Snow Returns To Western & North Central Nebraska
Snowfall Reports from November 26th, 2012
|
The combination of a mid level trough of low pressure, and an intensification of a thermal gradient in the mid atmosphere - helped to produce a widespread swath of snow across parts of western and north central Nebraska.
The snowfall began on Sunday November 25th, and was tapering off across the region by late morning on Monday November 26th.
Below is a radar image snapshot taken at 245 AM CST Monday morning - depicting the band of snow which was occurring across the region.
