Greeley County is located on the central High Plains and is broken in the northern half by Ladder Creek and White Woman Creek. The boundless prairie landscape lends itself to beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and the area boasts more days of sunshine than the national average.
The temperate climate encourages outdoor activities year round. It’s common to see people roaming the streets without coats in December. The winter average high is around 42 degrees, and the summer average high is 92 degrees.
Greeley County fully experiences all four seasons, and the transition periods are a sight to behold. The weather can change from balmy and spring-like to a winter playground in a matter of hours. Area summers are green and golden rich with wheat, corn, and milo painting the canvas of the plains. In early fall the reds, golds, and bronzes of the little blue stem, turkey track, and other native grasses blanket the open prairie. |
