We are getting a “White Christmas” courtesy of a winter storm.
Blizzard warnings are posted for all of Siouxland due to snow, strong winds and bitter cold until 9 tonight.
The weather is creating treacherous travel conditions.
The National Weather Service says Sioux City is expected to receive three inches of snow. But, some spots in the region could see 5-to-7 inches.
Because of worsening weather conditions, Sioux City Mayor Bob Scott issued a snow emergency.
The emergency declaration prohibits parking or leaving a vehicle unattended on an emergency snow route street, noted by a blue and white sign with a snowflake.
