Officials in Nebraska said the Nebraska spring snowstorm damaged homes and businesses in or near Sutton, Garland, Cordova and Daykin. It knocked out power in these areas. Meanwhile, parts of Illinois, Indiana and Iowa, were hit by strong thunderstorms and hail, which eventually led to some power outages.
David Barjenbruch, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Boulder said of the Nebraska spring snowstorm, "May snow certainly isn't unheard of here in Colorado, even down in the Denver metro area. If we see the total accumulations that we are anticipating from this storm, we are certainly going to see a top 10 May snow event for the Denver metro area."
Nebraska spring snowstorm is reportedly the result of a low-pressure system moving east colliding with a cold air mass from the north. Spring-like weather is likely to occur again in the Rockies by Tuesday.
