| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A major winter storm moved across southwest and northcentral Nebraska dumping from 4 to 12 inches of snow. Sustained winds at 40 mph with gusts to near 60 mph created blowing and drifting snow. The storm began as rain and then changed over to snow as temperatures fell. Ice and snow collected on power lines and trees causing considerable damage to tree limbs and scattered power outages. Interstate 80 was closed to traffic along with other roads in the area due to blowing and drifting snow and icy conditions. However, there were still numerous traffic accidents due to slick roads and poor visibilities. Many school and community activities were cancelled or postponed. |
