About a month after the first winter storm of the season, and about a week after bitter cold air moved into the region, heavy snow fell across south-central Nebraska.  Widespread snowfall of 6 to 12 inches occurred.  The initial warning was issued about 15 hours before the event began, and most schools in the area cancelled classes on the 1st.  In some cases, it wasn't even snowing when school was cancelled, but by midday, a blanket of heavy snow was across the region.  The heaviest snow fell north of Interstate 80 where Ord picked up 12 inches.  An average of 8 inches fell in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, while about 6 inches was noted closer to the Nebraska/Kansas border.  Strong winds up to 35 mph made travel quite treacherous to impossible in some cases.
