Winter has arrived to the pan handle.............

After no snow so far all fall, fall/winter made up for it by snowing over a foot and a half of snow from about 2 PM yesterday to early this AM. Part two as predicted has been the morning temp of 20 that during the day has gotten colder to the current 13. While no more snow is predicted for the next few days, its supposed to get colder than its been since 2004.
How does a low of 3 above tonight with a high of 6 tomorrow sound? By Monday, a bit nippy at 8 to 15 BELOW zero with a high of 3 above and with the winds of the approaching front, wind chill temps of 40 below zero are expected. It isn't supposed to 'warm up' until late next week when a "warmer" cold front moves in and with it the next chance of snow.
Already just today, there are several inch to over a foot long ice sickles hanging off the roof line.
I like the ones that look clear but with speckles from other water drops that have frozen on the main ice sickle. They look pretty cool to me. No pun intended!
Other news of importance was brother Michael's call saying that he is cancer free at this time! GREAT Christmas news!!
A short post this time as we're supposed to be going to a 'get together' in about an hour. I'll post again later. Tad

February 1st

Just as with the last post I wrote, Stacy is again down in Boise for meetings. This time two days of different types that she was wrangled into going for when the supervisor didn't want to go. These are some high end "department head" meetings and state wide commissioners from the state are there too. Stacy does feel a little out of place but she should do well in any event. It was winter again over the weekend, we woke up on Saturday to a light snow. It wasn't sticking then and it snowed all day without any staying on the ground. Overnight into Sunday it got cold enough and started to stay. Got almost two inches and it snowed all day yesterday too. Actually it was nice. Stacy had to drive over to Spokane (2- 1/2 hours away) for her flight to Boise and when she called she said it was slow going much of the way towards Coeur d' Alene then the snow became rain from before that area on. It is usually colder here than Sandpoint (because of the large lake there), and S...

Just an update

It is getting more like fall to winter now in our area. All the weather forecasts give the possible snow levels and altitudes in the recordings. The temps have been in the low 50's for the past week which is the normal temp range. It has warmed up at night to the low thirties from the low twenties of last week and earlier this week. Next week it's forecasting only low to mid forties! For the high temps! In looking at photos and the older blogs, last October 27th, 2009, was the first snow of the season back then. Will it snow around the same time this year? Stacy and I are both off work next week because our daughter Laura and her son, the only grand kid so far, will be flying out this Sunday for a weeks visit. Stacy and I are really looking forward to the visit. Last time Laura was here was in the summer of 2006 for a couple of weeks. Quite a lot has changed in her little family since then! And Tyler is 4 years old now so he might do more than sleep or cry as he did last visit!...

Its Fall again!

Although the date this says 'posted' is from a while back, I'm online to type about theses photos and get this posted for you to see today, October 12th! I'd uploaded these and the next post couple of photos fully intending to get right back to it in a day or so, it just didn't happen like that. Stacy's father took a trip to California to visit family out there and since he was gone (he's getting back tomorrow night) we've been very busy working at home as well as stuff going on at work. So it's been busy, busy, busy! Stacy left this morning to fly to Boise for meetings (again!) and will be back late tomorrow too. On to these photos; top one is actually on our property, just out back in the forest. The fern was just going yellow to gold then, on this fall morning, it is really golden and rust browns now just a couple of weeks later. Middle photo is a road a little over a mile away in the early evening that I liked with the late day sun on the Aspen ...
