Endless Winter: Winter Storm Watch Posted, Blizzard Conditions Likely






(UPDATE: Parts of north-central Nebraska are expected to receive more than a foot of snow, with our area receiving about 1 to 2 inches.  While exact snowfall amounts are uncertain, there is a high confidence in the prediction for heavy snowfall up north and that the storm's impact on motorists will be widespread across the state.)

Let us first clarify this is not a joke.

Despite today's balmy weather here in Dorchester, the National Weather Service has announced that a winter storm watch is in effect for Friday night into Saturday.  

That is April 13-14, for those who aren't calendar aware.

The winter storm watch does not currently cover Saline County, but does include Seward County, whose boarder is just a few minutes north of Dorchester's village limits.

Rain will change to snow, with strong northwest winds gusting 40 to 50 mph. 

Several inches of snow are forecast, and whiteout near-blizzard conditions are expected. 

Travel will be impacted.
