We were supposed to get some storms this evening as part of the cold front moving in.
They fizzled out and now it's just raining and the wind is picking up, still at 60 degrees.
Rain and snow showers tomorrow with chilly temps.

From the local weather channel.

Just drove through 5.5hrs of crap to get to Duluth MN. Apparently the good ole USA can't afford freaking snow plows. Average of 6" of snow on the road. 100ft hill on the right and 100ft drop into lake superior on the left. Strong winds and white outs.

At least you'll be in the right place to buy some new Buck Naked underwear. Sounds as if you may need them. :yum:

I guess we avoided the majority of the storm. Seeing pictures of home they got close to 2 feet overnight in places. Most highways closed. Hydro out.

We have rain today and plus 9, rain again tomorrow. Yesterday was sunny and plus10. Not complaining at all...:flowers:
Last year by this date in November we had 33 hours on the snowplows and used 135 tons of sand on the road. This year we have yet to start the plows..Watch out when it changes.:unsure:

Cool. I've never been up to any of the northern reserves. I only worked with the kids once they are in the city.

It got cold here, but no snow yet. In fact some people still have their boats in the water.

Yeah, the wind and the rain here is nuts.
Ran down to Niedeckens's Carry-Out for a loaf of bread and whoosh.

I think you guys are getting the same storm. When I zoom out it extends past the south end of lake Michigan. We're in a full on downpour here.

We're officially in brrrrrr mode. -22c. We had a decent first snowfall a couple weeks ago but mild temperature melted most of it. Now we're freezing with very little ground insulation. I'd leave a tap running to avoid pipes in the ground from freezing but we're on water meters here and pay for the amount we use. That's always been a problem up here. Not enough snow to insulate the ground so the frost gets deeper and freezes lines.

Well, we only had 3 days of freezing temperatures and then the wind swung round from the north to almost due south. Since then it's been a lot warmer, almost pleasant, but it's been drizzling for 3 days.

I've got stuff I need to be doing outside before Christmas but it doesn't look as if it is going to get done. There's something really depressing about grey clouds and drizzle. If I'd wanted weather like this I would have stayed in Scotland.

-19c with a windchill of -37c. My neighbor a block away was outside and farted. I smelled it go past my place a second after it left his pants. Yes. It's windy out there. I'm staying inside. There was a big accident this morning somewhere close to where I had mine involving 3 vehicles. One fatal. One serious and one unknown right now. So it must be a mess to close down 4 lanes of highway.

Well , me too but my septic tank is screwed up. We're digging it out tomorrow ... if we can find it. An interesting few days in my future.

The weather is grey, damp and miserable but it's still getting up in to about 50 during the day. In 2 days we're supposed to be back to freezing as another cold front comes through. You can keep those minus temps. My arthritic old body wouldn't function at those temperatures.
