Heavy snow fell over much of eastern Nebraska along and north of a line from David City to Lincoln to Nebraska City, and across much of southwest Iowa.  The snow began Friday evening, 02/14/03, and continued into early Saturday afternoon, 02/15/03.  Accumulations across much of the area were at or above 6 inches.  Eight to ten inches fell along and southeast of a line from western Cass county to Gretna to Fremont, Nebraska and then to Little Sioux, Iowa.  The snow was accompanied by north winds which gusted over 30 mph, which added to the poor visibilities and caused considerable drifting. The heavy snow was preceded by rain or drizzle which developed late Thursday night and continued into Friday.  In most areas the precipitation changed to mix of sleet and rain late Friday afternoon before changing to snow early to mid evening.  Some freezing rain also occurred, mostly along and north of a line from Columbus, Nebraska to Council Bluffs, Iowa.  The freezing rain began around 5:15 pm CST and lasted from 30 minutes to several hours.  Mainly just a light glazing was reported before it changed to snow, but a little more significant glazing was reported in Monona county of west central Iowa where some tree branches were downed.Some of the heavier snow totals in eastern Nebraska included...11 inches at La Platte, 10 inches in north Omaha near Dodge Park, around 9 inches at Omaha Eppley and at the NWS office in Valley, 9 inches in Springfield, Ft. Calhoun, Gretna and Papillion and 8 inches at Union and Bennington.  Six to 7 inches fell from the eastern parts of Lincoln north to David City, Wayne and Coleridge and east to Nebraska City.
