Weather change

WOW! What a change, -20 yesterday to +30 today. Last night it snowed and I woke up to 4" of snow. Went out about 11 am and started shoveling. No sooner I start, it started to rain lightly at first then, it came down heavy. It took me an hour and I was soaking wet. The radio reports, the roads are covered in ice.

Last night I talked to a friend of mine out by my remote cabin and he told me it looks like another 2 to 3 weeks before travel is possible. I had really hoped to get out there sooner. It is what it is.

So, I just wanted to keep everyone up on what's going on. Take care.

That's quite a temperature swing! At least you're getting snow. Will your phone work up at the remote property? Hope so. Take care.

Hi hiker, not sure until I get up there. The cell service I had before. I'm hoping my present one works

Jopas onkin - kovin muuttuvainen sää.
Näin se on meilläkin.
Toissa-yönä yli -15 astetta.
Tänä aamuna melkein +-0 astetta.
Lunta vähän...!

Hey John
the freezing rain started at my place about 07:00
about 14:00 we had sunshine, then at 16:00 we had light snow.. What a mess.. Trucks and school buses in the ditch, upside down, etc... Parks hwy closed, lots of fender benders and ditch diving.. Going outside to Colorado for turkey.. and to sample the Engineers fancy liquor locker... Stay dry and warm and have a nice Thanksgiving...

What confused weather we are having... As Old John said the roads are horrid. I was pelted with ice balls till about 5:30 then it snowed 6 inches from there to 8:30 go figure.
Good to see you post.

Hi John, the weather up there sure sounds from one extreme to the next.
When you go to the remote cabin, can you just move in for the winter or will you have tons of work to do there? Do you go back and forth between the two places all winter?
Just wanted to wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving..Enjoy

Bushrat John said...

Hi Dawn, a HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you as well. I could just move in but, it is pretty small. I am putting an addition on it. It shouldn't take long. Hoping to find a helper.

Hi John!
I was traveling in an ice storm and then 7" of snow! Iowa to Texas and the weather was bad the whole time. Am glad to be home.

It is now 41* here in TX and the snow is melting. Will be in the
60's over the weekend! So from
11* to 63* in just a few days.

Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving, John. What will your dinner be?

Take care.

Hi Cotton, thanks, sounds like you had to stay alert driving. 61 degrees? Yikes, seeing as I will be alone, my neighbor and I will grill a couple of steaks, have some stuffing, cranberries, pumpkin pie and enjoy the snow. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving also.
