Re: First snow of the season

Second SNOW!!!

We got a little dusting but with wind gusts reaching 75mph there is barely a dusting:(

It's a cool 32 but feels like 25

Re: First snow of the season

The wind is hard to take..not the cold..
P.S. 89 feels like 90...not bad!

Re: First snow of the season

yay more snow! so far just a dusting but the night is young! I already have all my boards and skis upstairs ready for their wax and tune but I'm in a lazy mood and I don't have the beer SCajin is holding to help make the night more interesting.

Re: First snow of the season

Re: First snow of the season

They are calling for 3 inches in Denver which should mean more up here but who knows with them, they are horribly wrong most of the time. The last 3 foot storm last year they didn't even know was coming until it hit us! I love those surprise! Maybe they should just stop reporting the weather... Would save air time, and lots of money;) What do they do in FL? Make a recording for the summer and repeat it? Sunny, hot, and humid, what else could they report?! jk

It's snowing now! 29 out side - 56 inside. When I get home from a group walk and a run, in the snow, I will start a fire. It will bring it up to an uncomfortable 80+ inside.

Re: First snow of the season

Well if you live in the mountains... one side is like desert and the other is fertile valley. When these air masses converge it makes for unpredictable weather.. just like lake front weather up in the great lake areas. Storms pop up out of no where. Same reason you have cloud bursts in the summer that causes flooding.

Group Walk? You need a group to walk?

Re: First snow of the season

A breezy (not really) 93 here with a wonderful heat index (not really) of only 102. Time now (it gets hotter later) is 3:48 pm...Yeah and we have some systems (that is what they call them) brewing...I call them almost hurricanes!

Re: First snow of the season

I have a pet service business so I do quite a bit of dog walks. It's more economical for the owners to have their dogs walk in a group. They get a longer walk for less cost, and the dogs get to socialize which is very important, and I get more cash than I would a private walk. Everyone is happy;)

I have a few courses regarding weather and avalanche as I do a lot of backcountry skiing and a few heli-ski tours and teach snowboarding and skiing - I have a client that hires me as a heli-guide twice a year so I need to know all about the weather and avalanche reading. You are absolutely right Karen! I live right where the chinook starts before it hits the valley. In the winter, 6 mile south of us, the jet stream is the closest to Earth. Just a fact but it doesn't really influence much. Most storms here are easy to predict because the conditions need to be perfect with a Low coming from NM and a High from UT/WY or it will miss us because of the geography of this location.

It's starting to dump harder now! this group walk and run is going to be fun! I can't believe I need my spikes in October!

That's funny SChajin, seems global warming is a bit confused. We are getting record cold days while it seems it only gets worse for you. This year was the first time in recoded history that it didn't reach 90 in NY!

Re: First snow of the season

We barely broke 2 inches but on the plus side, two ski resorts, A-Basin and Loveland opened up today!

Re: First snow of the season

We barely broke 100 today but on the plus side.....It hit a heat index of only 103 today!

Re: First snow of the season

It snowed a little last night (about 1.5 inches) but it also reached 11! Now it's 21 but feels like -10 with the winds. Way too cold for Oct.

it's crazy that the difference between here and FL it 90 degrees, a temp that never even reached that high up here...

The old timers are saying this is how winters use to be around here so we are expecting a really good snow season but cold... If the cold gets to well below 0 for about 7-10 days it will kill all the pine beetles that are destroying the woods and slowly making their way here. Dillion/Silverton are completely brown!

Hello Guys,

Oh yes, autumn is passing by and winter chills are already felt here in Finland (although it is still autumn season).

On some areas, roads are having what we call black ice which is very dangerous for the traffic. A few accidents happened already.

We have changed into spiked tyres for safety.

Some snow in Lapland already even though very minimal up to now.

I like winter because the surroundings looks beautiful dressed in white (snow). By the way we are using degrees centigrade here so it could be very cool when it is on the minus, let's say -20. One could feel like burning on the face already.

Re: First snow of the season

We have been using F but if you'd like to share your extreme temps in C just let us know so some of us won't get confused:)

Re: First snow of the season
