"Omaha and Lincoln Brace for Third Snow Day of the Week as Winter Storm Rages On"

Heavy snow hit the Omaha area, with near-blizzard-like conditions expected due to a combination of falling snow and strong north winds gusting at 30 to 40 mph, causing blowing snow and travel issues. Winter storm warnings remain in effect area-wide throughout Friday, with most of the Omaha metro expected to have a total snowfall between 7 to 10 inches overall. Wind chill values will dip 10-20 below zero, and extreme cold is expected to persist through the weekend.
