JANUARY 24, 2021 (LINCOLN, NEB.) The Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) and Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) are urging caution ahead to another round of severe winter weather that will affect much of the state. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning and Winter Weather Advisory that include most of the state’s most-traveled roadways, including over 350 miles of Interstate 80.
“This storm has the potential to have a major impact on travel throughout the state,” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “The best way to stay safe during a winter storm is to make the important determination if travel is even necessary. If you have to travel, be prepared for adverse driving conditions and follow safe winter driving practices.”

(WeatherBell) A significant winter storm is underway across parts of the Plains and the Midwest, set to target the southern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley with a serious dose of snow and ice for some. Chicago could be in line for a half-foot of snow or more, and the storm is expected to plaster areas between northern Kansas and West Virginia. The same system is set to bring a dash of wintry weather all the way to the East Coast, with a mix of snow, ice and rain in the nation’s capital.
