On Tuesday evening, snow began falling lightly at approximately 6 p.m. By 8 p.m. it was falling more heavily and was covering city streets in Lincoln. The weather forecast was for two or three inches in this area. Lincoln Street Superintendent Walt Landers said at 8 p.m. that he was expecting that there would be plowing take place on Wednesday morning. The snow was expected to stop around 3 a.m. and Landers said plow crews would be on the job quickly after that. With an anticipated two-plus inches accumulation, snow routes will be activated. Plowing will still take place according to the city's snow removal plan, so some of those snow routes may not be plowed right away. To review the plan and the list of priority streets, click here.
