The city Yankees are whining again. Meanwhile everyone else has been doing chores and carrying on as normal as possible.

NBc was trying to Dramatize the "monster storm"

Then a bright yellow Porsche zipped up the street without struggling at all.

Well, it varies by location, but on the Pacific coast it IS a weird winter. Wed morning I had 13" of snow on the level, this time of year normally that should last for a couple of weeks...nope, thermometer popped up to 48 degrees and the wind blew for 24 hours... snow gone. Never saw that before. Last summer, I think we went around a hundred days without a drop of rain.

Shovel the chit and go about your day.
Blizzard of 78 was notable
All else has been just winter

We are looking at a week of single digit nights. It's getting real.

been pretty mild so far, hate the rain and ice covered with snow

Beer stored on the porch this time of year ideal.

I sure wish we would get 13" of snow.

4" total maybe over two days last week, then it was almost all gone by day three.

45F yesterday, 54F on the recorder for today, 47F presently. 20+ mph winds with higher ones expected.............from the south.

If we don't get some real moisture soon, our extreme drought will move to exceptional by June I bet.

It has been the mildest Winter I have ever seen here. Raining today, wtf, 12" of snow on the ground, has not been cold at all, been weird.

I debated wearing shorts today.

Sunny. Sixties today. Early bird trees getting buds on them

Pretty normal temps around here. Got about 15" of snow on the ground. A bit worried, as we did not have a white Christmas. About 92% or average snow pack at the moment. Hope it keeps coming.

Any weather that leaves your house inhabitable ain't very bad.

Local National Weather Service office went full retard this moring. Issued a Winter Storm Warning (Red Alert) for 1 - 3" (INCHES) of snow. In frickin' coastal Alaska.

Panic and run in circles. If we get cold, that's just a heavy frost.

Yep and a call for minus 70 with wind chill, in Fairbanks tomorrow!

80 on Thursday.

May I assume you're not in Atlanta, which apparently can be shut down by a 1/2" of snow?

Hey, I've seen that guy.


and is cousins, all over the country.

I guess middle Georgia gets a lot of 1’ to 3’ snowstorms.

OP seems pretty knowledgeable.

Time to break out the bug. Best snow machine this side of a Polaris.

72° in EP today.

I got curious and checked Havre MT up on the Hi Line.

66 F in Havre right now.

67 F where I’m at in San Antonio.

‘Course, lows next week are predicted to be in the 40’s here, -15 in Havre.

I have a son in Seattle. He says that there 2" of snow can be a disaster because of the hills. Nobody has snow tires and most can't drive in it. They have wrecks everywhere.

54F here yesterday Birdie, at elevation, in February. Rain last night, Snow this afternoon perhaps.

Not negatives, but temps in the low teens by Wed night.

Been a bit of a weird one here for sure.

Bet it pizzes 'em off not being able to control the weather. Unlike the elections!

It was 59 fricken' sunny and calm degrees here this afternoon.


Unreal, beyond nice for the 2nd of February in northeast Montana.

Too nice, getting a little dusty...



We sorted off a few more replacement heifers and they were panting.


I was shedding clothes!

Of course is the forecast for my golf game.

The part that gets me is when the weatherman tells everyone to bring their pets in the house tonite because it's going to dip below freezing. Pzzzzzzztttttttttt...........guess what weatherman, animals that live outside are used to the weather. I've seen my farm dogs sleep out on the snow, in zero weather.

I don't want a pet that I have to shelter from the weather..............period.

Guys are already bitching about the temps next week. They say single digits up to maybe 20. I was on a weather website from back home and showed them AK's predicted windchills. They shut up.

One guy made me laugh, he said no wonder we got that place for so cheap.

It depends on the weather.



See Joel's post above on windchill.



Windchill is a nasty thing.

Yep, I remember your cats having a heat lamp. My cat aint so lucky...but he's set up pretty good for winter. Shed, box spring, mattress and cat bed on top. He be just fine.

Not cold here. Dunno the temp. Low forties...high thirties...maybe. Cat is in my kid's room sleeping on the bed as he games. Coondog is in her house with straw. All good.

That's tropical, man.

Winter has been brutal here lately, 55F today.........we shall soldier on, and not give up.

We got 18" maybe 20" a bit north of Boston last night. I'd appreciate a quick lesson on proper etiquette as far as Yankee whining, if possible. Want to make sure I conform to proper standards and all. TIA.

Maybe it is the End Times.....

Dunno if you can learn that! 🤣🤣

You were out looking for ducks anydamnway!

I ran some chores in the old Mach 1 today and had the twin electric fans turn on a few times at stop lights.

We're getting close......grin

We've had more frosty mornings this winter than I can ever remember. We dont have a lot of freezing weather like you nawthern fellers do. However we do get into the 20's a few times each winter. For the past several years, 20 frosty mornings a winter has been about normal.... not this year. We've had at least twice that many, maybe more. Rain has been about normal, even had a little snow, one day.

Blizzard warning for Iowa later today.
