Ice jam blocks Platte River at Gibbon; flooding reported
January 29, 2021 GMT
GIBBON, Neb. (AP) An ice jam has blocked the north channel of the Platte River south of Gibbon, regional officials said.
The ice has dammed the channel and led to minor flooding of low-lying areas around the river, David Carr with the Central Platte Natural Resources District told the Grand Island Independent.
The ice jam follows a winter storm earlier this week that dropped nearly a foot of snow in some areas and sent temperatures into the single digits. Temperatures are expected to rise above freezing this weekend, which could help break up the ice jam.
