An upper level disturbance and associated surface low pressure system tracked along the Nebraska and Kansas border spreading a mix of freezing rain...sleet and snow to sections of northeast Nebraska.  The system pulled down arctic air behind causing temperatures to plunge to the single digits and north winds to increase to 20 to 30 mph or greater.  The combination of mixed precipitation and strong winds caused scattered power outages in northeast Nebraska.

Freezing rain fell across the area for a while during the evening of March 9th followed by plunging temperatures and gusty North winds as an arctic air mass plunged into the region.  Although most ice accumulations were under 1/4 inch, the freezing rain created very slick roads.  Ice-coated streets in West Point prevent firefighting equipment from making it up a hill to respond to a car fire in a duplex.  The firefighters had to park more than 100 yards away and drag the hose up a hill.  Several firefighters were injured when they slipped on the ice in the attempt.
