Lincoln residents woke up to the first measurable snow of the season Wednesday morning.
Around 7 a.m., nine Lancaster County Sheriff’s deputies were out working accidents, mostly fender-benders, according to a county dispatcher.
Lincoln Fire and Rescue responded to a one-vehicle rollover accident on the 27th Street Interchange of Interstate 80 right around 6 a.m., said Deputy Chief Pat Borer.
A pregnant woman was taken to the hospital, but she did not appear to be badly hurt, Borer said.
Some snow-packed areas were slick, Borer said.
There was a continued 50 percent chance of snow in the morning, followed by a chance of flurries, with a high near 31. The forecast was blustery, with a north northwest wind 21 to 24 mph decreasing to between 9 and 12 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph. Less than half an inch of daytime snow accumulation was expected.
Forecasters warned some areas of blowing snow might occur as winds of 25 to 30 mph were possible, with gusts up to 35 or 40 mph.
The evening was expected to be mostly cloudy, with a low around 16.
Thursday’s forecast is mostly cloudy, with a high near 30.
Friday is expected to be partly sunny, with a high near 37.
