Nebraska's Winter Weather Awareness Day
The National Weather Service, along with the State of Nebraska, has declared November 5th as Winter Weather Awareness Day. The National Weather Service is using this day as an opportunity to get information out to the citizens of Nebraska about winter weather, its impacts, and how to protect life and property.
The 2008-2009 Winter Season proved to be a tough one for most of North Central and Western Nebraska. The arctic cold settled into the area in mid-December and then extreme winds and snow contributed to wintry conditions all the way through April. There were events cancelled, roadways shut down, power outages, and livestock lost. Without proper planning, the outcomes could have been much worse. Keeping the dangers of winter weather in mind, now is the time to prepare for this season.
Anytime there is a significant winter weather event across North Central and Western Nebraska, you will find summaries of these events on our web page. Information in these summaries will include snowfall reports and any impacts. If you have any reports of snowfall accumulations or any damage from a winter storm, we would greatly appreciate that information.
Remember to tune into NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards or a local radio or television station when winter weather strikes. If you have any questions about the information given here, please do not hesitate to contact Warning Coordination Meteorologist Deb Blondin at (308) 532-4936 or 1-800-603-3562.
