Don't get sick of it yet, it's only the middle of February. It's going to make the rest of your winter more miserable. :smile:

About that time. How quickly things change up here. On the weekend we had the ac on and were wearing shorts. Now, it's time to haul out the winter jackets, fire up the furnace, haul out the winter hats and mitts for the kids and prepare to shovel.

That blue spot on the map is snow.

Oh. It is great living here. I love the fresh air. We have four dedicated seasons. Our spring and summer is nice. Fall gets cooler and when winter comes we actually have snow instead of the slushy crap the south gets. Id rather have snow any day then half snow half rain and six months of crap.

I'm looking forward to El Nino and some rain and snow this winter. Our mountains need the moisture. :whistling:

It's a gorgeous sunny morning but rain on the way for tomorrow.

My weather is on the National news.

I saw that. Wow, what a freakin' mess of mud on that interstate.

El Nino is supposed to give you guys a lot of moisture this winter. Lets hope it is in the form of snow pack in the Sierra Nevadas.

We'll need snow in the Cascades.

My bud in Iowa just text they made their first fire in the furnace... obama voters but use a stove not approved by EPA. Go figure. :neutral:

Supposed to be getting our first snow storm starting tomorrow afternoon. I can sure feel it in my back. They're calling for around 6" total I think. We'll see what we actually get.

It's already starting to blow out there. :hammer:
 
We have about 18" of snow that is here to stay. It is suppose to drop to about-7F by the weekend. Shaping up to a good start for the winter! I've already freighted building supplies to a neighbors cabin with the snowmachine last weekend and the mountain riding has begun all over the Alaska Range.:winterrul

I just came inside from my shop, and there are large snowflakes in the air...

But at 35 deg., they aren't long for the world.

I still have tillage to finish up, in the corn fields. When it is fit we run like heck again till the weather tells us no way...

When the ground freezes down to about 2" we're all done. Unless you like to break big iron.

Well, they weren't kidding when they said windy!
It's still gusting and roaring out there.
Trash bin was in the middle of the street with limbs and branches down.
No power loss so far!

Wimps! (LOL) We are projected to have winds up to 50 MPH with gusts up to 60. Humidity is down to 6%. The fire department has place personnel and equipment in the high danger zones. All we need is one idiot with a match.

The highest wind gust reported around here was 47mph today.

This is supposed to continue until tomorrow evening with a chance of
s n o w.

It's still very windy (30-40mph)

I was watching a bit of the national news at work today.
It showed a segment of the waters on Grand Haven, Michigan pier with the waves rolling under dark skies.
I thought it was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen.

Today was windy and overcast for the better part of the day.
We will see some snow on Saturday, projected to be less than an inch.
But some of you further north of here in Indiana and Michigan are supposed to get more.
