A strong upper level disturbance and associated surface cyclone moved from the central Rockies early on the 23rd across Nebraska and Iowa and into the mid Mississippi River Valley by late on the 24th. Along the track of this system significant precipitation was observed. This initially developed as scattered thunderstorms across eastern Nebraska into western Iowa with some hail reported. To the north of these thunderstorms snow began to fall over northeast Nebraska during the evening on the 23rd, and then quickly into west central Iowa. The snow, heavy at times, continued into Friday the 24th. North and northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts over 30 mph also created considerable blowing and drifting of the new snow.
