Temperatures cool following winter storm

KIMBALL – Last week’s winter storm began with freezing fog on Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 17. Snowfall began later in the evening and continued for about 24 hours. By Thursday morning, Jan. 19, Kimball had received a little more than a foot of snow containing a bit more than an inch of liquid water. During and after the storm winds were generally mild, however, the persistent northwest breeze caused continual drifting making travel and livestock feeding difficult at times.

Reviewing the second half of 2022 weather at Kimball

As we saw last week, the first half of 2022 was, on balance, cooler than average. Interestingly, it was wetter than average as well, at least so far as measured precipitation goes. Unfortunately, in most locations measured snow and rain didn’t translate very well into soil moisture. Much of the winter snow sublimated or evaporated before it could percolate through frozen topsoil, and spring rains were too sparse to meet the needs of springtime green-up. The important fact is that soil moisture was insufficient to spur plant growth in both crops and grasslands during the vital spring period.
