QUICKLY MOVE OUT THIS EVENING...WITH SOME LINGERING VERY LIGHT SNOW
AND FLURRIES WRAPPING AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM FOR ALL
AREAS OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. THE WINDS...WHICH

GUSTS TO 40 MPH...ARE THE REASONING FOR THE WINTER STORM WARNING.
FEEL THE SNOW ALREADY ON THE GROUND...WITH THE ADDITIONAL
ACCUMULATION TODAY...WILL CAUSE SOME MAJOR BLOWING AND DRIFTING.
HOLT COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGER INDICATED MANY ROADS HAVE MAJOR PILES
OF SNOW/DRIFTS THAT HAVE BEEN PUSHED JUST OFF TO THE SIDE...AND

BASICALLY THE SOUTHWEST AREA OF NEBRASKA...WHICH GOES INTO EFFECT
THIS EVENING. WIND CHILLS WILL BE DANGEROUSLY COLD IN ALL
