Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn upper level disturbance dropped southeast across Nebraska during the afternoon and evening of Jan. 22. This caused low pressure to develop over eastern Kansas with an inverted surface trough extending north into eastern Nebraska. Snow, occasionally heavy, developed along this trough during the afternoon of the 22nd and continued into the early morning hours of Jan. 23rd. Snow intensities in some cases exceeded 1 inch per hour, especially in a relatively narrow band from Norfolk through Fremont and into the western sections of Omaha where storm totals reached 6 to 8 inches or more. North to northeast winds increased to 15 to 25 mph toward the end of the event further reducing visibilities in blowing snow. Cold high pressure building in behind the system dropped lows by the 23rd to as cold as 15 below to 20 below zero in northeast Nebraska with wind chill values of 20 to 29 below zero. Heavier storm totals from the storm included...8.5 inches in Fremont, around 7 inches at Norfolk, Oakdale, the NWS in Valley, Schuyler and Bennington Nebraska and Sidney Iowa. There were also reports of 7 to 9 inches across the western sections of Omaha.
