Thanks a lot NW- you sent the cold weather over here now!
Yesterday afternoon I was outside sitting in a blind trying to make it until dark- last of late season hunting. It was snowing like crazy when I went out and I snuggled in thinking "This isn't bad". It snowed quite heavily and added up about 2 inches in no time coating the trees. Within another few minutes the wind came up and the temps plummeted. Talk about blowing snow! It kept making snow devils and was blowing the snow off the trees. It kept dumping down on top of me. I stayed out until 4:30 and gave up- just too danged cold.
It was predicted to get down to about 8 degrees F. This AM on the back deck it read -8F. Well in there defense for the prediction, they didn't say above or below zero. What makes it worse is the 20 mph wind, but that is finally dying down. Today cold- high of 10 tomorrow snow changing to sleet and by Wed almost 50. The weathermen around here will just need to start using NW for predictions- we are just a couple days behind.
Nice and balmy in my office this AM- in the work side this time of year 55, and the unheated side 32.
