Nebraska utilities are working to restore power to the southeast corner of the state after as much as eight inches of heavy, wet snow fell Monday.

The three utilities that serve that area estimated that roughly 1,500 customers remained without electricity, primarily south of Tecumseh, on Tuesday afternoon. At the height of the storm, more than 6,000 customers lost power.

Crews from Norris, Omaha and Nebraska public power districts are repairing the damage. OPPD officials say barring additional severe weather, the last of their repairs will occur Thursday night.

National Weather Service observers reported Monday's storm dropped eight inches of snow just north of Falls City and six inches of snow fell in Falls City and Fairbury.
