Expecting around 10" of snow next couple of days, and Sunday night's temp is expected to be 2F. |

All of Montana this morning was -30F or lower. We're expecting 10" between this afternoon and tomorow morning. The polar blast is really hitting the US. The Steelers/Bills football game has been postponed to Monday, but tonight's Chiefs/Dolphins game is going ahead, in Kansas City. They're expecting -20F wind chill during the game. Ouch! Fans in the stands better dress for Himalayan conditions, or risk frostbite. |

Looking at those winter photos above got me shivering. It has been many years since I have touched any snow. It is 50 degrees F here with light drizzle and that is too cold for me.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #22Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #21 @Lee that's really cold. I think that last time I was even close to those double digit negative temps, was during my skiing years up in Lake Tahoe. Thankfully, and the nice thing, I can leave the snow, cold temps and high winds up in the mountains and come home to milder temps in the 50's and 60's.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #21 @Richard230 I even gave up skiing quite a few years back because I hated the cold so much. I don't think I've been up to Tahoe in the winter time in a decade and still have no desire whatsoever to do so. Going to be partly cloudy and high of 60 over here in Livermore today.

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #23 @BEARR How does your wife like the colder temps, being she's from the great wine country of Livermore Ca?

Zitat von soch im Beitrag #28Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #23 She doesn't seem to mind the cold. We have a great trail for walking along a river just a hundred yards outside the door, with bald eagles during the winter, etc., and we walk virtually every day, so it's good. She had horrible allergies from all the Livermore grasses on the hills, and cold seems the "lesser of two evils". Personally, I think this winter storm system that's hitting the US will turn out to be the peak of winter, so it's all blue skies from here (wishful thinking, but...). |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #27Zitat von soch im Beitrag #25Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #22Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #21 Iowa has "alpine regions"? @soch...I gave up skiing, too, after years of Colorado skiing and Idaho skiing. It's a young person's sport...you don't care if it's cold or crowded, you just have all this energy for dealing with it, but at my age (76), being cold and waiting in lift lines is about as appealing as a colonoscopy. |
