Everyone up here is expecting a lot of snow with how wet it has been all summer. Highs by the end of the week expected to be in the mid 40's, lows in the low to mid 30's. Looks like I may have to turn on the tank and drain pipe heaters . We were planning on leaving on the 1st and I strung it out to the 7th. Might have to rethink that one. Suppose to have showers for 4 days in a row starting on Saturday. .

Poor guy nice and warm out in the western United States!

 

[fest3er]

Yup. Still 80s and 90s days down here in SWVA. But nights are getting a mite chilly, down to mid 60s.

So Minot appears to be chilly this morning. Take note of the feels like.

Yesterday I worked on the brakes of my truck in a t-shirt, 80 degrees. This morning it is 39 and raining. 50 miles north of me is snow and sleet. Gotta love TX weather.

0° here Friday night. Today it’s 51°.

This type of weather makes many Mainers come down with the flu or a cold.

Brisk All Day Teens in the AM High was 27* with a wind made it crisp 12/10/19

 

[jhenderson]

Here it was 60 degrees and rain yesterday and today(3 inches) with low 20s and snow predicted by 4am tomorrow. Plowing, if necessary, won’t be pretty.

Last year I just used the tractor pulling a chain drag harrow with a tractor rear tire chained to it. It left enough snow on the gravel drive to get traction & break up the ice below. We don't get a horrendous amount of snow, been here 3 winters the most at one time has only been 10 inches pond is getting ice forming

Pond hockey for Christmas ? Now you’re talking.

 

[DavidC]

-13 in Minot this morning, 13 above at Loring. All WAY to cold for my old bones.

Pond hockey for Christmas ? Now you’re talking.

I've seen folks out on frozen retainment ponds I'm not buying it, Ive also rounded a corner and was stopped by sheriff deputies because the EMS were fishing around for the body that fell through. It gets cold here but NOT THAT COLD the day to day temperature swings ANYTIME of the year are MASSIVE. That being said my Amish Pard told me that our pond is not a manmade retainment pond its natural so the water temp is much lower , I'LL TAKE HIS WORD FOR IT & STAY OFF OF IT.

A balmy -12 here in the interior of a Alaska this am......and dropping to -30ish by tomorrow morning.

My BIL had 7 degrees in PA this morning. It's supposed to warm up by the time we get there for Christmas.

It better warm up or you may suffer when you get there..

8° here and the wind is whipping....

 

[jhenderson]

8 above here at 6am. Wind 15G25 all day. It’s all the way up to 15 now. All this is on top of 3/8ths of an inch of ice from a freezing rain storm 2 days ago. It took about 45 minutes to clear the machine windows Tuesday am. All the pine regeneration we’re trying to encourage is bent over and susceptible to breakage with the ice still encasing it. Im going in tomorrow and see if I can amount to something.

Looks like this is the winter of the pop snowstorm..or squall surprise!!

About the third time this winter for a sudden blast of snow right outta nowhere.
