Power Outage in Jackson, NE

Ice Storm. Freezing rain overnight and through the morning resulted in ice accumulation of a quarter inch, especially on elevated surfaces, including powerlines. Brief power outages were reported. Snowfall developed later morning and through the afternoon, and accumulated to 3.0 inches at Emerson. Slick roadways resulted in several accidents. Two separate accidents resulted in (indirect) fatalities along State Highway 35 northeast of Emerson. The first occurred around 0640CST when a semi truck ran off the highway and struck a creek bank, killing the driver. The second fatal accident occurred shortly after 1500CST when a jackknifing semi trailer collided with the tractor of a second semi on a curve. Property damage costs are rough estimates.

Ice Storm. Freezing rain of over a quarter inch caused icy roads, and accumulated on trees, power lines, and other surfaces. Over a quarter inch was reported at South Sioux City. Law enforcement agencies reported a few vehicles accidents on the ice, but no known injuries, with traffic being light because of the holiday, business closings, and activity cancellations. Light winds limited damage to trees and power lines, with only small branches breaking off.

Freezing rain produced ice accumulations of a quarter to a half inch in extreme northeast Nebraska. The icing occurred from shortly after midnight through the daytime hours. There was widespread icing on roads, trees, power lines, and other surfaces. The impact of the widespread heavy icing was fairly limited for several reasons. Traffic was very limited because the day was a holiday, and because some businesses closings and activity cancellations were announced ahead of the storm. Winds remained light, limiting the breakage of ice covered trees and power lines. There were several vehicle accidents, but they were not numerous in any given area.

High Wind. High winds from a westerly direction followed a low pressure system which had brought Christmas Day rain and thunderstorms. There were several reports of branches blown down, shingles blown off roofs, and at least one report of a power outage due to downed power lines. Sustained winds around 40 mph and peak gusts to 60 mph were estimated.
