UPDATED Forecast: More Snow Headed Our Way


UPDATED: AccuWeather now says there's a 22% chance the Dorchester area could see more than 4" of snow over the next 48 hours.

Don't put those snowblowers and snowplows away.  

On top of the 3 to 4 inches of the white stuff that has dropped on Dorchester in the past few days, rounds three and four are on the way. 

The National Weather Service says more snow is in the forecast for Friday morning and again overnight Friday in to Saturday.  

Round one will start Friday morning with 1-3 inches expected. There will be a break in the afternoon, before round two hits overnight Friday into Saturday.  One to two inches of snow is expected in that system.

AccuWeather predicts Dorchester will likely see between 2" and 4" -- but more is possible.

The cold temperatures are expected to stick around without a break until at least the middle of February.

The snow has been causing problems for area drivers.  KWBE Radio reports that this morning, snow packed roads caused the driver of a pick-up to lose control of his truck on Nebraska Highway 112, three miles east of Odell. The pickup, traveling north, slid into the path of a southbound semi tractor-trailer.
