Growing up in Omaha (and eastern NE, western IA), you're probably pretty familiar with this map.
But here's something that you might not be familiar with:
A potentially historic El Niño is shaping the outlook for winter 2026–2027. That doesn’t necessarily mean a mild winter in Omaha. Days of warmth could bring cold snaps and sudden bursts of snow can still happen. Warmer days followed by freezing nights also mean melting snow can refreeze.
Now is a good time to clear leaves from gutters and downspouts so water can drain, replace worn weatherstripping and reseal gaps around doors and windows.
A little preparation now can help keep your home more comfortable when winter arrives.
