North Platte, Nebraska not only exceeded their seasonal average snowfall during the month of October 2009 (a month which normally only brings 5%)... they broke the all-time snowiest month record there with over 30 inches! According to ThreadEx, records have been maintained there since 1874. Snow is not unprecedented in October there, but it is unusual; prior to 2009, only 3 of the last 10 years had featured any snow there, and never more than 5 inches for the entire month.
THE OCTOBER 30TH SNOWSTORM (NWS)
The snowstorm last week that dropped about a foot was centered over Lincoln County and was the second foot of snow for the month (and third snowstorm!) The highest amounts reported in the county during either snowstorm were 17 inches eight miles WNW of the city on October 10th, and 15 inches near Sutherland on October 30th.

Hello: Jesse,
it is 2.00 pm in the afternoon and I have been watching a storm in the gulf of mexico.
Im wondering Jesse why thier is no trace of it on the national hurricane sight and why is it no trace of the storm on accuweather .
This storm looks at this point to be on the southern end of an old boundary just off the ucatan panensula. It appears to have tropical caractoristics and is blowing up fast .I realize you guys can't get ahead of the gov . I think that is quite crappy to of Rome and her bitch the US gov.I hope you all take notice at Accuweather because this might be urgent.
Have a nice day Jesse .
