This event was a continuation of the winter storm that hit parts of eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa from late Sunday 12/17/00 into Monday 12/18/00.  Northwest winds decreased to 15 to 25 mph across the area from Monday evening into early Tuesday morning 12/19/00.  This allowed the blowing and drifting snow to subside.  However, wind chill values of 30 to 40 below zero continued until around 300 am Tuesday as temperatures fell to zero to 5 below.  Many schools remained closed Tuesday across parts of east central Nebraska and southwest Iowa due to drifting snow which persisted much of Monday, and the cold wind chills of Tuesday morning.
