A quick moving clipper system impacted eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa during the morning of February 4th. The system traveled southeast through the region along a very tight thermal gradient. The combination of the strong thermal gradient and the clipper system led to strong lift across the area for a short time creating a period of moderate to heavy snowfall. The snowfall impacted the morning commute on the 4th leading to many school closures and accidents on area roadways. Most of the snowfall was over by midday, but north winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts over 30 mph created some blowing and drifting snowfall into the afternoon.
