KRVN in Lexington, NE 50Kw 880  has extreme fading at 60-100 miles out
on really snowy nights particularly during a blizzard.

I have not heard of this particular phenomenon in that area before.  Playing the odds, I will assume this is along I-80 near North Platte. Might it have had something to do with KJLT 970 (5KW-D, 55W-N) which is less than 3 miles north of I-80 and 5 mi. W. of North Platte? Possibly, possibly not. I will have to see if I can catch this happening sometime. Would be interesting to see if rain causes the same thing.
I have experienced the fading phenomenon out farther,(129 Mi. at Ogallala) which corresponds to our skywave "bounce" area.
