  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for February 14, 2025. We're starting off with some breaking news from the weather front. After a long wait, Omaha finally saw its first decent snow of the season yesterday, with totals ranging from 3 to 4 inches across the metro area. This still places us in second place for the least snowy winter on record, but it's a welcome change for snow lovers[2].

    Speaking of weather, today is expected to be quite chilly, with a forecast of light freezing rain and temperatures hovering around 0 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're planning on stepping out, make sure to bundle up. Looking ahead, we're expecting a couple more rounds of snow and a stretch of brutal cold, so stay tuned for updates[1][3].

    In local news, a car crash at a troubled intersection has left neighbors wanting change. This incident highlights the need for improved safety measures in our community. On a more positive note, a Council Bluffs teen is making headlines as a Drive, Chip and Putt national finalist, bound for Augusta. We wish them the best of luck[1].

    On the business front, HomeGoods, Sierra Trading Post, and Ross Dress for Less are planning to open at Manawa Power Center in Council Bluffs. This development will bring new shopping options to the area. Meanwhile, Dickey's Barbecue Pit has closed or sold nearly 100 locations in 2024, leaving only 366 operational nationwide, including one in Omaha at 12241 West Center Road[5].

    In community events, don't miss the Mid-Winter Float Fest happening on February 19th at Scriptown Brewing Company, featuring curated ice cream and beer pairings. Also, Scale Omaha is hosting 2x Technical Founder w/ Ben Stevinson, Co-Founder of Workshop, on February 20th, where he'll share his journey as a repeat founder and technical leader[5].

    In sports, the Florida Gators are set to begin their road back to Omaha in 2025, aiming for a deep run in the College World Series. The team returns 17 players from last season's roster and welcomes a top-rated transfer class[4].

    In real estate, the Harney Street reconstruction project has been delayed due to weather, but the Omaha Streetcar project continues to move forward. The design is now 100% complete and under final review[5].

    In local achievements, we'd like to mention the upcoming events at Millwork Conversations, featuring John Grange, which will provide an opportunity to learn from innovators and thought leaders in our community[5].

    Today's crime report includes a potential cancellation of Krush Ultra Lounge's liquor license following multiple police incidents. The final decision rests with the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission[5].

    This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
