Friendly, clean and conservative

I'm from Southern California and have visited Omaha twice because I have a friend who lives there (he's been trying to get me to move there for the past 20 or so years). I had a positive first impression of the area---the people were friendly, most of the city is pretty clean, and I felt it had a laid-back, small-townish, conservative feel to it. I also had the BEST steak dinner of my life both times I visited. I haven't completely ruled out moving there, but it's going to take some time. I know the area has a strong economy with low unemployment, which is good to know. The housing prices and apartment rents are VERY reasonable compared with how they are here in California. What does concern me, however, is how extreme the weather can get there, especially in the winter, being that I never experienced a 4-season climate. I definitely want to make another visit to Omaha in the near future; it's been TOO long! Finally, Omaha seems very family-oriented. I'm wondering what the singles scene is like.
