It could be worse. (And will be)

The Rainmaker
Our most recent introduction to our forecast.

Heavy snow is falling in the Dakotas and Montana, but Iowa should see only cold weather tonight as lows fall into the 30s.

They are actually predicting a low of 29 degrees Friday morning.

And people thought I was crazy for taking the boats out so early. Ever winterize a boat in a snow/sleet storm? I have.

Snow has already attacked me here. :down:
See Steve! You don't gotta live in the North Pole to have snow this early!
 
mid 60's for the weekend in south western ontario, but NO yet. thank god. still more biking weather!! :punk:

p.s. thanks for rubbing it in nora. :lol: :lol:
 
Sorry to hear that Charles, We've still been in the 80's and now down to the 70's, but the 60's will be here this weekend.
I don't want to think about snow for another few months.

"J"
 
Whoa, sorry to hear about that. Time to get those jackets out. It was about 92 here in L.A. Our weathers' been weird lately but still nice.
 
For those that live in places that get snow this early...why do you live there? I just don't understand why you would want it to be cold just about all year round. Snow is cool when it SNOWS, I mean like a foot or more one time during the winter but snow just after the first week of October?!!? I mean if you like it, all the power to you!

Heat wave! :)
The predicted high in Iowa for today is 11 degrees celsius, (52f)

I think it's that Global Warming the scientists are always talking about.

I shouldn't have spoken. Overcast and cool here, but no frost.

We think the same thing about the people that live in the South East and put up with the hurricanes and tropical storms, the people in the South that put up with the 110 degree heat, the people in the West that put up with the mudslides and earthquakes. Not to mention the areas with the brushfires.
We did consider relocating at one time, but I don't think trading one uncomfortable condition for another would work for me. I think every part of the country has its good/bad points and whatever you get used to seems to work out for most of us. Besides, if we had good weather all the time, what would we complain about? :)

Charles
 
It's weird, I saw a sign downtown that said 91F, but 4 hours northwest of us they got three and half feet of snow. Go high pressure. :)

Being surrounded by the ocean, do you get a lot of snow? I know that being near the Great Lakes seems to contribute to lots of snowfall, but does the saltwater create the same problems? Lots of fog?

Charles
 
Oh my gosh! I'm not ready for this!!!!

KC is bad enough in Jan-Feb, but you guys "way narth" have to put up with snow, ice, sleet, etc. for about 6 months or more.....

Here's some advice - - -

1. Tie a snow shovel to the top of your car.
2. Start driving south.
3. When someone says "What's that?", that's where you're going to live.

Problem solved.... :ohmy:
 
I can see what you're talking about south being related to hurricanes and the heat and the west being related to mudslides and earthquakes. Thats why I like where I live in Myrtle Beach, SC. It gets hot but not unbearably hot, hurricanes come through but not like they do in the gulf **crosses fingers that never happens** and it doesn't get very cold in the winter with all the snow. I guess once you liver somewhere for a while you know what to expect and you get used to it.

Never been to Myrtle Beach... but I've heard nothing but good things.

Any city with the name "BEACH" in it has to be good!!! :lol:
 
Isn't that one of those places that has all the women running around in Bikinis?
How could you live in a place like that?
I couldn't live there, my old heart wouldn't take it. :biggrin:
