Western Nebraska and the Panhandle began easing after a New Year's Eve and New Year's Day snow storm that shut down many communities. Some schools closed and parking became an issue as snow removal focused on roads. Interstate 80 stayed largely clear, while North Platte and Sidney reported frigid and warming trends as a high pressure moved in and a trough brought moderating temperatures with a chance of light flurries Tuesday.
