Curtis Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Freezing rain preceded the heavy snow with ice accumulations up to a quarter inch causing some downed power lines and tree branches. Storm total snowfall amounts ranged from 8 to 13 inches. The snow combined with winds of 15 to 30 mph causing blowing and drifting.
Ice accumulations of a quarter to half inch caused numerous broken tree branches. The ice accumulation also caused power lines to snap and some power poles to break resulting in power outages. Snowfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches followed.
Episodes
A powerful upper level trough of low pressure tracked across the southern Rockies and approached the central plains on November 16th. East of this feature, abundant low level moisture and warm air flowed into western and north central Nebraska. This led to the development of thunderstorms during the evening hours. Large hail and gusty winds were reported with the thunderstorms over portions of southwest Nebraska.
