Couldn't do it. It's -1 here not counting windchill and I didn't even bother to shovel the driveway lol.

Today we are at 1.4F, Christmas day is forecast at 39.2F. That quite a swing in 3 days. -41F to +39.2. Not a ton of snow, maybe 18-20" but lots of drifts. Time to invest in windshield washer fluid and car washers. I think we share similar climates to Montana and North Dakota. Hot in the summer and very cold in the winter.

Cheers and Go Irish!!

It was -20 here in Montana just a few days ago. I had to dig my truck out of the snow in -14 weather and it flipping hurt. Tonight it's in the 40s. Feels almost like summer.

My Cali born, Texas living butt can’t even fathom -weather,… I think the coldest I’ve experienced is like mid to high teens…

Can confirm,….

Ugh

It is currently snowing on campus.......

Out of nowhere last week, we went from nice fall weather in the 50s & 60s to 17F and 5 inches of snow a day later. Winter didn't knock politely, introduce itself, and tiptoe in. It acted like it had a warrant to serve at 2am.

I know it is gonna be a shock to me system, but I am so looking forward to winter this year. Haven't been north of Charlotte for the last twelve years. Bring on the snow!

It's snowed the last few halloweens around here.

Still turned into mild winters every time tho.
Hopefully that holds true again. Winter golf is the bomb.

Happy Halloween from the Twin Cities.

Hopefully all the snow this season falls on your house and not on my golf course.

Better you than me. 26 this morning in Indy. It's usually in the 40's in the morning. Back to 60 this weekend. I think Mother Nature "F's" with us on purpose.

 

[Giddyup]

Damn. Deer stand from your deck.

 

[BleedingGold]

Reached the age and experienced enough extremes on both end to realize I can visit it and stay away for the most part. Don’t miss hunting deer in sub 0 temperatures or hunting turkey in 80 plus degrees.

As a native Southerner growing up in north Alabama where sub-zero temps and a lot of snow is something that happens only occasionally, I had some learning to do when I moved to the Great White North of the Dakotas and Montana. I loved that winter was usually dry and that I could go outside in a t-shirt when it was in the 20s. In Alabama where winter is very humid, that would be bitterly painful and you'd think you were dying from the cold in 20 seconds. That moist air sucks the heat out of you. I remember my first winter (2010) thinking the 3-6 inches of snow we got every week was absolutely beautiful. I felt like I was living in a postcard... until 5 or 6 months of it had me thinking, "JFC! Doesn't this ever end???"

OTOH, I was not really prepared for real cold. I'd never experienced anything below -6. My first winter up here I saw -22. A few years later it hit the lowest temp I've ever experienced, -34. I sort of had this misconception that once it got a little below 0, you couldn't really tell much difference if it got colder. Sort of like if you're soaked, you can't get any wetter. Yeah, not so much. I thought it was just a bit below 0 one night and had to go outside for 15 minutes. I had on a heavy coat and thin leather work gloves with no hat. No big deal. I love the cold. Before I finished and could go back inside, the tops of my ears had begun to really burn and my fingers were REALLY hurting. After I got inside I checked the temp and it was -27. The tops of both ears scabbed over and peeled a couple of times and it took more than 6 months for my fingers to stop feeling a little tingly. Frost bite is no joke.

Stepped out of the office last evening and the flurries were coming down. All my workmates were complaining about snow coming so early and I just stood in the middle of the parking lot with a smile on my face. Can somebody remind me what the snow dance is?

Worst Halloween in memory. My oldest is 13 and it has no snowed twice in her lifetime on Halloween but never rained.

Yesterday was garbage. Thank goodness for bourbon.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Woke up to an inch of snow on the ground here on the Illinois/Wisconsin boarder.

Tee time cancelled.

I'm in Johnsburg, IL.

There's still a quarter inch of snow in my back yard, but the sun is working hard.
Thursday and Friday tee times should be on.

Nice, I grew up in Crystal Lake.

Nice, I grew up in Crystal Lake.

I grew up in Ukrainian Village, Chicago.
We always had a boat on the chain and spent weekends in Fox lake.
Eventually I convinced my father to move up here.

Besides the army and a short five year stint in Texas and Southern California, I never left the area.

You must have had a traumatic childhood.

this summer here in Dallas was so hot it was offensive. In the low 50's this week and it feels amazing.

[Me2SouthBend]

Frost delay for tee times this morning. Chilly here in SE NC.

 

[GowerND11]

Woke up to 26 degrees here in NEPA. I was on the golf course Saturday with the temp teetering on 80 degrees.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

35 degrees with no snow and little wind.
Perfect fall golf weather!

Leaving shortly to get my 8 mile walk in.
