Blustery, miserable conditions are expected to continue through the evening commute, but the bulk of this winter storm's snow has fallen in the Omaha metro area, according to the National Weather Service.

"There won't be a lot more falling," said Dave Fobert, meteorologist with the National Weather Service office that oversees the Omaha area.

Fobert said the metro area has received roughly 2 to 3 inches of snow, and an inch or so might yet fall.

The 2-4 inches is a general reduction of what had been forecast; the lessor amount is due to the storm shifting to the east slightly. Omaha and Lincoln had been on the edge of the heaviest snows, so a slight wobble in the storm was likely to change totals.
