Lincoln's earliest snowfall came on September 29, 1985. I remember it very well, and that darn snow has distorted my perception of when winter weather is likely to begin ever since. Thanks to that September snow I pretty much take it as a given that it will snow in October. When we don't get any snow until December, I'm crushed.
Do you remember September 29, 1985? Did it screw up your internal calendar as much as it screwed up mine?
This topic arose because of this weekend's forecast. We could see measurable snow on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Normally I love snow, but when you're a soccer ref snow in October is a bad thing. I have 3 games on my calendar for Saturday and Sunday, and I expect at least one more to get added. I'm already rocking a nice chest cold so I'm sure this weekend's weather will do me wonders. Oh well. Them's the hazards of the job.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
I remember it vividly. My wife and I were returning to Lincoln that day (a Sunday) from out of town and when it started to snow we were shocked since it seemed so early. It was my birthday weekend, so I think that’s why I remember it.
Definitely a memory-maker.
I remember that as well. It didn’t take long to melt, that’s for sure.
I was negative one year and one day old.
Just throwin’ it out there
😊
Enjoy!
