OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — If you haven't had a chance to step outside recently, frozen precipitation is beginning to hit the Metro. Schools and other organizations are already canceling evening activities or are dismissing early. Tonight's holiday kickoff in the Old Market has also been canceled.
It’s looking pretty wet out there now. This is along 72nd and Jones streets. Sleet is picking up but haven’t seen much accumulation yet. @3NewsNowOmaha pic.twitter.com/MpVITniEIg

We got a quick walk in before the graupel hit! It’s a German word for sleet which is soft hail or snow pellets. They form when supercooled water droplets freeze on falling snowflakes. @3NewsNowOmaha pic.twitter.com/Rq5L9XEQeX

A messy bag of graupel, sleet, and snow is moving through #Omaha right now. This shouldn’t cause too many issues, but things will likely pick up again this evening. pic.twitter.com/ZVDTtZQEkP
