Cool weather, season-ending freeze and snow highlight October

October began with some record-breaking high temperatures recorded at both Grand Island and Hastings airports. Just a day later, a cold front dropped the mercury and brought snow to some, but all season-ending freezes were recorded statewide by mid-October. Precipitation events also hindered harvest, with farmers concerned about bean swell reducing yields. Read more about how this month’s climate effected Nebraskans in the October edition of the Climate Update from the Nebraska State Climate Office.
