Nebraska Snowfall

While Grand Rapids didn’t get any measurable snow in October, it was a different story in parts of the Plains. North Platte, Nebraska had 30.3” of snow in October. That was not only the snowiest October ever, but it also ranks as the snowiest month ever recorded at North Platte, besting March of 1912 (records go back 135 years)! The 30.3” is more snow than they normally get during the entire winter! On the morning of the 30th, observers reported snow drifts of 3-4 feet near North Platte. Plows pushed the piles up to 6 feet high in the downtown area. The average high temperature in North Platte was 13.8° cooler than average in October. They had only two days when the temperature was warmer than average and 23 of 31 mornings were at or below freezing. (picture from Curtis, NE. from Dean Cosgrove of www.chasetours.com)
Wow! October the snowiest month ever…
Watch out. That may be us at this time next month!

I rode my bike to work today, much better riding in the cold! Without being a pile of sweat I can take a shower at home before the ride and then just comb my hair when I get to work. If the cool mornings keep coming I’ll ride again.
I miss Nebraska, if I could convince my dad to move there,
I would move there. Towns I would considering moving to:
Beatrice, Columbus, Fremont, Grand Island, Hastings, Kearney,
Lincoln, and Omaha. Used to live in Omaha for a short time.
