It’s cold, it’s white, it’s slippery, snow is falling at the moment in Omaha and this will mark the beginning of actually having to pay attention when you drive (more than you do now). No, having 4 wheel drive doesn’t somehow make anyone immune from this. Everyone understands it’s not very much but things will get far worse before they get better.
It will most likely snow off and on till late March and the snow will most likely be here till the end of April. Please check the tread on your tires and have them rotated in order to help with traction, or even replaced altogether. This will be expensive but won’t be something that is much of an option for safely commuting. This is a way of stating that your safety directly impacts the safety of the persons driving around you.
Snow happens every year and it always seems to take a large part of the population by surprise when it comes to getting behind the wheel and how much time people are going to need to add to their commute in Omaha, this is when adding “the roads are a mess” into any conversation relieves anyone from a 5-10 minute late arrival when snow has fallen.
Remember that this is going to suck for everyone and that no one is happy about driving in these type of conditions, so please don’t add to this awful experience. Turning left on yellow is going to be discouraged, adding 10 feet to your stop is encouraged and anyone caught playing All I want for Christmas is you before December 1st will prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
