I've gotta confess, my experience of Nebraska winters has been pretty similar.
I lived in the northern half of the state (from one end to the other) for about 25 years and have lived here in the southern part for five (we get kansas winters down here!)
Dry vs. wet depends on the storm, but it's pretty unusual that some part of the state will have a snow that hangs on for the entire season...

What about Henderson, Nebraska? It has a population of 999 people. When I think of a small town, Henderson comes to mind. It has a great history and everyone knows eachother.

Honestly, i'm sure there are many towns that would fit what i need in a town, and it's hard to choose. I'll look into Henderson for sure, though I am very happy with Bassett up to now |

what kinds of flowers are common in people's gardens in Nebraska? Or is it much different from other parts of the States? I'm just curious, since I know different flowers and plants survive in different ecosystems and climates, and I wasn't sure how similar it would be to, for all convenience, Southern Ontario...

Hi I'm from a small nebraska town and I moved here from Arizona believe it or not! A small town of 639 people! I love it! I'm pretty computer savvy and do websites and did our town website! Our town would probably work perfect for a story line! Welcome to the New Sargent, Nebraska's Website Sending the 2 finger wave! |

Man, ya'll live in cities! LOL My town has 177 people!
Everything grows here except sub-tropical or tropical plants... roses have to have sub-zero cert due to the occasional -30 and -40 temps. Lilacs, daylilies, sunflowers, most spring bulb plants like tulips and daffodils, I have all seen here - also, oddly, hibiscus flowers as big as dinner plates! They don't bloom as early as further south, but they do bloom, as long as they are kept cool and watered in the hot summer sun. NE varies from Zone 4 to 6, depending on location; and other factors like microclimates behind buildings and fences, that reflect sunlight or keep off winds, play a part as well. Peonies and pansies, and last year I grew some petunias that would not quit! And - we have TWO grape farmers in the area, one that processes them for vinegar, one that sells them for wine... O'Neill grows potatoes as does my area; my brother picked up 140,000 lbs of potatoes to take them to the plant in a certain "potato" state to be processed into tots and fries... talk about "coals to Newcastle"!!
Wherever you pick, please please PLEASE do NOT do what so many writers do - visit a place for 3 months and think that you know everything about it! The woman/travel writer who went to SC and raved about the "Palm Eddo" trees, had simply done NO research into the history of the tree that is on their flag, or why, or what it was used for! Assume NOTHING...
