The impact of the Christmas blizzard could still be felt Monday as rural Nebraskans continued to dig out in the aftermath of the storm.

State road crews in District 4 have all of their equipment out tackling the roads-more than 100 trucks, 20 graters, loaders, and snow blowers.

Their area spans 4,000 lane miles from the Kansas border to Greeley County and from Buffalo County to York County.

But some county roads are still impassible, though in Hall County all roads are considered open.

Officials say a few roads are blocked, but there are other ways through.

It's deja vu for rural Grand Island resident Brian Kelly, who's digging out again.

"It just seemed like you'd get done with everything and by the next morning it was right all back to where it was," he said.

Monday morning was the first day Kelly could navigate back roads to the pasture where he keeps cattle and horses.

"Parts of the roads are wide open and then you'll run into a five, six foot drift, and you just cannot get through it," he said.

Kelly says some of his neighbors dug out of their home for the first time Monday.

A quarter of a mile long drift is still blocking traffic on a gravel road near Kelly's home.

"We're getting a lot of blow back, so therefore a lot of roads are getting snow packed again," said Allen Horak, Nebraska Department of Roads District 4 operations and maintenance manager. "Because with the sun shining, it melts, and the snow sticks to it. So it looks like we've had-in places-another two inch snow."

State road crews have been plowing through nine foot drifts.

"You're looking at 500 feet to 1,000 feet long," said Horak.

He says just because the road has been cleared, doesn't mean it will stay that way.

"If the wind keeps blowing and we get blow back, we'll probably be fighting it until the wind goes down," said Horak.

State road crews have been working around the clock since Wednesday to clear roads, but officials say conditions are still slick and dangerous.

Some roads remain closed in parts of the state. To find out where, click on the link below.
