Blizzard this afternoon.lol. We haven’t had one since late Friday through Saturday morning,then it was nice late Saturday early this morning,now we’re in another one until 9pm lol. 1 degree N wind 38 G 43 -30 windshield…
Planned on an over nighter at the fishing shanty this weekend but Mother Nature decided otherwise;) Oh well theres always next weekend.
Off and on Flurries for 2 days, and bitter cold for here. Started at 4 degrees mean air this morning but unto 35* right now and headed south again...
They called for snow here but so far nothing but some rain.
No snow thankfully, just colder than a polar bear
1 below with wind chill of 14 below, here in NC Minnesota. Left to head to Sioux Falls this morning but turned around because of the near blizzard conditions.
Yea I see I29 from Fargo to Grand Forks is now open but still closed from Grand Forks to Canada….Quote:

My idea of winter being 30 degrees and a couple inches of fluff for the deer opener has been shot squarely in the kiester.
When I was traveling the country calling on Gun Shop & Sporting Goods Stores I traveled all across everyone's states posted and more. I would leave the vehicle at whatever airport I was close to and fly home for the weekend. The car would stay out for months before I worked it back home. So understand this, I grew up in New Orleans and when y'all got hit with the snow and ice like now I just went in a different direction. Nothing but Respect here for how Y'all can live and especially Drive in that mess. Stay Warm!
My first Permanent Party assignment after AIT was Germany. 1st infantry FWD Headquarters in Goppingen, between Stuttgart and Muchin, (Munich). I thought I could drive about anything till then. Snow packed ice, 2-1/2 ton truck and a 500 gallon water trailer with a mind of it's own. slicker than owl doo doo. Got out of the service and swore I wouldn't live above I-40, because I had enough of the snow. Then realized It snows everywhere, even Laredo...so here I am in the vast frozen mess every winter. Currently 14* feeling like 2*. heat bill through the roof trying to keep the trailer house at 70*...I don't know how you all manage further up north. My hats off to ya...Quote:

Pappy's homestead is looking at 6-15" of snow over the weekend ... below freezing daytime temps until next month ... and the possibility of sleet/ice along with the snow. :bash
And I'ma tell ya'll what ... that dang rodent sees his shadow next month, I'll personally bust a cap in ALL his KY cousins that I can find. :Rofl
Minus 26 below this morning, wind chill of -48 last night. Planning a fishing outing on Wednesday with a few guys, mostly fishing outside doing some hole hopping. Hopefully it warms up by then.
Morning everyone...currently 6* with a wind chill of -9* Light dry snow with approx. 1 inch on the ground, and 7" to 13" over the week-end. Supposed to stay around for several days. Just hope this trailer park does something with the streets like last year. Been here almost 8 years now and last year was the first year they cleaned them. Living on this slight hill is not fun in the winter...fresh snow equals some traction, packed snow equals ICE and no traction...
So far so good here. But they are still forecasting two and three quarters of an inch ice today. Hope they miss that!

My bride and I and the 2 dogs are packing and going out to the wheel house now, not a overnighter though…I can only not fish for so long and 2 weeks and 1 day is to long it’s -13 ;)
Every where I can access has ice. to thick to just fish, and to thin for me to venture out on...Quote:

We normally don’t have snow-covered roads like we had 5 years ago—we just go straight to ice. From the times that I’d travel up north for training or test vehicle reviews, I learned that the municipalities up north get more snow that is drivable and have the resources to prep the roads to keep them more drivable—snow tires also help. Down here, a set of snow tires for my truck would nearly dry rot in my garage before I’d get a chance to use them a second time.
We get some amount of snow/ ice every year. I grew up out west in the desert. Learned to try and guide a big heavy truck in winter in Southern Germany, only a couple hours from the Swiss Alps. It's not my ability that scares me,, it's the lack of others who drive in this stuff like it's a summers day that scares the be-geezers out of me...Stay warm, stay safe ya-all!!!
Nothing major around here .... yet. Snow falling but flakes are tiny & even the grass isn't covered, so far. (0.3")
13* (feels like -2*) under a 14mph ENE wind.
Forecast is snow until 3am - wintry mix til 8am - freezing rain for a couple of hours - back to wintry mix til 4pm Sunday - then more snow til 9pm :popcorn
17 currently in north Texas, some have well over 6 inches of snow on the ground, we have about 2 or 3 at the house .
Supposed to keep snowing until early morning…..
Temps to settle around 8 or so by sunrise ….
Right chilly for sure in these parts
Power went out at four am, trees breaking outside sounds like a war zone. And the cold we’ve got coming, this is gonna be a mess.

Buckle down and hang in there. Stay safe and warm.
Times like these calls for a woodstove. heat and a way to cook if the power goes out. I have a Coleman propane stove, several small bottles and a big 10lb bottle. Generator to keep the fridge and space heater going...At 4am it was 3* on the thermometer. currently 5* with windchill of -14. We got 4" over night, (lightly falling fluffy dry snow, I cleared the deck last night before heading to bed), then again this morning...the owners hasn't done nothing with the roads in the trailer park/ Mobile Home Park yet...May not at all. Would be nice if they at least did the hilly parts at least. When this snow gets packed, these little hills become impassable for days...
We don’t have any real accumulation of snow in Central MS yet because the temp has been above freezing——still 34*F right now. We do have a tad of snow or sleet that hasn’t melted away from the rain that he had all morning, although I’m seeing accumulation of ice hanging on shrubs and structures not attached to the ground.

We got power and water back Monday afternoon. A whole bunch close around us are not so lucky. My Mom two and a half miles down, nobody knows when it’ll be back on.

It has melted off a bunch by time of this picture
Mom has power now yay! I can’t name them all, but many thanks to all the help from other counties linemen who came and pitched in - saw at least three different ones in my neighborhood. We wouldn’t be nearly this far along without them!Quote:

Trust me, there's no shortage of idiot drivers here in Minnesota. Every fall we get a little fluff overnight in late October or early November, and by fluff I mean less than an inch and a half, and the following morning the sheriffs depts and highway patrols are busy fetching these high velocity fools out of ditches lasting all day. With all the 4 wheel drives and all wheel drives on the road the people think they're invincible in the snow or on slick surfaces and all those wheels moving under power only blow the driver's support system all to heck once that vehicle begins to lose traction or begins to slip and they take the ditch dive deep enough they cannot drive out. And this is on flat land. Hills and curves just compound the poor driving.Quote:

Everyone's in such a fuming hurry today and figures the type of drive in the vehicle they have will handle anything mother nature tosses their way. I honestly think that drivers between 18 and fifty should have to take and pass two exams before they can drive in the winter EVERY year. First to understand that THEY are responsible for proper driving technique, not the vehicle. Second, if they cannot change their own flat tire, they cannot drive until they know how to and can.
Reached 78 degrees here today. I sighted in my turkey gun.
Would have gone fishing except my grandson has my boat for the weekend for a high school fishing tourney.
Not to brag, but the next week has highs in the 70's. That's a bit unusual even for us in E. Texas.
