FIRST DAY OF WINTER AND WINTER WEATHER Winter made its presence known on its first day with snow in the Panhandle and freezing rain through the rest of the state. The winter storm has moved on, leaving below normal cold in its wake. The National Weather Service forecasts abnormally cold temperatures through Christmas Day and into next week with highs throughout Nebraska only in the 20s and lows in the single digits. Wind chills will hover around zero. There could be a white Christmas in Nebraska. This weekend, another front will enter the state which could produce snow Saturday evening into Sunday morning. Otherwise, the forecast calls for dry conditions. NO INDICATION Gov. Pete Ricketts doesn’t believe Republican Roy Moore’s loss in an Alabama special Senate election gives any indication of how elections will go in Nebraska next year. Ricketts sees the charac- ter flaws of Moore as making the difference in his loss to Democ- rat Doug Jones in the special United States Senate election. “Both parties need to elect people of good character and the people of Alabama made their choice with regard to who they wanted to represent them, and I certainly respect their ability to make that decision,” Ricketts tells reporters when asked about the re- sults of the election. No Republican had lost in Alabama in dec- ades. Moore, a controversial candidate to begin with, won the Republican primary to seek to replace Jeff Sessions, who left the Senate to become Attorney General. MODERATE ECONOMIC GROWTH Economists with the University of Nebraska expect moderate economic growth next year. Bureau of Business Research Director Eric Thompson says a weak farm economy seems to be rebound- ing, at least somewhat. “While our agricultural industry continues to be stressed by weak commodity prices, we do think that farm income in Nebraska has stabilized and will actually have modest growth over the next few years,” Thompson tells Nebraska Radio Network. Businesses report in the bureau’s latest survey they re- main optimistic about sales and employment over the next six months. Building permits for single-family homes rose in Novem- ber. Thompson remains concerned about the strong dollar, which increases the price of Nebraska goods being sold abroad, driv- ing down demand. Thompson says job growth in construction, health care, and agricultural processing offsets an overall weak- ness in agricultural production.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ALL OF US All of us at High Plains Radio wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas. The High Plains Radio offices will be closed on Mon-day and Tuesday. There will be no Newsflash on Monday or Tuesday but the Openline program will air on Tuesday morning at 9 am.
FIRST DAY OF WINTER AND WINTER WEATHER Winter made its presence known on its first day with snow in the Panhandle and freezing rain through the rest of the state. The winter storm has moved on, leaving below normal cold in its wake. The National Weather Service forecasts abnormally cold temperatures through Christmas Day and into next week with highs throughout Nebraska only in the 20s and lows in the single digits. Wind chills will hover around zero. There could be a white Christmas in Nebraska. This weekend, another front will enter the state which could produce snow Saturday evening into Sunday morning. Otherwise, the forecast calls for dry conditions.
NO INDICATION
Gov. Pete Ricketts doesn’t believe Republican Roy Moore’s loss in an Alabama special Senate election gives any indication of how elections will go in Nebraska next year. Ricketts sees the charac-ter flaws of Moore as making the difference in his loss to Democ-rat Doug Jones in the special United States Senate election. “Both parties need to elect people of good character and the people of Alabama made their choice with regard to who they wanted to represent them, and I certainly respect their ability to make that decision,” Ricketts tells reporters when asked about the re-sults of the election. No Republican had lost in Alabama in dec-ades. Moore, a controversial candidate to begin with, won the Republican primary to seek to replace Jeff Sessions, who left the Senate to become Attorney General.
MODERATE ECONOMIC GROWTH Economists with the University of Nebraska expect moderate economic growth next year. Bureau of Business Research Director Eric Thompson says a weak farm economy seems to be rebound-ing, at least somewhat. “While our agricultural industry continues to be stressed by weak commodity prices, we do think that farm income in Nebraska has stabilized and will actually have modest growth over the next few years,” Thompson tells Nebraska Radio Network.

INTERESTING FACT
Bicycle, the U.S. playing card com-pany, manufactured cards to give all the POWS in Germany during
World War II as Christmas presents. These cards, when soaked in water,
revealed an escape route for POWs. The Nazis never knew.

Last night's Bison basketball games at Broken Bow were post-
poned because of weather and will now be played on Tues-
day, January 9th. The Bison teams will travel to North Platte
for the GNAC Tournament next Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Also, the Paxton Pre-Holiday Basketball Tournament, was
cancelled. There were a number of other games around the
state that were postponed or cancelled because of weather.
Nebraska continues its homestand on Friday night, as the
Huskers host the Delaware State Hornets at Pinnacle Bank
Arena. Nebraska (8-5) comes off a thrilling 104-94 win over
UTSA on Wednesday evening. The Huskers went over the 100-
point mark for the first time in 12 years and relied on their
depth to pull away down the stretch. NU used an 18-5 spurt in
the final four minutes after UTSA dead locked the score at 86-
all. James Palmer Jr., Anton Gill and Evan Taylor all posted
career highs for the Huskers, who shot 51 percent from the
field, 46 percent from 3-point range and got to the line 50
times against the Roadrunners. Palmer did most of his dam-
age from the foul line, hitting 13-of-17 from the charity stripe
as part of his 25-point performance. The junior guard also
grabbed seven rebounds in the win. Gill, who came off the
bench, hit four 3-pointers as part of his 21-point night, played
a critical role down the stretch as he scored six straight points
in a 9-0 run to break the 86-all tie. Taylor continued to be a
steadying force, chipping in 16 points, four rebounds and four
assists, as NU committed just seven turnovers in the win.
