Low pressure tracked from the Oklahoma panhandle into the Ohio Valley from February 13th through the 14th.  This system brought heavy snow to around a 50 mile wide swath across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa generally along and north of Interstate 80 in eastern Nebraska and along and south of the interstate in western Iowa.  The heaviest snow stretched from Columbus and David City Nebraska east through Omaha and then to Underwood and Oakland Iowa.  On the southern end the snowfall tapered down to several inches from southeast Nebraska into far southwest Iowa.  Meanwhile, the snow ended rather abruptly on the northern end with little or no snow measured along and north of a line from Norfolk Nebraska to Little Sioux Iowa.  Heavier snow totals in Nebraska included 7.5 inches in David City and 6 to 8 inches across much of the Omaha metro area including 6.8 inches at the NWS office near Valley and 5.5 inches at Omaha Eppley.
