On Feb. 2, Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog emerged from his home in Pennsylvania and predicted six more weeks of an already cold winter, and Nebraska has experienced that extension of winter.Â
The middle of February reached frigid temperatures, not just in Lincoln but all around Nebraska. When temperatures in Lincoln dipped to -31 degrees on Feb. 16, it was the second coldest temperature recorded in the city since 1887, according to KETV Newswatch 7.Â
These temperatures came just weeks after Nebraska was hit with a snow storm that resulted in Lincoln getting 14.5 inches of snow on Jan. 25, according to the Lincoln Weather and Climate data.
