| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Strong winds combined with snow amounts of generally 8 to 12 inches to create widespread blizzard conditions in the Nebraska panhandle. Closed and impassable roads became the norm from the evening of April 4 through April 6 due to blowing and drifting snow. Many automobile accidents occurred as a result of the treacherous conditions, and many power lines were downed due to the weight of snow. Many livestock were killed by the snow and accompanying cold temperatures because the storm occurred in the calving season. The highest snow amount was 12 inches in the Wildcat Hills region of Banner County, and the strongest wind recorded was 68 MPH at Sidney at 900 PM April 5. |
