The Pott Co Pulse
| March 12, 2026 | Pottawattamie County, Iowa |
Hey, Pott Co! Soak up Saturday's 57-degree sunshine, but don't pack away those winter coats before Sunday's snowy reality check. St. Patrick's Day on Tuesday brings 45-degree weather. Perfect for a cozy local pub crawl instead of freezing on a patio. Grab your green gear, hit the town, and remember: there is absolutely zero reason to sit in Omaha traffic this weekend.
