This light and these clouds lingered over the Platte River Valley. The clouds thickened. It darkened. Multiple strikes of lightning repeatedly struck this area. About 45 minutes later, these dramatic conditions arrived where I was: much lightning, some wind, then heavy rain fell through much of the night. By the next morning, the rain turned to snow that fell for hours. These conditions increased in severity as the weather system headed East across the Great Plains.
