Saturday morning they were talking about North Platte (I think) getting 15
inches. If we had 15 inches we would have stayed put and waited it out.
But all we got was a dusting. Further east all they got was freezing rain
which is what done me in.
Glad you made it OK. Weather on the Great Plains is very chancy indeed.
