During the afternoon and evening of the 24th, rain changed to freezing rain and then snow. Snowfall from 2 to 8 inches fell, with the heavier, 6 inch or greater band from near Grand Island northeast to Norfolk and Laurel. Winds were sustained at 30 to 50 mph with gusts to 60 mph. Visibilities were reduced to near zero from 8 pm the 24th until 6 am the 25th. Temperatures fell to the single digits with wind chills ranging from 30 to 40 degrees below zero. This dangerous storm stranded hundreds of motorists and resulted in numerous accidents and reports of wind damage. |
