Multiple Accidents, Jackknifed Semis, Power Outages Reported

It's been a busy day for first responders, road workers and linemen as Winter Storm Wesley bears down on Antelope County. 

By early afternoon on Thursday, the Antelope County Sheriff's Department said they had responded to multiple accidents, including several semis that had jackknifed on the highway.  The Nebraska Department of Transportation said highways are rapidly deteriorating, as is visibility. 

The Elkhorn Rural Public Power District and Nebraska Central Public Power District reported multiple power outages through Antelope and Knox counties and said linemen were on scene. 

The City of Neligh declared a snow emergency and asked that all vehicles be removed from city streets.
