Forum 1.3 - Explaining Nebraska

Climograph for Omaha, Nebraska
Guiding Inquiry: What is the significance of temperature, precipitation, and altitude in helping to determine the climate characteristics of a region? (3.2.a)

Guiding Thought Question: How would you explain the climate of Omaha to someone who has never been here before? For spring, summer, fall, and winter write generally what someone could expect for temperature and precipitation patterns for each of the seasons. 

Today's Learning Objective: Students will investigate the Koppen Climate Classification system and how it is used to group areas into regions based on their physical characteristics by going through guided instruction on the system and then creating and interpreting a climograph.

It literally makes no sense. The winters are unpredictible, it could be negative degress one day and then 50 degrees the next. The summer is usually fairly nice and we sometimes have a lot of rain. Spring is almost non existent and fall is also pretty short.

Very hot, humid summers and dry, cold winters. Short fall and spring with only a few weeks of moderate temperatures.

I have SEVERAL stories of actually doing this BUT!!!

We live by the saying "If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes" or however the h#ck it goes. That's the climate.

ANYWAY there's this person I know and she lives in Canada and I brought up Runza to her once and she responded that I sounded like I was speaking gibberish.

Summer: kinda warm at the start and warmest round late july and august. A pretty decent amount of rain.

Fall: still warm like it is in the summer and not a lot of rain.

Winter: 20-30 degrees one week and 40-50 degrees the next. and snows mostly in jan. and maybe feb
