A blizzard warning remains in effect in the Panhandle through 11 p.m. Wednesday, the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, Wyo., reported.
Snowfall totals range in Box Butte and Dawes counties ranged from about 6 to 12 inches, the NWS said.
There is a 50 percent chance for continuing snow, accompanied by strong winds gusting up to 50 mph, which have caused poor visibility and drifting.
The high Wednesday was only expected to hit 20 degrees, with wind chills as low as 12 below zero after midnight.
There is a slight chance of continuing snow Thursday and Friday, and overnight wind chills will be well below zero into next week, the NWS predicted.
