Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

No student comes to Nebraska for the weather. Expect to being wearing a coat in the morning, a rain coat in the afternoon, and shorts in the evening. This combination can also vary from week to week, day to day, and possibly even hour to hour. The weather in Nebraska never stays the same for very long.

Unfortunately, there are usually some weather patterns you can count on. Summer is sizzling—it’s common for students to walk to their first week of classes in 100-degree heat. And winter is Arctic—one winter, Lincoln recorded 12 days of sub-zero temperatures. The best solution to Lincoln’s wide range of weather is to wake up in the morning prepared for anything. Always have a sweater for September and a pair of shorts for January because there’s no telling when you might need them.

Weather in the midwest can be very touchy. One day it could be 75 in January and the next it could be a snow storm. We have no underground tunnels so you always have to go outside to get anywhere you wanna go whether its the dining hall or class.

Weather Is Inconsistent

The weather in Lincoln is very inconsistent. It could be 70 degrees and beautiful one day, and then 30 and windy the next. It snows some during the winter, but hardly ever causes a problem. Walking to class is not fun early in the morning because the roads and sidewalks are a mess. But, since it is a short walk, it is never too bad. When the weather turns nice, it is excellent!

Snow

Since i live in Nebraska, the weather is always changing from day to day. We face extremes on both sides. We have really cold snowing winters and hot and humid summers. This makes the walk to class less enjoyable, but there's nothing I can do about it.
