We are lucky the sun was out all day. It helped my street a lot, but we also get a lot of traffic too.Coyote wrote:And I guess this winter storm that just left was called Linus.
I didn't think much of it on Saturday Morning, but by Saturday night when they decided not to pre-treat the streets because the chemicals would just rain away... I figured that the heavy wet snow would turn to slush then to ice... It almost seemed like the city was caught of guard by this type of storm, on a Super Bowl weekend no less. I know that some neighborhood roads are still pretty much iced over, and maybe for a few days yet...

People are stupid. People want everything right now, no exceptions. I think for a 10 inch snowfall, heavy snowfall, the city did great. People need to chill!

How many times have we seen UNO closed in the past years?

I know they closed twice on consecutive weeks when I attended during the mid 2000's. At the time, everyone was saying that was the first time they had in over a decade.Coyote wrote:How many times have we seen UNO closed in the past years?

I can't remember exactly when, but in the early 80's, they closed the campus when the parking lots were a sheet of ice, and the wind kept blowing the cars down the hill into each other...skinzfan23 wrote:I know they closed twice on consecutive weeks when I attended during the mid 2000's.

I just drove past the 680 interchange on I-80, and saw the OFD putting out a grass fire. I guess we are down on precipitation right now.
Re: 2014-2015 Winter Weather Thread
No snow pack making everything dry?
We set a new record high today as well.

Winds appear to be gusting in to the mid 30's throughout the area.

Re: 2014-2015 Winter Weather Thread
Are these conditions unusual for the area this time of year?
Re: 2014-2015 Winter Weather Thread
No, Record highs across the state. Some even broke the record for the whole month. Omaha broke the record by some 7 or 8 degrees.Coyote wrote:Are these conditions unusual for the area this time of year?

It was the earliest ever that Omaha has had an 85+ degree day.

I'm happy it snowed one more time. I really like snow, and I like how heavy this one was.
