Not sure how far north you are but I am guessing you win the prize on the forum for the longest winters in a year.

That's nuts. We had some good hail and thunder at home last night, but 30 miles away at work the weather was pleasant.

Re: %&*($#%$ SNOW!!!!
This was about an hour later. I got a call at 11pm from the wife who was at a friends house. She couldn’t make it home with summer tires on so I had to go get her in the truck. I’ll post a video of it in a bit, trees bent to the ground .

Re: %&*($#%$ SNOW!!!!
Probably wouldn't have been so bad if you didn't get the freezing rain along with it.

Re: %&*($#%$ SNOW!!!!
we had a May long weekend snow gotta be 30 years ago now...spent the weekend canoeing the N. Saskatchewan river and we were completely BBQ'd the whole weekend... Our tans were quite a contrast to THREE FEET that landed overnight to the Monday, when we stumbled outside in the morning.
Pretty much destroyed all the trees and the sun was so hot the next day it melted all of it gone, like it never happened.

Re: %&*($#%$ SNOW!!!!
Had our first light dusting of snow last night, currently 35 F.
Re: %&*($#%$ SNOW!!!!
Its been 70's and droughty here... in middle Colorado, in November. I had to water the grass FFS. A few feet of snow later on in the week would be a blessing, especially since I am headed to Mexico through Christmas

Re: %&*($#%$ SNOW!!!!
They are predicting snow today and the next three days then on Monday they are predicting temperatures in the single digits for 3 days.

Perfect timing. After 230, I'm off until after the new year with nothing to do but mash a new whiskey.

Re: %&*($#%$ SNOW!!!!

I swear I get addicted to that smell.Deplorable wrote: ↑Thu Dec 23, 2021 10:56 amPerfect timing. After 230, I'm off until after the new year with nothing to do but mash a new whiskey.
Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.

Yep. I'll be up early tomorrow grinding grains I put off all week.
21% Rye whiskey mash with T58 yeast to accentuate the spicy rye flavors.

Re: %&*($#%$ SNOW!!!!
It's not that bad here yet. Not even close. Supposed to be getting to 16 degrees here in a couple of days. I understand the wood pile problem though. I underestimated what we'd need for the week so after 10 hours at work I got home, put my headlamp on my head and spent some time at the wood pile with the chainsaw. That'll teach me to be lazy on the weekends. Lol I get off work early tomorrow and I'll have a couple hours before the sun goes down. Gonna try to catch up before Christmas!! I've got 2 fireplaces in my house. One is a double door hog out in the living room, and a single door with a catalytic converter on it in the bedroom. Stay warm!!
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

Re: %&*($#%$ SNOW!!!!
Just having -15F outside... and having fun, actually. This was the normal winter temperature in my childhood. Now more and more often we face puddles, "snotty" wind and thawed patches with dead grass. So, -20-30C is way much better than icy rains, imo. And lotta snow is not bad, too. The ancestors were sayin that snowy winter is to a big harvest, innit?

The prediction was snow two days ago but it is coming down hard now so it looks like we will have a white Christmas.
Re: %&*($#%$ SNOW!!!!
68 and the hot tub was 103. Nice breeze, too. Vlagavulvin, been there in Jan. You can keep it.

No snow yet on the mainland interior at 750 elevation. Currently 35° and light rain at my location. Merry Christmas!

Re: %&*($#%$ SNOW!!!!
We are sitting at over 5” and it has slowed down a bit but continues to pick up. Our power has also flickered off and on twice today.
