Still haven’t been below freezing, no frost, long sleeve t shirt to hunt, volunteer corn and beans popping. Cut the grass yesterday in shorts and the fescue was so lush it kept bogging down the mower. It’s odd

For most of the years of my life, Halloween was always a COLD day. Several hard frosts had taken place by then, temps were usually in the low 40's, and kids bundled up for trick-or-treating. For several years now, it's been pretty warm, so my wife and I sit out in lawn chairs to greet the neighborhood kids as they show up in costumes. This year it was mid 70's and we were in T-shirts in the evening. As a kid, I wore long underwear under my costume, and gloves because it was so cold, my fingers hurt holding my treats bag. No more ..........
Wife's flowers are still making new blooms, neighbors are still mowing their lawns.

Said this in an earlier post but my dad said in the early 80’s they would snowmobile from November to March outside of the Twin cities. Bet people couldn’t find 2 weeks to sled there now

Here's one for ya - I just looked out the window to check out some birds in our Profusion crab apple tree. Without hunting too hard, I discovered 6 NEW blossoms starting to open up!!! Can't miss 'em - they're bright pinkish-red.
Probably because of changes in land use. There was a study a few years ago that showed that the human memory can only accurately recall weather up to 3 years past, then it was garbage. I know that first hand, but I can accurately recall the past several ENSO cycles because we always remember the big events. Flooding and drought is normal.
We already hit single digits for lows, but last year I had not even fired up the woodstove by this time. I must be paying too much in taxes.

We might get one inch. Haha
They are calling for somewhere between 5 and 8 “. Going to put some corn out now to see if i can bait some hogs up. They typically get on corn pretty good in snow but we have t had many around lately

Here I am in Northern Wisconsin, and may have 1/4" on the ground, maybe 4 inches year to date.Weather Service said somewhere between 14”-18”. It blew and drifted so bad it’s hard to tell exactly. Some spots in the yard have grass showing and some are 4’ deep.

This was a wild one. We don’t mind snow too much. Drive in it and the highway crews take care of it pretty well. This one closed every highway in the NE 1/4 of the state. I spent 6 hours in the skid loader cleaning me and my dad’s driveways and in front of the sheds and whatnot. It’s supposed to stay below freezing for another week or so. Gonna stick around for a while.

Old forge, NY is a major snowmobiling destination. They have had a trail system since 1965. Next time I am in town, I will take a picture of this wooden sign. IT displays snowfall totals each year. Getting small n smaller. Not a decent season since 2020-2021. 2019-2020 was better. Snowmobiling in decent conditions opening on december 9th until early march. I got a bad disc in my neck and only go up in good conditions. Sold my new snowmobile a 2020 skidoo 2up and keeping the 2010 polaris 2up till it blows up, 10,000 miles on it now. Haven't registered or insured it for this year yet. Might though. Not worth the pain if conditions suck.
Alot of snowmobile clubs closed up the past 10 years in NY outside of the adirondacks. Partly owners, but a good bit about usable season.

Yea we told the 2 youngest that it has never snowed this much in a single day since they were born. I really don't care to break that record any time soon.Weather Service said somewhere between 14”-18”. It blew and drifted so bad it’s hard to tell exactly. Some spots in the yard have grass showing and some are 4’ deep.

Since nobody has called you out on this, I felt it was my duty to respond ... my cousin Vinny will send you a P.O. Box address that you should send send $300 and your best shotgun to. OTHERWISE, this talk about hole shots and who's put together in what fashion may become more public in short order ....
just kidding .. couldn't resist!

I sat in on a presentation today at work about the tropicalization of coastal habitat in the Gulf of Mexico. Low winter temperatures control the spread of southern plant species that are currently expanding northward. The presenter mentioned the County Level Minimum Temperature Explorer that allows you plot the number of days below freezing for your county, the coldest minimum temperature for the year, and the warmest minimum temperature. It will also tell you the rate of change by decade for the county of interest. The site graphically displays data back to the 1950s showing whether it was colder in the past for your particular area.
