December Dry Cold Nebraska Says Bureau LINCOLN December was cold and rather dry the weath er Bureau reported here. Aver age temperatures ranged from a little over 1 degree below nor mal over the Panhandle to about 8 below over the extreme north- central portion of the state. The average was about the same as for the cold December of 1951. The total precipitation was gen erally above normal over the north central and northeastern portions of the State, and near normal elsewhere except that the southeastern and south western portions of the state were very dry. Cold weather prevailed during most of the first three weeks of the month. However, there were no extremely cold days. Low temperatures ranged from near zero in the extreme southern portion of the State downward to -16 at Broken Bow. The only storm of importance during the month occurred on the 2-3rd. This brought heavy snow to the central and north eastern portions of the state, with strong northerly winds. Blizzard conditions pre vailed over the north-central and northeastern portions of the State. Many roads were blocked Lighter snows, which drifted very little, occurred over most of the state around the 9th and 11th. here was no precipitation of importance during the latter half of the month. Snow and following cold weather were very unfavorable for, livestock. Heavy feeding was required, and supplies were none too plentiful. During the last 10 days of the month, the snow melted over the southern half of the State and the Pan handle. Cured range and corn stalk fields became available and ' were used to reduce con sumption of cured feed. Much of the wheat was protected by snow during the cold weather, but the snow blew off some of the fields in the west.
