City of Lincoln Declares Snow Emergency

By Tom Stanton Jan 4, 2025 | 8:57 PM
The City of Lincoln has declared a Snow Emergency with the anticipation of several inches of snow.  A Snow Emergency parking ban will be in effect at 12:01 a.m. Sunday.
  • A snow emergency parking ban means parking is banned on both sides of emergency snow routes, arterial streets, school and bus routes. Maps of these routes are available at lincoln.ne.gov/snow under the “Parking Bans & Ordinances” tab.  City officials say residents should plan for alternate parking to allow crews room to clear the way safely and efficiently.
  • Residential parking bans are not in effect at this time.
Crews are on patrol treating emergency snow routes, arterial streets, school and bus routes with granular salt pre-wet with brine. Plow teams are on alert in anticipation of accumulating overnight snowfall.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect until 11:59 p.m. Sunday.  Between 5 and 12 inches of snow, wind gusts up to 35 mph and ice accumulations around a light glaze are possible.
Additional winter operations information is available at lincoln.ne.gov/snow.
