  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Saturday, February 15, 2025. We're starting off with a look at the weather, which has been quite the topic of conversation lately. After a long dry spell, Omaha finally saw its first decent snow of the season, with totals ranging from 3 to 4 inches across the metro area. This snowfall has placed us in second place for the least snowy winter on record, if winter were to stop today[2].

    Looking ahead, we're expecting two more rounds of snow with a stretch of brutal cold, so make sure to bundle up if you're planning on heading out today. The RiverFront Ice Skating Ribbon is still open, offering a fun winter activity despite the chilly temperatures[1].

    In local news, a car crash at a troubled intersection has left neighbors wanting change. This incident highlights the ongoing need for improved traffic safety measures in our community[1].

    On a more positive note, a Council Bluffs teen has made it to the national finals of the Drive, Chip and Putt competition, bound for Augusta. We're rooting for our local talent to make it big[1].

    In real estate, evictions continue to rise in Sarpy County due to a lack of rental assistance. This issue underscores the importance of addressing housing affordability in our area[1].

    Moving on to community events, there's plenty to look forward to in the coming days. The UNL Bee Lab is hosting "Find the Queen," and for those who love theater, "Misery (The Play)" is on stage. If you're in the mood for something different, the Love Bites: Gothic Valentines Vampire Ball is happening tonight[4].

    In sports, we're keeping an eye on local school achievements. While there aren't any major updates today, we're always proud to highlight our local athletes' accomplishments.

    On the crime front, a recent disturbance resulted in a man being found with multiple stab wounds. This incident is a reminder to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities[5].

    In business news, there haven't been any major openings or closings in the past few days, but we're always on the lookout for new developments that impact our local economy.

    Finally, a quick mention of a feel-good community story: Lutheran Family Services has responded to recent allegations, emphasizing their commitment to serving our community[1].

    That wraps up today's Omaha Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
