Snow and slick roads are not the only things this winter storm has brought to Lincoln.
The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore is in Lincoln to cover this latest blast of winter.
He arrived Wednesday night to prepare.
Crowds of fans came to take pictures and get Cantore's autograph.
But with this storm being so widespread, why Lincoln?
"A couple days ago Lincoln looked like they were going to get hammered. They were kind of in the zone of about 18 to 24 inches," Cantore said. "So the call is to always try to get Jim in the big stuff, right?"
The weather team set hours, updating the entire nation on the storm that's hitting the capitol city.
And while most of us cringe when we hear winter storm warning, Cantore can't get enough of it.
"At the end of the day this is all good news. You ask a farmer around here if they're happy or not. If one of them says no, they're not a farmer," Cantore said.
Jim Cantore and his crew say they're planning on heading out Friday afternoon, but he's not sure where.
