Winter is coming.....

Half way through February and we are getting our first real cold wave of the winter.

We’ve got some negative temperature nights coming, here, too. But what we really need is a couple blizzards. This winter has been so dry that there was a small wildfire last month. If we don’t get a break in this drought the summer fires in Colorado’s front range are going to be epic.
 
We won't hit above freezing temperatures until Wednesday.
I thought I was in The South?


27 days and counting.
 
I've got about six inches of snow at my place. Katie has 11 over at theirs nearer to the city.

The Springs has been even dryer. We need a wet Spring badly....
 
NorCal's been way too dry, too. I think that basically much of NorCal is going to be chaparral and semi-arid as the forests die and burn off w/changing climate. It's going to be like the Southwest - drought occasionally interspersed with monsoon-level storms. We've had four inches of rain through now this wet season, and that's less than half of what used to be on average.
 
100+ car pile up in Dallas-Fort Worth last night.
Multiple fatalities. :cry:
 
We're getting the first snow in the valley this winter and it's going to be a full on winter mix of snow, ice and freezing rain.
It's become a tradition to watch the mayhem unfold on the local news in a city that doesn't use salt, has like 1 snow plow and thousands of clueless drivers who all need to be out when it starts coming down.
 
There's about 1.5 feet of snow on the ground here in Chicago. Winter came here a while back. It's sticking around. And I'm fucking sick of it.
 
5F (-15C) here this morning and a light dusting of snow. Mornings like this one make me glad I am working from home instead of the 60 mile drive on icy roads to Denver.
