SIDNEY (Nov. 29, 2022) - "I am definitely not a fan of the snow," said Danielle Christensen. "It's too cold."

Christensen talked with News Channel Nebraska Tuesday morning as she was cleaning the sidewalk in front of Main Street Games in downtown Sidney of the overnight snow. 

Monday afternoon, community officials were trying their best to predict the anticipated snow storm; would it be a swift introduction to winter weather, or would it be a day's vacation from class in the name of safety?

Initial reports were the snowfall would be light and Sidney city and school officials responded accordingly. Area residents woke to varying degrees of a different story as traffic moved slowly on more than a few inches of snow and some ice underneath. 

Several people were seen clearing sidewalks and driveways Tuesday morning, Nov. 29.

Russ Barker of Sidney Glass was busy clearing the driveway Tuesday morning as it was still lightly snowing.  He said the snowfall is about what he expected, noting the snow was wet under the surface.

Temperatures in Sidney this morning hovered in the mid to high teens with the high predicted at 22 and tonight's low of two degrees below zero and a windchill value of 10 to 20 below zero. 

Wednesday is expected to rebound to 32 above with Wednesday night falling to single digits.

Friday, just in time for the Holidays at Hickory celebration, highs are expected to reach 48 with a low of 11.
