By The Associated Press —
Authorities say several inches of snow have fallen in much of southern Nebraska. The Nebraska Transportation Department said Thursday that Interstate 80, highways and county roads are covered with snow in much of south-central Nebraska, making driving hazardous. Weather-related accidents have been reported in Grand Island and several other communities. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Gosper, Phelps, Kearney, Furnas and Harlan counties, saying that up to 3 more inches could fall.

(Radio Iowa) — Iowans who are prepping their cars for winter may top off the antifreeze level in their engine, but the experts at the Iowa Poison Control Center remind, be careful with those chemicals. Registered Nurse Jean Hammack says antifreeze comes in an array of colors, including green, blue, pink and green, but all of them are hazardous if swallowed.

“That usually contains ethylene glycol which is highly toxic to the kidney and the lung,” Hammack says. “The other one we get concerned about is windshield wiper solution. That is often a blue color and contains a chemical called methanol which is also highly toxic, primarily to the retina in the eye.”

It’s best to leave antifreeze and wiper solution in the original gallon bottles, she says. After using part of the product, don’t transfer it to a smaller bottle, especially one that once contained juice or a sports drink. “It looks very similar to the blue-colored juices like Gatorade products,” she says. “If it’s sitting out in the garage and a little one comes along and little animals, little pets come along, yes, we do get a fair number of calls and it is highly toxic.”

Because of the color and sweet taste, children often mistake these chemicals for drinks, while pets may lick up spilled fluid from the floor. Hammack says to keep the poison center number programmed into your phone — 1-800-222-1222.

The National Weather Service in Des Moines has updated their statement put out Wednesday, with regard to winter weather affecting the State today and Friday. Officials say a couple rounds of wintry precipitation are expected this afternoon into Friday. The first round will bring mainly light snow spreading into western Iowa this afternoon, with the snow then spreading across all of Iowa tonight. The highest accumulations with the first round are expected along and south of Interstate 80, with anywhere from 1-to 2-inches in Atlantic and most areas, and 2-to 3-inches further east, toward Greenfield and Winterset.

The second round will move through Friday morning into Friday afternoon across the western/southern half of the state. This round may have brief snow bursts resulting in brief periods of significantly reduced visibilities. Gusty northwest winds are also anticipated which may lead to patchy blowing and drifting snow, also impacting visibilities at times. Slick roads will be possible with both snow chances. Please slow down and take your time when traveling in the snow, leave extra distance between your vehicle and other vehicles on the road.
