I do a lot of walking. Averaged 13k steps a day last month for a total of just over 400k steps and making 2m steps for the year with half of that done the last three months. Probably in the best shape of my life atm as I've always been very sedentary. I've only been ramping up over the last few year...

What's more annoying for me is seeing all the street widening projects in that list. You'll notice most of those are beyond 2029 and are more of pipe dreams at the moment. I actually was noticing a bit of a hiatus on widening projects for a few years. We normally see one to two (sometimes more) act...

lol I saw that. They had to have seen my post here. Hi u/Erod890!

Was out with the dog shortly after 6am today and surprised it wasn't oppressively thick outside. Can't wait until this heat wave is over! I was out just before 6:30 and it was nice. Low didn't drop below 80 again but the dew point was only in the upper 60s unlike the upper 70s and 80s the last few ...

My weather station just finally hit

for the first time this year.

Previous days had the dew point in the 80s with it reaching 85 at one point. Today is much better at 72.

This seems very shortsighted. Diagonal roadways often help get people where they need/want to go much faster than having to take the stair step approach. Omaha has very few diagonal roads. We should be improving those we do have, not ripping them out! This looks like its taking place on a stretch o...

Nice shots, Brad!

Looks like North 16th Street and Dodge Street west of the West Dodge Road split are getting bicycle lanes. 2023 Bike Lane Improvements The planned fall 2023 resurfacing project along North 16th Street from Chicago Street to Nicholas Street has been identified as a good candidate to include striping ...

I spent the afternoon here and it turned out amazing - especially the kids area at L&CL.

Having these three parks really makes downtown incredible. The vibe is different now. It always seems to be busy.

Just saw this when I went down today. Was wondering when that sign went up.

Just saw this and didn’t see it posted elsewhere (though I may have overlooked it).

A lot of people visible on the Riverfront webcam.

It was only supposed to be open on the north end, which it is now. I think the south end to Pacific will be later this year.

Walked through this yesterday and the road is mostly done for the whole stretch. 2 out of 3 traffic signals are up with Howard yet to be done. The road is now open from Dodge to the new north entrance of Kiewit.

Still have retaining wall work along 156th remaining to be done.

I know it can be 75 on December 15th, and 100 on September 20th. Just saying odds are against summer, days getting shorter, change is coming, cool start to August... Here's the thing I was referencing about September: https://i.postimg.cc/kB0vpGPp/wsi-sept-0718-0.webp Looks like NOAA has it at equa...

But yeah, the NWS is even saying only 73. That is borderline fall weather, if not for the dewpoint. It won't be long, summer is running out of time. Don't get your hopes up yet. While it could certainly change, last I saw, September is forecast to be well above average temperatures. So far today, i...

Seeing constant lightning up north from Gene Leahy.

I really wish we could have some sunny days. The constant clouds for a vast majority of everyday has been difficult. It has been almost as bad as winter.

Over 2" so far today. August average is 4.6".

The only hints of Fall I see, is when I go into a fine bottle shop and see Pumpkin Beers and Oktoberfest beers already available to purchase as of August 1st, lol… Ciao..LiO…Peace I saw Halloween decorations on sale as you entered the front door of Lowe's the other day! It wasn't even August yet.

I don't think it's really signs of fall yet. We haven't even passed halfway through summer. NOAA had predicted August to be cooler than normal for the center of the country.

I had around 6.5".

Getting close to that here. A lot of hail at the moment.

Almost hit 100 today on my weather station - 99.5 around 2:30. I saw others in the area break 100 though around that time.

I'll take 110 over below freezing any day. Tbh 100⁰ days are exciting to me despite not being able to do much outside. This morning I went on a walk at 6am and it was 79 (it never dropped below that last night). A little too humid but I love being able to get out early and I won't do that unless it'...

I'd expect at least part of 156th to be opened back up near Peter Kiewit Middle School (Howard St.) I know the plan is to open to Kiewit when school starts. Last I had seen on the north end, the southbound lanes were done, so might be head-to-head traffic on there. I saw the traffic lights driving ...

Damaged. I saw them a couple weeks ago and some were smashed in. I wonder if a metal cage could be put around them to protect them.

I only ended up with 0.03".

I'm sure looking forward to it! I'll be able to get up for some early morning walks.

Naw, they are just considering removing the interchange and making it a normal intersection. I'm really hoping they do because I don't see a need for an interchange here. https://dot.nebraska.gov/media/pkjoh34y/cn-22469-pim-fact-sheet.pdf https://dot.nebraska.gov/media/ka5b3vju/cn-22469-traditional-...

This extremist alt-right |expletive| needs to stop. Everybody is sick of the complete ridiculousness of it all.

The sky was pretty cool last night. Awesome pics of that!

I'm really sick of this cool weather in July. No way, dude!! It's a big treat in the midst of summer and I can't wait until fall arrives. I'm definitely not a hot weather guy.
