Another January day, another round of accumulating snow. After the back-to-back major snowstorms both on Monday-Tuesday andFriday, many residents across Nebraska and Iowa are certainly sick of the snow. However, Mother Nature sometimes does not care what we wish for and brought another round of accumulating snow this past Thursday. This snow was the first ever 'snow squall warning' issued by the National Weather Service, for more information on what that is you can click here.

These are the snowfall totals from last Thursday, if you do not see your neighborhood listed in these totals, send your reports to the KMTV Weather Team via email (news@3newsnow.com) or social media, whether it is the station's Facebook or X pages or the Facebook pages of the weather team (Mark Stitz, Tim Schmidt, and Joseph Meyer).
