Friday afternoon, Interstate 80 westbound was closed from North Platte; both directions of the I-80 were closed from Big Springs to the Wyoming border.

 

 

 

A little closer to home, the city of Norfolk was bracing for heavy snow. In its snow emergency alert, the city was advising residents there to learn more about its snow removal process on the city's website.
