A slow moving cyclone tracked from northern Mexico into the central Plains on January 15th through the 16th. Ahead of this system warm and moist air was pulled northward over a cold airmass at the surface. This resulted in periods of freezing rain for eastern Nebraska and western Iowa, which started during the early morning on Sunday January 15th and continued off and on through the day on Monday January 16th. Temperatures through the event were generally in the lower 30s, which mitigated some of the potential travel effects of the freezing rain but accumulation still occurred on trees, power lines, and on sidewalks, parking lots and secondary roadways. This resulted in sporadic tree damage and power outages.
