Damn drought! Damn global warming!
(Notice how silent scammer al gore has been?)
SW Michigan where I live, only got 2 inches over 4 days. It’s still on the ground because it’s been cloudy for a week and usually is most of winter. It’s currently 28 degrees.
But north of here they got dumped on. The northern part of the lower peninsula got slammed like the UP usually does.
Here’s a joyful and hearty Neener! from Sarasota County FL.
You can return the favor next hurricane season!
It prolly put out the Lake Erie fire.
the higher ground south of Erie PA, places like Edinboro and Waterford and the hills where my first wife was from, would easily get a foot more snow than Erie. Made for some fun Christmas trips.
Bring It, Mother Nature
I thought the predictions were that by now there would be no more snow? Maybe next year.
@ Uncle Al
it’s swept the beaches (and the early-season returnees have decided to remain up North – for the moment) clean here onn the Keys
I’m in SE Michigan and despite the cold I decided to ride my motorcycle to pick up some groceries. Came out to a hard steady snow that resembled the foam in a bean bag chair.
Thought about my days when I used to ice race motorcycles in the winter. Wasn’t nearly as frightening without the cars and trucks sliding all over.
Think it’s time to put the bike on the battery tender for the winter.
68 degrees here in Scottsdale.
Zonga – Hey now! That wuz the Cuyahoga river back in ’69.
I know. I used to BBQ over it!
A few years ago, Buffalo had no snow one winter. This was blamed on the “Lake Effect” caused by “Climate Change.” The next year Buffalo had a record amount of snowfall. This was blamed on “The Lake Effect” caused by “Climate Change.”
Yesterday while I was deer hunting in my tree stand in Fredneck County, MD it was flurrying on-and-off as heavy clouds drifted by. The temps were in the low 20’s all day.
I know…kind of mild for you northerners, but that’s damned cold for November in the people’s republic of MD.
PS – I got a doe. Chalk another one up for my Remington 760 Gamemaster 30-06 with Bushnell scope.
Talked to my brother Sat. Over 2 feet on the ground at that point. He is stuck for days. Live right on Lake Erie very NE Ohio. He would like to see some globul warming about now.
Hi, Claudia! I’m in that north. Got 6 or 7 inches.
My mom lived in Buffalo in the early 1970s. She has a pic of her house buried up to the eaves in snow. The snowfall was 8 – 10 feet in one storm.
Damn CO2.
Yep. And Josh Allen & the Buffalo Bills beat the CRAP out of those Softie San Fran Shitco 69’ers in another Snow Bowl!
We haven’t received more than a skiff of snow in the Inland Empire region of eastern Washington and N. Idaho yet except in the local mountains where all the ski resorts have opened early this year for ski season. However, one of the last times this happened in Dec. 2008 a week before Christmas we had a snowpocalypse with over 3 ft. of snow in a 36-hr. period that pretty much shut everything down for a few days to clear all the snow on the ground, it continued into early Jan. 2009 so we’re probably due for a major snowfall this year. The winter of 1968-69 when I learned to drive was the worst for snow and extreme cold. We had at least 5-6 ft. of snow on the ground from Dec. 68 to almost Mother’s Day in May 1969 when it finally melted. And in Jan. 69 the temperature never got above zero for most of that January including down to 20 and 30 degrees below zero at times, we froze our asses off that Jan. It was great for sledding that year, ski jogging behind cars, infamous snowball fights amongst the neighborhood boys, building a snowman around a fire hydrant across the street from my house to get idiots to try and knock it down, pelting snowballs at cars driving by on 29th Ave. until we plastered a guy whose window was open and chased us yelling at us “you’d better run kids, he wouldn’t have caught us except for one of the neighborhood finks told on us. A great time was had by all when I was 15 and 16 years old. Now at almost 72 I dread winter and wish it would just go away never knowing what kind of winter that we’ll have from year to year.
On one of the most beautiful extremely cold days (it was at least 15 to 20 degrees below zero) on a Saturday when the sun was out under bright blue skies with no clouds all the neighborhood boys when we were all 16 and 17 years old got together at upper Manito parks playground to play football in the cold and snow. We had a blast for about an hr. or so wearing cotton high top Converse shoes, you were OK if you kept running and moving but eventually it got too cold, so we quit after about an hr. or so. Teenage boys have no common sense to have done this but years later many of us still remember that day.
