Had 10 inches of snow Tuesday, now another 10 is expected tonight into tomorrow along with blizzard conditions. Once the storm moves out the high Sunday is forecast at -7. I love January!

Calling for 6 to 12 here and blizzard conditions then the bottom is going to drop out of the thermometer. Got the dogs all fresh straw bought 15 bags of pellets for the pellet stove in the garage when the temps start to dip.

We have been on the edge of the last 2 storms but missed the brunt of both but it doesn’t take much to cause big problems with it being so open.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Not supposed to get much snow in Central IN….some rain and then 1 inch of snow and then 5 days of below freezing temps…a few days single digits or below. Think this will cold after the storm get the dogs moving?

160, that’s right. I have a pair of Steger mukluks, the polar trekkers use them. So do lots of Alaskans. Among the best cold weather footwear available. Good clothes and a beaver hat that covers much of my face when tied down.

Bob, lot of snow, yes, but the insulation is very appreciated.

I’m in a high valley, WM. Around 3000 ft and higher ,varied along the road. Mountains here much higher, of course.

Wind chill is expected to be-50 plus , depending on the micro climates of the state. Sure glad I’m west of the divide.

I am very familiar with them and actually used to fish in front of Will's cabin on Cedar Lake when I worked up in Ely.

Very nice, 160. These are by far the best extreme weather footgear I’ll own. So glad I didn’t keep looking for Bunny boots, though in wetter conditions, those are best. Everyone be safe in this stuff. Gonna spread south and east of here too. Most all states will have cold temp drops.

Hope you got a good pair of snowshoes and a good book to read next to the woodstove.

I do, victor. I learned the advantages of using snowshoes instead of shoveling trails . I shovel very little. Nothing like wood heat. Sty warm yourself, too.
