While we heartily recommend visiting Nebraska in the spring, summer, and fall, who in their right mind would come to the Cornhusker State in the winter? No one, that’s who – and here’s why no one should.
- It’s dreadfully drab and ugly.
Zach Hanson Ugh, have you ever seen anything so unattractive?
- There’s nothing fun to do at all.
flickr/Visit Grand Island We really don’t know how to have a good time in winter. Is that even possible?
- No one even leaves their houses all winter.
flickr/Asten Since there’s nothing to do and it’s so cold, we pretty much just stay inside from October to March.
- Everyone just loathes the snow…
flickr/Michael Thurber Ew, falling snow is probably the worst thing we’ve ever seen.
- …And we’re buried under about 6 feet of it all winter long.
flickr/Mr. Nixter We haven’t seen grass or concrete for months.
- We take ourselves WAY too seriously.
Nebraska Tourism We’re so grumpy all winter that you probably wouldn’t want to be around us anyway.
- You can forget about your favorite outdoor activities.

- And you might as well get used to your kids doing nothing but watching TV until the spring thaw.
Facebook/Fontenelle Forest Have you heard? Kids hate the snow. Even if there were fun things to do, they’d want to stay in all winter anyway.
- There’s no color anywhere.
flickr/Christa (Burns) Porter It’s all brown and white, everywhere you look. It’s all pretty depressing, if you ask us.
- Don’t count on spotting any cool wildlife until spring.
flickr/John Carrell All of the animals have the right idea - they’ve left for warmer, prettier places.
- The whole state pretty much shuts down in the winter - no festivals or fun times at all.
Nebraska Tourism We hate the winter so much that we wouldn’t even think about celebrating it, especially with fun-sounding activities like “Winterfest.”
In case you haven’t picked up on it yet, we’re being totally sarcastic. Nebraska is amazing in the winter! A little (or a lot of) snow can’t hold us back from having all kinds of fun all year round.
