo_sourceOfficial NWS Observations
Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeNew snowfall varying from 3 to 7 inches, previous snow cover, and northwest winds gusting to over 40 mph combined to produce widespread blowing and drifting snow in extreme northeast Nebraska. The worst conditions, with widespread visibilities below a quarter mile, were in Dixon County, with only slightly better conditions in Dakota County, where the lowest visibilities were observed more locally. Travel was brought to a standstill during the worst conditions. Even where visibilities were a little higher, travel was extremely difficult and dangerous because of the snowfall, drifting snow, and dangerous wind chills that accompanied the storm. The storm forced the closing of schools and businesses, and postponement of athletic events and other activities. The snow, blowing snow, and blizzard conditions took place on January 6th and 7th, while dangerous wind chills continued well into January 8th.
Event narrativeevent_narrativePersistent north to northwest winds combined with very cold air to produce wind chill values the frequently dropped to 35 below zero or a little colder. These extremely dangerous wind chills added to the hazards produced by the preceding winter storm. As winds slowly subsided during the night of January 7th, temperatures continued to drop to well below zero, keeping the wind chills at the very dangerous level through the morning of January 8th.
