The first of three significant winter storms hit south-central Nebraska early on December 11th.  Snow, wind and cold all infiltrated the area.  Snow amounts of 3 to 6 inches were common east of a Loup City to Red Cloud line, with the heaviest snow around York, Aurora and Polk.  About 2 inches of snow fell further west, around Cozad and Holdrege.Despite the varied snow amounts, strong winds on the back side of the storm caused widespread blowing and drifting of the snow.  Wind chill factors of 30 to 45 below zero were common at the height of this quick moving storm.  Most schools were closed around the area on the 11th.  A few schools where heavier snow fell were still closed on the 12th as poor road conditions persisted in rural areas.
