Divide County may experience severe weather during any season. Our winters are known for subzero temperatures, snow, icy roads, and occasional blizzards. We frequently experience severe thunderstorms with hail and damaging winds during the summer months and although unusual, we have had five recorded tornados in Divide County since 1950. We are at risk for ice storms in both the fall and spring that bring not only dangerous driving conditions but also the possibility of wide spread power outages.
