NP Enjoys First Snow Accumulaton Monday
by Robin Scott Johnson
NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA: Residence of North Platte were greeted by their first major snowfall of the Winter season on Monday morning.
Shortly before dawn, snow began moving in from the west, accumulating to a a half inch to an inch deep in North Platte. As the wind picked up later in the morning, drifts formed, some up to six inches in the higher elevations north of town, and around the edges of buildings and houses in and around downtown.
Intersections became extremely slick, with motorists fighting to slow and stop their vehicles at traffic control signals and stop signs.
