7 at Omaha (October to May) and 6 at North Platte (October to May), plus 1 and 2 months of wetsuit weather. Those off the water months hold 27.3 of the 29.6 inches of snow North Platte averages a year (92%), which is the load on a cover or carport roof. At Omaha a personal watercraft is on the water from June to September (4 months), against 4 at North Platte.
