Dandelions Blooming as Snow Falls and Cold Returns
Sidney and Cheyenne counties saw a second heavy snow of the season with about six inches, following an earlier three inch fall six weeks prior. The coldest night dropped to eight below zero, rising to four above by morning, while milder weather since then is noted. The snow aided wheat but hindered corn shucking, with many coal bins found low and transport busy as forecasts expect continued cold and snow.
