Thank goodness Cornhuskers have a good sense of humor about the weather, because it’s back to frigid temperatures this year. Experts at the old Farmers’ Almanac have issued their decree: the 2023-2024 winter predictions for Nebraska are be toe-curlingly cold. But people need to learn how to handle the polar gusts like a born-and-raised Nebraskan. Between the blusters, Nebraska residents always find time to get outside and make the most of the winter wonderland!
After a relatively mild winter last year, the weather is back to her usual tricks in the coming season. And that means wind chill that'll freeze you right through four layers of clothes.
It's likely that an El Niño, caused by unseasonably warm waters off the Pacific Coast of South America, will stir up toward the end of 2023. In the past, this has meant a dive in regional temperatures and a torrent of sleet, ice, and snow across the state.
Luckily, Nebraskans know the drill. Windshield wipers up, stock up on essentials when necessary, and crack your knuckles for a winter of sidewalk shoveling. Oh, and thank your grandma for those sweaters she's always knitting you!
Yes, you might come back from the store with frost on your eyelashes. Still, it's a season when communities pull together to assist friends in need and exercise the neighborliness Nebraskans are known for.
Not to mention, those blustering storms leave behind some of the most peaceful landscapes you've ever seen.
The verdict is in. The 2023-2024 winter predictions for Nebraska say things are returning to their frigid normal. For Nebraskans, the freezing weather is par for the course. Bundle up in your thickest cold-weather gear, practice new shoveling techniques, and try out time-saving gadgets to make life easier at polar temperatures. But don’t forget, even in the midst of all the hard work that comes with heavy snowfall, to block out time to explore the great outdoors, and attend local winter activities you can only enjoy this time of year!
