As the storm system emerged onto the Plains heavy snow developed across northern Nebraska during the morning on the 24th.

As the surface area of low pressure moved across Kansas and into southern Iowa north and northwest winds increased to 15 to 25 mph with gusts over 30 mph, and this created some blowing and drifting of the new new snowfall.
