Central and Southeast Nebraska got their first snow of the season Tuesday, welcoming winter on Halloween.
Light snow started to fall in the Lincoln are around 1:30 p.m., with snow and flurries expected continue until after 8 p.m. Temperatures were expected to hover at near-freezing as trick-or-treating time approaches.
The National Weather Service warned that even light snowfall could result in slick spots during the afternoon and evening. City officials in Lincoln said they did not expect icy conditions, but encouraged drivers to use caution anyway.Â
Going to be chilly for the kiddos out there this evening, temps in the 30s. Maybe even some flurries still left for trick or treating time.
