CENTRAL NEBRASKA - After the snow finished falling on Sunday, almost all parts of Central Nebraska saw less snowfall than previously anticipated, but now below zero wind chills are still hanging around.

According to the Hastings National Weather Service, most towns saw one to four inches of snow, which began Saturday evening, and continued overnight into Sunday morning. 

Reports as of 3:00 p.m. show the highest amount of snowfall was recorded near the cities of Broken Bow and Ord. 

South of the state border is where the snow system hit the hardest with the towns of Beloit and Concordia, KS receiving upwards of six inches of snow. 

Wind chills are now the main factor in the Central Nebraska area with 'feels like' temperatures expected to remain below zero into Monday morning. 

The snow also caused multiple accidents along Interstate 80 on Saturday and Sunday.
