As
predicted, snow arrived in Lincoln late on Tuesday night
and continued throughout most of the day on Wednesday.
At 8:30 a.m., there were several inches on the ground,
and more accumulated throughout the day. Windy
conditions out in the country caused blowing and
drifting as well.
So, with the heavy snow, would Puxitauny Phil have seen
his shadow in Logan County on Wednesday morning? If you
look, there appears to be some shadowing under the tree
in the photo, so possibly he would have, meaning six
more weeks of winter.
Snow and windy conditions are expected to continue today
and travel will remain hazardous.
