BROKEN BOW, Neb.-Officials in the City of Broken Bow are warning residents against building snow forts in the piles of snow removed from city streets.
In a Facebook post, city officials notified residents that workers would be clearing the lines of sight at intersections today and for the rest of the week.
Officials said they knew many children had been building forts within the large snow piles.
"Even though this can be fun and exciting, it can be dangerous as we," the post said.
City employees have been instructed to honk the horns on their equipment prior to moving a snow pile but fear that children will not respond to the warnings.
Officials ask that children be kept out of the snow piles to prevent injuries or worse, as workers will be using backhoes and loaders for snow removal.
