More Weather, Part 5 or 6

[la_samtyr]

Officially, the winds are gusting at over 50 mph. Visibility is being measured in feet. I-80 is closed from York to North Platte. Loads of local businesses in Kearney, GI and Hastings are closed; same goes for the schools. Some of the local pizza places are open and doing very well. But mostly, people are told to stay inside until the storm eases up. It's emergency services only; and even the snowplows can't keep up because of the wind and snow. The local news station crews are snowed in too; they were probably only partly joking how they were almost out of food but it sounds like an emergency food run will be made for them. Obviously, there is much to be said for vegging out w/the furkids.
