The Coldest of the Cold

     This year in the western part of Nebraska has been extremely odd. Up until a couple weeks ago we have had beautiful weather for October and November. Usually there has been multiple snowy days by then, but not this year. It was up in the high 60's and at night around the high 50's.
     The weather was truly splendid until the 10th of November came. On this day snow came down hard and the sun was sheltered away for a long week and a half. During the sun's absence, Chadron and other towns in the western part of Nebraska froze. With the wind blowing up to 20mph, it would make your runny nose into snot icicles.
      Kaitlyn Haug said, "I had to bundle up way more than I favor. I'm not a huge fan of cold weather, but my heavy gloves and cozy scarf prevented me from becoming cold. These few days that have been so cold really are dangerous because the streets in Chadron are so iced over and many people have been sliding all of the place."
      Keenan Johnson said, "I don't totally hate the cold because I'm a chill guy and also because when I see snow I think of fun winter activities such as skiing, hunting, and sledding behind a truck."
     With Sunday being our highest temperature at 34 degrees since the 10th. These cold day have indeed been punishing and brutal for many people and have people like Kaitlyn are praying for warmer weather.
