After a remarkably snow-free start to winter, the last few days of 2010 finally brought the first widespread accumulations of the season to South Central Nebraska, as a powerful upper level low pressure system tracked across the region, following a path from northeast Colorado to southeast South Dakota. The first piece of this storm affected northwest sections of South Central Nebraska on Thursday the 30th with very light snow and freezing rain. However, the main event impacted the area during the pre-dawn and daytime hours on Friday, New Year's Eve, with accumulating snow ending in most places by early afternoon. Storm total snowfall varied from southeast to northwest, ranging from only around 1 inch in the Hebron and York areas, up into the 4-6 inch range along a corridor including Cozad, Ord and Greeley. In between, the majority of South Central Nebraska tallied between 1-3 inches.  Due to the fact that the main part of the storm tracked west-northwest of the area, the heaviest snow, strongest winds, and worst visibilities focused across northern and western Nebraska into the Dakotas, where blizzard conditions were reported.
