Weather and the Huskers, in no particular order.
Trying to warm up on Tuesday, but with a fresh pack of snow on the ground, eastern Nebraska will be much colder than the western half!

Reports are trickling in and they range from 1.7" to 3" for SE Nebraska from the snow early Monday (Dec 1, 2025).
Saw quite a few 1" reports from Roca, Denton, Murdock, Raymond, and Seward, but that was as of 7-8am, so it probably wasn't done snowing by then.

As expected, it's SNOWING Monday morning! We'll see around an inch or two after it's all said and done by late morning. Streets are slick, so take you're time getting to where you need to go!

A quick hitting system will drop a trace to 1" of fluffy snow Monday, with 1-2", possibly up to 4", in far SE Nebraska. Winter Wx Adv is in place.
Starts in western Nebraska late Sunday, into central Nebraska overnight, then into eastern Nebraska AM Monday. Lingers into Monday.

Wondering what all of the weather models are saying for snowfall potential on Saturday? I will be doing videos like this with every winter storm so if this is something that interests you, give me a like/sub on the old tube!
I've added my snowfall potential map for context:

This shows 10am Saturday, Nov 29th. It's when the rain in SE Nebraska is expected to change to snow. It will then push east. When this changes over to snow, how fast it moves east, and dry air will be big factors in our snow totals. My 1-2" still feels right for #LNK.

This rain snow mix has been persistently showing up in models for a few days now and keeps pushing it further and further west into eastern Nebraska.
It's only Wednesday and this is for Saturday night, so lots of time to fine tune the deets!
