Moving to Omaha from Delaware
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 3:50 pm
Hello everyone! I am totally new to this site so bear with me if these aren't the most novel questions... I am moving from the east coast to Omaha for grad school this summer.
I hear that it doesn't snow "a lot" in Omaha but I'm not sure what to make of that. Is it worth investing in snow boots? How about rain? Anything drastic weather-wise? Here, everything gets shut down for 3 inches of snow. Is the humidity terrible?
Is Omaha a walk-able city? Meaning, in most places, is it possible to get from point A to point B without driving? Not everywhere in the city, of course, but things like grocery stores and restaurants. I'll be coming straight from a college campus (where I can walk everywhere in fifteen minutes or less) to living near UNMC/eastern part of the city, so I'm hoping this is true.
How popular is public transportation? Do a lot of people use it, or is it more of a visitor thing?
How's the crime? Do most people feel safe walking around at night?
And this one's just for me... Which NFL team do people in Omaha back? I'm an Eagles girl so this move could be a problem after all.
