Merry Halloween from Wisconsin. Woke up to 4 inches of wet snow. Nobody is very happy about it.

I still love to drive around in it in my Jeep.

Winter tires on both vehicles...…



Confidence in being prepared for another winter....

[CanDB]

Went for our evening walk, the dog and I. Some of us complain about winter a bit more than we should, but this eve is the kind you picture in those old poems, where they describe softly falling snow, with a calmness and warmth that winter can bring, even when outdoors. In my life there have been easily a couple of thousand winter evenings like this, and each time I embrace them....as I would a perfect summer's night.

It's a balmy 6° here in the northeast Texas Panhandle......

We've been getting a tiny bit of snow almost every day. It's sunny/clear, and then we see snow flying....and then it's over. I kind of don't mind it, even though we do not need any more precipitation this year. The Red River is high and moving fairly quickly, given it can be seen with snow on it, and even some ice on the edges.

But here's the dilemma, if the ice freezes soon, and as the water below drops as it will, there will be a situation with ice formed well above the top of the river. In other words, ice, with a gap below. That is dangerous, and will be detrimental to those who think it safe to walk on, play on, and definitely snowmobile on.

No snow. Don't want snow or ice.

[Saddletramp]

No snow. Don't want snow or ice.

Pretty sure you don't get a vote.......

[Jaws]

Strong northerly winds, rain by the bucketload and a possibility of snow, it's too early in the season for this!
