October 1997: The Big Clean-Up October 27, 2006

Walking outside Sunday morning was a shock for every person in the Omaha-Metro area (and people across portions of the Midwest). Just looking out the window was shock enough for most people. When the snow began falling, it wasn’t supposed to stick. However, as it kept falling it became apparent that this storm was going [...]

October 1997: The Big Bust October 24, 2006

I’ve been bringing up that Sunday morning with a lot of people around the newsroom. Most of our photographers have been here for years, so many have some interesting stories. Bob Gillum, a photographer for over 25 years, was sleeping hard Sunday morning after working for most of the day on Saturday. He remembers waking [...]

It Was Nine Years Ago… October 23, 2006

Anyone that lived in Nebraska in 1997 remembers the October Snowstorm. I certainly do and I know just from asking a few friends they remember it vividly too. I went to bed Saturday night and woke up Sunday morning to a completely different scene. In just a few hours, snow quickly piled up to over [...]

More Cold Temperatures October 23, 2006

More cold temperatures are on the way for Monday morning. I went back and checked the records all the way until 1991. This is shaping up to be a pretty cold October.
If we do drop into the 20s Monday morning (which we should) it will make for the 5th time this October our temps will [...]

Temps in the 20s… October 22, 2006

A quick post…
Tomorrow morning will be the 4th morning this month that we start the day in the 20s. That’s crazy… Right now we’re starting to focus on the winter weather forecast. Even though we’re starting October on the cold-side, I think we’ll get into winter and be pretty mild. It [...]

A Nasty Husker Day October 20, 2006

It’s going to be an absolutely awful day tomorrow. If you’re heading down to the game prepare for some nasty weather.
Temperatures will be in the upper 30s and lower 40s throughout the morning in Lincoln. There will probably be some light precip falling. I say “precip”, because it’s more than likely rain with a little [...]

Yuck… October 15, 2006

It’s my least favorite weather today. I absolutely despise cold, cloudy, damp days. One of my roommates in college loved weather like this. To him… today would be a Top 10 Day. Of course, he also wore three shirts and jeans on a regular basis (even in the summer), so it makes sense he would [...]

Can’t Beat Fall October 14, 2006

Call me crazy… but I’m ready for winter. Bring it on. I’m usually ready for the season that comes next though… so once it gets to winter, I’ll want Spring.. then summer… then fall. And it goes on and on like that forever.
It’s a perfect day though for the middle of October and since it’s [...]

A Crisp Fall Day October 12, 2006

I really like days like today. Although it was a bit windy. I had today off and so I ran a few errands and then went out and drove around the bluffs and took pictures. Thought I would share some of them with you….

While I was taking photos a farm dog ran up to [...]

The Polar Plunge October 8, 2006

As I sit here about to eat my frozen pizza (it was frozen, now fully baked in all of its non-gourmet glory), all eyes are on the midweek plunge of cold air from the arctic.
The air that will be swept our way for Wednesday into Thursday is now hanging out north of Hudson Bay.. Just [...]
