Here in Northeast Nebraska we are about to get blasted with a couple inches of white and NW winds of 40+mph. Wind chills will exceed 40 below. Wish I didn't need to keep 5 acres of greenhouses warm! About half of next years crop is started already. Home is cozy with a woodstove and plenty of dry wood. Been a while since we had that kind of a 'BLAST'! hc18flyer
The cold air is supposed to get down to us on Christmas day forecast to be 19 with a high of 31, we will see. We in NW FL have four seasons, they can occur all in one week and if you look quick, a bit of snow on occasion.

Hc18flyer, what do you use for heat in your green houses? I didn't ever consider that plants were started this early, even in a southern state like NebraskaI'm a couple hundred miles north of you, and it really started blowing early afternoon, and -10 right now.
I hope everyone has power through this one.
Talking about snow earlier in the week due to that storm sweeping across the north but it turns out to not be dipping far enough south. Cold weather in the teens nights and 30's days Friday through Sunday. It always seems colder with no snow on the ground for some reason.

Snow blowing sideways and temp dropping fast here, in SW Wis. Winter is here and the older I get, I don't like!
Just saw a few flurries and wind is blowing hard around the cowtown area. Guess I didn't move far enough south. I cannot stand cold weather.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
One of my friends at Olney, Mt. had minus 50 this morning. Yesterday at Dillion, Mt., temperature dropped 26 degrees in three minutes!
I've had 32" of snow before winter actually got here.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Affirmative. About to be hammered by 60+ mph winds and blizzard conditions, expected up to 2'. Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Just trudged several miles, beautiful so far but definitely bourbon and woodfire weather coming on.

There is snow flurries in Dallas, but out here it's just windy and colder than a pawn broker's heart.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
Nothing like sitting at camp on the porch with the glass front woodstove going, snowing hard across the frozen pond and watching it through the windows sipping on Jager. Boy, do I miss that quiet miles from anyone with no power and not a sound but the hiss of the snow

Just raining here. But it will get interesting on the backside of it.
Propane, Lots of propane!Hc18flyer, what do you use for heat in your green houses? I didn't ever consider that plants were started this early, even in a southern state like Nebraska

Yeh, we got it, but our gun laws are better than yours.
It's coming down hard here in Central Indiana, started about hour ago, driveway covered.

Anyone know if it's snowing in Santa, Michigan?
Last night it was -58 degrees with the wind chill an of course we got more snow.
Just now turned from rain to snow and the wind is kicking up
I’ve heard about the snow storm hitting the US. Reminds me when I was a kid in Pennsylvania. Back then we had real winters, not what folks are used to today.
