Winds of up to 48 mph drove a band of snow across the Lincoln, Nebraska, area on Monday, December 9, the National Weather Service Omaha said.

NWS Omaha recorded the strongest winds in the towns of Julian, at 61 mph, and Norfolk, at 53 mph.

The Nebraska State Patrol warned motorists to stay inside their vehicles if they become stranded or in need of assistance due to the wind and “bitterly” cold temperatures. “Do not get out in these conditions. It is so cold that it could be dangerous with much exposure,” said a NSP Trooper in a video posted to Twitter.
