Strong north winds of 30 to 50 mph caused significant blowing snow and drifting with reduced visibility to near zero during the late afternoon and overnight hours. Snow drifts up to 8 feet closed roads and the winds caused power outages across much of the county.
The cyclic supercell produced a tornado just as it entered southern Keya Paha County approximately 7 miles south southeast of Springview.

Along the path, the tornado took part of a roof off two homes, snapped trees, destroyed a barn and small outbuildings, overturned a center pivot irrigation system, and snapped 40 power poles. The tornado caused minor injuries to a gentleman that was on a farm tractor.
