Travel was dangerous as you moved eastward.
Snow closed roads in Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota and Nebraska beginning on Christmas Day and extended for days.
Nebraska officials closed parts of Interstate 80 on Monday as blizzard conditions settled in as travel was not recommended around the entire state. Semi-trucks were forced off the road while snow piled up on other stretches of pavement.
