Shelby County prepares again for second storm in three days, see YouTube video from 7:30 am, Sat., Feb. 23

Shelby County prepares for another wintery blast after dodging 6-10" on Wednesday and receiving only 3-4"...residents are hoping for the best but Omaha and Accuweather are predicting 6-10" of snow and high winds, some gusts more than 50 mph which could wreck havoc on power lines that come into Harlan, prepare for potential outages.

With Harlan's numerous underground power lines we are generally safe, the bigger issue remains the lines coming into Harlan...recommend shutting down and unplugging any fragile electronic components in your home or business.

If watching the video I neglected to mention in the last segement that I recovered my balance sliding down the driveway and didn't fall, whew, holding an iphone and sliding down a driveway not recommended.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout conditions, making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow, sleet or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Expect slippery roads and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving.
