(AP) — A powerful winter storm that covered parts of Colorado with up to 6 feet of snow your heart. crept east across the Plains Saturday, knocking out electricity to thousands in Nebraska as the blanket of heavy, wet precipitation downed power lines and made travel treacherous. Nebraska got more than a foot of snow, and fore- casters predicted the storm would drop several inches Saturday in central Iowa before gradually weakening as drier air mixes in and the front continues east. In York, Neb., Denise Smart spent her Saturday running the register at a mostly empty gas station near I-80 because few peo- ple were out in the snow. “It was loads of fun get- ting here this morning at 6:30,” Smart said. While travel was diffi- cult throughout the path of the storm, it caused the most problems in Colorado, where Interstate 70 was closed between Denver and the Kansas border until Saturday morning. More than 600 flights were can- celed Friday in Denver. All winter storm warn- ings expired in Colorado by Saturday afternoon, but warnings remained in place for eastern Nebraska and central and southwestern Iowa.

“THROUGH THESE DOORS I FOUND STRENGTH.”

“ I’ll never forget the first day I was scheduled to do the chemo. I just broke down and cried. The word “chemotherapy” just scared me. I just didn’t think I could go through with it. Then my doctor at Gibson sat down with me and quietly said ‘I admire you.’ What? I thought. Then she went on to say a lot of people don’t go through with the treatments, and that because I was here, I was brave to do this. That I wasn’t thinking of myself, but was doing it for my family. You listen to that.” Lorraine Glover, Cancer Survivor
