Winter is here!

Well, our family's small (50 by 40 foot) pond is frozen over. Ok, ok, so we are at 8000 feet in the Rockies and it is on the north facing slope but hey. Sure came early this year.



Mornings are about 20-30 degrees at 7-8 am. This week has been colder at about 50-60 degrees. I am not really looking forward to the winter. I love hearing my straight pipe with all the windows open!

Have you noticed the truck seems to have more power in the cool air too.

Just turn on the heater full blast and keep the windows open. I did that quite alot with my CTD... and I'm in WI. Co-workers would look at me and think I'd lost my mind. Heck no... I just had a good heater.



just had to rib a bit... when it went -5 or lower... my windows were closed then... especially when going 60+ mph. I love winter... . nights are even better... . can hear things clear as a bell and the truck sounded sweet then. (so did the trains... but that's another story)

It's starting getting cold here too.

It was "only" 57 this morning when I took my daughter to school. I almost went back in the house for my jacket.

Nice clear 83 deg here, supposed to dip down to 77 tomarrow. 2 years ago in Washington State it had already snowed by now.

A couple of days ago, all the peaks around me were white. Gawd it was a beautiful sight driving to work in the AM! A good part of it has evaporated, but we do have snow on some that will be here till... (?) Have had snow up here in these thar hills since about a month ago. Predicting more this Thursday.

I'm ready for snow and winter. Bring it on... . !

Today Yakima only made it to 50 and set a record for the lowest High temperature. Late September and early October it was nothing but 80s and a few 90s but it finally cooled way off. Got some much needed rain today. I might be able to put the sprinkler away now. Watering by hand every summer sure is a PITB!
