Blizzard conditions in parts of Nebraska leave several state highways impassable
Omaha ^ | 4/14/18 | Mara Klecker

A spring blizzard that brought heavy snow and whiteout conditions to much of western and central Nebraska has shifted to northeast Nebraska.

And if you think the Omaha area has avoided the snow, just wait a little bit. It's still coming, but it shouldn't cause nearly as much trouble as it has elsewhere.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for east-central and southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa until 10 p.m. Additional snow accumulations of up to 2 inches and minor ice accumulations of are expected, the weather service said. Drivers should expect to encounter slippery roads.

Logan View High School in Hooper has delayed its prom from Saturday night until Sunday afternoon because of the weather.

Can scientists be sued for being so wrong?

That is my old high school

The principal lives in the house I grew up in. To call off prom, it has to be so bad he can’t leave the place.

Climate change alarmists will say that’s proof the planet is overheating, because cold snaps last longer.

No wonder the home run rate in MLB is down this season—all the teams playing in the Upper Midwest and Northeast are playing in much colder conditions than normal, resulting in way lower home run production.

The Twins game in Minneapolis got cancelled, again.

I’m sitting at home today because it is snowing so hard you can’t get anywhere.

Global warming sucks.

What a coincidence! The worst blizzard I remember was in western Nebr. in the 70s, about 18” of snow in 12 hours and lots of wind. First week of April.

They won two World Series in that thing. They suck so bad now nobody goes to the games. It was nice that they raised the taxes only to those of us in Hennepin County for a building I will never go to.

80 degrees, blue skies, a lazy on-shore Pacific breeze and a few wispy high clouds in S. California! ☺

And MN drivers are better than most in winter conditions.

I’m out in Omaha and the measurement I use to tell if Spring has arrived is whether I see the first bunny while at work taking a walking break in the quad.

Yesterday...FIRST bunny of 2018. April 13th is first day of Spring in Omaha. It just is. I don’t make the rules.

All this bad weather is NOT winter. It’s a....

Spring Snow

That is all.

I was going to suggest suing Al Gore for false advertising.
