Several inches of snow have fallen in Oakland NE and throughout eastern NE. The snow is still falling and the wind is blowing strong, causing visibility to be a problem. Stay home if you can, safe and warm. Only in Nebraska can we have Spring weather one day and Winter the next. It is a good day to watch movies and drink hot chocolate!

Bancroft-Rosalie and Oakland-Craig Schools have closed for tomorrow due to a strong snow storm.
Most likely more schools will follow.
It is wicked outside! And yesterday was glorious. It is Nebraska folks!
