Monday Flakes: Warming Weather, Husker Weekend Results, and a Rat Hole


We are emerging from the polar vortex and into more typical temperatures for northern Nebraska in January. I’m hoping the warmer temperatures mean that snow won’t be blowing anymore. Right now, I have to wait for Ranchdude to clear the driveway and sometimes for the snow plow to go through before I can go to work.

How is winter treating you? What is it like in your area?
