Weather in Holt: plan the website around it

Holt weather, in normals: July highs around 88°F, January lows around 17°F, measured at Kearney, 6.1 miles away (1991-2020). About 41 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in July. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 37 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 128 days. Winter changes what people need: plowing and heating in winter, yard work and construction once it thaws. Give seasonal work its own page, so the right page is there when the weather turns.
