Winter is coming

[IBMobile]

I've lived in RI, MASS, and NH,    when the company I worked for wanted me to go to Bangor, Maine it was adios. I had enough of the New England winters. Since I've moved to the San Diego area 41 years ago, I've shoveled snow in my driveway ZERO times.

Just got in from a 6 mile run, in t-shirt and shorts on December 9 @ 60*+- when it should be 20's for highs here in ND. Worked up a good sweat too.

That was my brother in law after he moved to FL. 50 and below he had the down parka on and me in my shirt sleeves.

Change Minnesota to Idaho...

I don't wear a jacket till the temperature is in the 20's or lower.

If it ever got that cold here they would just pass another tax

Then you might get carbon credits for long idle times.

MoparMom, Do you have snow out your way yet?

[Mopar1973Man]

1 whole inch. If the weather warms up at all today it will be gone. It's 34*F right now so it won't take much and it will be gone. Still not enough to plough driveways. Ratz...

[Wild and Free]

We got 3-4 inches on Friday and then heavy fog all weekend which is just starting to lift and another 2-4 inches forecast for tues - wed and it will be coming with wind this time. So this is what we maybe in for. It is not an uncommon event with a small amount of snow with wind to make areas look like the pic below lol.

65 and rainy out here. Only one day below freezing for a low in the forecast for the next 10 days with a mix of rain and sunshine. Wont start my next job until sometime after new year. I think the cold weather is just waiting for me to start.

It's clear and 66 here today. We got a LOT of rain up river and it's on the rise.

What's the elevation... I forget.?

[Wild and Free]

I think where Mike lives he once posted he is in the 2500 foot elevation range, not too different than my area of ND. My house is @ roughly 2200 feet.

[Mopar1973Man]

2,800 feet. Bill was close. Pollock, ID is 2,500 feet.

Got about 1-2" last night. 

 

Looking at the forecast for my mothers for Christmas and it looks like it is going to be hovering right around freezing.......terrible news.

 

I need to figure out if my wife can handle -20 or -30 before I move her up north.  I would imagine a cold women would be about as happy as a wet cat  hahah

About 6" or more up in Denver.

Where you moving to??

[Me78569]

I am wanting to move to Western Montana in the Libby area. 

 

I need less people, more snow, and land.

this is what it looked like in the Dolores area this morning @ 7380 ft. elevation. about 14" in the last 24 hrs. not a big snowstorm by any means just a storm. When the clouds burn off we will be well below zero overnight, I didn't bother cleaning the dodge, just jumped in the old plow truck and went to work this morning

When it actually snows here people lose their damn minds. God forbid they attempt to use common sense and slow down. I don't have experience with the type of snowfall that yall' get, most I've had is a foot, but common sense says you don't accelerate through a snow covered turn at 60 mph unless you want to be in the ditch.

Cars everywhere this morning on the side of the road where they had slid off. Much of the roads hadn't been plowed, so I'm betting a bunch got sucked to the side when they went out of the tracks. I just hung out behind the 18 wheelers. Not worried about them sliding around much when they all have chains on!
