This picture of Blue Hill Main street was taken 12-25-2009 about 12:20 p.m. there were five pickups parked in front of the Senior community center but they are not visible in this pictue through the whiteout conditions, the visibilty got even worse as the day progressed. The Winds were up to gusts of 60 miles per hour. Because of the high winds roads crews made no efforts to clean the streets or rural roads in Webster County. There was only a little new snow accumulation before dark but more may be here by morning.
Residents of the whole south central area of Nebraska are being urged to remain at home and wait out the storm. As far east as Lincoln there are reports of closed roads and near impossible traveling conditions. Portions of interstate 80 have been closed. From the tri cities area to the Iowa border weather warnings have been issued. No large accumulation of new snow is forecast but the high winds are causing white outs. Around 10 pm significant snow fall was recorded in the Hastings area. Residents are urged to stay off the roads as much as possible through tomorrow monring.

Before this, the worst blizzard I can remeber is the Easter Blizard of 1987. This is much, much worse than that.
Easter Blizzards don't last long, the way this year is going we could be inside holed up against the elements from now til May!!!!
