The City Snow Center wants to notify residents that they are not engaging in a full-scale plowing effort in residential areas in the wake of the recent storm. However, street crews will be plowing in some residential areas along the perimeter of the city limits and in some newer developments where drifts are more likely to occur.

The Snow Center wants to hear from residents in residential areas where streets are not passable. The public is encouraged to call the Snow Center at 441-7644 if there is a street that is not passable and in need of plowing.

StarTran reports that buses are currently running on time.

Please stay informed on traffic conditions and the status of snow operations in Lincoln. Additional information is available on the City Web site at lincoln.ne.gov and on pages 48 and 49 in the blue pages of your Windstream phone directory. If you have questions, you may call the Public Works Snow Center at 441-7644.

Officials stress that those heading out to scheduled activities should check to see if they are cancelled. To see 10/11's list of activity and event cancellations plus business and government office closures, click here.>

Aging Partners reminds its clients that ActivAge Centers are closed whenever the Lincoln Public Schools are closed because of weather.

The piles of snow are very dangerous trying to pull out through the intersection.

If people would replace their bald tires or put snow tires on the driven wheels of their cars, there wouldn't be so much complaining. I would love to have some sort of 4 wheel drive vehicle for winter but just cant see spending the extra cash to just let it sit durring decent weather (especially when you pay the outragous registration fees in this city), and with gas breaking record high prices I can't justify using a 4 wheel drive as a primary vehicle. Don't even get me started with global warming wakos.

You know, I have lived in many different cities of varying sizes and not one can do a good enough job to make everyone happy. There are different obstacles for different cities and different budgets. The city does what it can witht he resources it has. Deal with it.

I have no complaints of the snow removal. They can only do so much and I think they are going a great job. Thank you!

What is so bad about the streets? I have had no problem getting around. Thanks to all the people who put their lives on hold while they clean the streets for the rest of us.
