NORTH PLATTE -- A heavy, wet snow is knocking down tree branches and knocking out power to some parts of southern Nebraska.

Snowfall ranged from 2 to 4 inches in and around North Platte, with 7 inches reported south of town. A winter weather advisory remains posted for much of southwest and central Nebraska.
