Title: Snow Yet??
Post by: Brkeatr on October 28, 2008, 04:22:09 AM
Well, it was bound to happen but why this early ??   :-[

Schools are closed today and they are predicting 8-12 inches of heavy wet snow with high winds and possiblity of widespread power outages.

Does anyone down south have rooms for rent for the winter??    :px

Feel for ya bro.  Isn't often you are shoveling the drive so kids can go Trick or Treating.   In northern Illinois we had snow showers but no accumulation.

North Texas had our first freeze last night.  Maybe I can stop mowing now.

Yeah, rub it in Max....lol

Thanks Paul. We don't usually get hit this early but it does happen every now and then.

Sure seems funny to look out the window and see everything white already and the snow plows running up and down the roads.

Gotta feeling it's going to be a long winter..... :(

We had a good frost last night.  It was noticeably cold when I went out running at 06:30 this morning.
When the sun finally rose it was a lovely looking morning though.
This afternoon, in typical British fashion, it is now a bit grey and miserable looking.  We may get some cold drizzle.

No snow yet....., but those darn lakeshore winds will be a blowing.
Winds, winds and more winds, north, west and south!!!

Tonight the lows will be in the upper 20s (Brrrr), except in the mid 30s downtown. west winds 10 to 15 mph. Tomorrow temps rebound in the lower 50s, north winds 10 to 15 mph. Thursday & Friday it will be sunny and warmer. Highs in the mid 60s with south winds blowing, 10 to 15 mph.

At least I don't have to worry about wind swept hair. Living in the windy city and trying to conceal MPB presented quite the challenge. Glad I now use a razor instead of a comb each morning.  O:O

We got our first fall of snow over here today: gigantic flakes, and quite heavy, but it didnt settle.  Frost and ice are forecast for this evening. >:(

We had 12 inches of wet sloppy snow in mid -October; which was unusual; even for Saskatchewan.  It melted after a few days.  Currently, we have nights going down to about 25. During the day it will go anywhere from 40 to 55 or so.  Tomorrow is supposed to be 60.

Very rare to get snow in our part of the country (coastal south carolina) but I always think about in 1989 we had a rare storm that dumped 3 feet of snow mixed with ice. My wife, who was my girlfriend at the time, had just moved in with me. Guys I love her dearly but I hope I NEVER get snowbound with her for over 36 hours again. We lived in single wide mobile home back then and I had no idea you could rearrange furniture so many times!! Fortunate part is that was BEFORE her addiction to Home and Garden TV.

No snow in GA yet.  We did have a low of 32 last night (2 degrees below the predicted 34) and a predicted low of 32 tonight.

This morning when I went to work at 7:30 it was 19 degrees.  By 2:00 this afternoon it was 61.  Makes dressing for the weather challenging.  No snow yet here in the great north however.

I'm mad at all of you in this thread that just jinxed me!  This was going to be the first year that we didn't hunt in the snow.  After reading this thread I checked the weather in Leadore, ID and it appears there will be snow fall now.  It was supposed to be 60 degrees and clear all week.

Normal mixed wheather here in northern Germany this fall: 5-15 degree Celsius, some rain, some sun, a little mist. In September there have been some nights with -5 degree Celsius frost.

Sorry Tyler....didn't mean to do that to ya....the storm ended here and some spots got almost 20 inches depending on location. We escaped the brunt and only got a few but up the road a couple miles in the mountains they got hammered....was stictly an elevation thing.

Don't quite get it Tyler.  We pray for snow on opening day and during deer season in the U.P.    Snow means the deer have to move around searching for food and increases the chances for a kill, not to mention tracking a deer if necessary.

Last night...the windscreen was thick over with ice, and the roads were dangerously slippery.  I hate that more than snow.

Yes, I thought it would make it easier too. Especially tracking.

Come on out to AZ, Brk. We've had warmer than usual temps for this time of year.
Been in the 90's, but it should be in the 80's,  lol.
It's nice and cool in the early am and evening.
 
Beautiful days ahead, and I wouldn't mind a little snow myself.   >:D

Haven't seen any yet, and who knows here in Virginia?  Last year I think we had one day of good snow and the rest of the winter was sunny and warm.  I can't stand that.  I love a good winter with plenty of snow and cold weather.  But Virginia, or at least the part I live in , is like that.  It can be warm and sunny one minute and then breezy and nasty the next.

Post by: Brkeatr on November 03, 2008, 02:36:01 PM
Well, all the snow is pretty much gone here already although there is a little left in the mountains and deer season starts on the 15th so I don't think we will have any snow left unless it snows again.... :-\
