Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Sunday, November 30th, 2025.

We're waking up to a much quieter morning after yesterday's winter storm brought significant disruption across the metro. Snow ended by two o'clock yesterday afternoon, leaving most neighborhoods with around four inches on the ground, though western Iowa saw considerably more with Carroll picking up nine and a half inches. The roads are still treacherous out there, so if you're heading out today, take extra time and drive carefully.

Yesterday was chaotic on our streets. The Omaha Police Department responded to roughly seventy-five crashes across their coverage area starting around nine o'clock Saturday night. Officers are reminding everyone to clear all your windows before driving, increase your following distance, and keep your headlights on. At Eppley Airfield, airlines cancelled about five arrivals and fourteen departures yesterday due to the weather, which represents roughly twelve percent of Saturday's flights. If you're flying today, check with your airline first and arrive at least two hours before departure.

Speaking of transportation, Metro Transit services wrapped up at eight o'clock last night and won't resume until seven thirty this morning, with some buses running on snow routes. Check the Metro website for those updated routes. The City of Omaha has been working overtime on snow removal, and crews have been clearing major roads and moving into residential areas as conditions permit.

Here's something that affects your trash day this week. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday and landfill closures from the weather, all garbage and recycling collections have shifted by one day. If your normal pickup day is Monday, it's moving to Tuesday. Same pattern throughout the week with everything pushed back one day. Make sure your carts are out by six in the morning on your rescheduled day, and clear the snow around them so crews can access them.

Looking at today's weather, it's going to stay bitterly cold with temperatures hanging in the teens all day. Roads will remain slick, so this is an impact weather day. We're expecting overnight lows to drop into the low tens, so bundle up out there.

A few community notes for your calendar. The Holiday Lights Festival lighting ceremony that was postponed yesterday is happening tonight at the Gene Leahy Mall Performance Pavilion. Music starts at five o'clock and the ceremony at six. La Vista's sleigh ride and tree lighting also moved to next Sunday, December seventh, with the sleigh ride beginning at one o'clock. Over in Cedar Rapids, a USHL hockey game between the RoughRiders and Black Hawks has been rescheduled to today at four oh five in the afternoon.

Finally, congratulations to the Nebraska Huskers volleyball team, who wrapped up an unbeaten regular season yesterday with a sweep over Ohio State. The number one ranked Huskers finished thirty and zero, only the third time in school history that's happened. They'll find out their NCAA tournament seeding today when the selection show airs at five o'clock on ESPN.
