Clay County, much of the Eastern two-thirds of the state buried in snow, in the 'deep freeze'

Temperatures that failed to get above zero degrees over much of the weekend, with windchills dipping to nearly 50-below in much of Clay County, as much of the eastern two-thirds of the state of Nebraska was taking on heavy doses of snowfall during the past week. In Clay County alone, the National Weather Service office out Hastings has estimated that eight-12 inches of snow covered the ground over the course of two storms that blasted the county last week. Here, a tractor on the Jesse and Shelli Mohnike farm, just south and west of Sutton shows the magnitude of the blowing snow over the weekend.
