episode_narrativeA very strong winter storm brought blizzard conditions to South-Central Nebraska. Only 4 or less inches of snow fell across the region but this snow was driven by 60 to 90 mph winds. Temperatures fell over 30 degrees at the beginning of the event to readings near zero. This produced wind chills of 50 to 70 below zero. Most of the snow was over during the early morning hours of the 18th but the strong winds continued making for whiteout conditions. Interstate 80 was closed until the 19th as it was littered with nearly 300 vehicles. US Highway 30 was also a parking lot for about 250 abandoned vehicles. No deaths or serious injuries were directly related to this blizzard.
