Loring Winter and so it begins

That's to much for this old dog. Get a little wind and that number plummets.

Hard to get a shot of that thermometer on the mirror, Yukon does not ride like Hoopty... interior plastic at -5 was making quite a noise as well until it finally warmed up a bit.....

Had to bring the Yukon as I have a new TV to pick up this afternoon at Best Buy.....see other story....

Lake was really moaning and making ice last night, I don't know if I can get an audio recording of that or not....really pretty cool to listen to....

Sounds like Whales mating....

Get your mind out of the gutter. They were cuddling

It's when you are on the ice, and you hear that "clap of thunder" sound that your wheels start turning...

Or the water starts flying, that gets me every time.....

Had to put on a long sleeved shirt today...

 

[DHayden]

I hope you have some of that stew/soup left, I wouldnt even be going outside

 

[mwilson]

Kinda pretty when it’s cold though...

 

[DavidC]

Yeah, pretty as long as I see it here or on TV. No real life experience needed

The dry road makes a big difference.

Personally we like the 4 seasons, In calif there's only 2, Decennt OR HOT AS HADES. In Montana Spring and Summer were VERY SHORT in the mountains, fall & winter were long and cold to VERY COLD. In Indiana there are 4 full seasons all though this fall our second here was pretty short, the winter hasn't been to bad at all, lowest temp we've seen thus far is 10* & only in the AM warming to the 20's during the day, snow only inch then melts and an inch and again melts off.

Went to Portland Store today, 25° there. Felt like a heat wave!!

Now heading back to the frozen tundra.

Just saw a video of Caribou on the Weather channel. They are getting hammered with wind and snow and there is PLENTY on the ground.

We got about a foot, been outside all morning cleaning up. Had to leave Hoopty Deux down to the new place last night, simply would not climb the hill on our road. Was a nasty slippery mess...

Had to have our daughter haul us home in a FORD, and don’t think for a minute that I’m not getting dissed over that....even getting grief from my Canadian friends, daughter must have run her phone battery flat just telling everyone....

 

[mwilson]

Took a couple days off to relax, but I guess it simply amounts to shoveling a different material....

 

[mwilson]

Brrr!!

Notice how far the Honda will blow the snow by it stuck to the trees!!
