According to the Associated Press,  heavy spring snow also blanketed much of the Nebraska Panhandle.

National Weather Service meteorologist Tim Trudel said Monday up to a foot of snow fell near Harrison in Sioux County on Sunday. He says there was 4 to 6 inches on the ground as of 8 p.m. Sunday north of Kimball, and he expected 1-2 inches to fall there Monday as another portion of a storm system moves through.

Trudel said “it’s not too terribly unusual to have snowfall” on May 11 in Nebraska.
