Blowing snow and strong winds created white-out conditions that closed Interstate 80 (eastbound) at Grand Island. Several accidents, including jack-knifed semis, lead to the closure just after 12:00 pm CDT.

Many motorists were left to sit on I-80 while the road was closed. Blizzard Warnings were extended til 4pm across the area due to the hazardous conditions.
