Yeah, compared to the blizzards we had when I was a kid, this one was pretty mild.
I think the biggest problem was the timing. It hit very hard just about 5 a.m. so the plows couldn't get to the streets before the morning rush hour. Couple that with the 50 mph winds and they couldn't keep them open. Local news reported the state patrol closed highways this morning due to 8 to 10 foot drifts. Nothing in the city was anything near that bad. High winds have continued today. They've plowed the main roads and may make it into the neighborhoods tomorrow. Just to add a little spice, the weather guys are predicting another couple of inches of snow tonight. The older buildings are in downtown Omaha, NE. A few others are in the surrounding suburbs.
