Weather Winter has arrived?

JOhn · 10-05-2009, 02:52 PM

Well looks like winter has arrived a little early this year. After a cool wet spring, very short summer and a non existent fall, it started snowing yesterday morning. Woke up this morning to about 6 inches of snow, and more coming down. Still under a winter weather advisory for this afternoon, and looks like Bwana is under a Blizzard warning. After the summer we had, I'm afraid it's gonna be a long cold wet winter.

Funny thing is there are still a few tourists in town and you would have thought the world was coming to an end. Had enough snow & wind to cancel flights in/out of Cody airport today, and several of the roads in the area are also closed.

So how's the rest of our upper US CP members fairing with this storm?

I'm fearing a bad winter here in KC. Nothing like you northerners, though. We only had about five days of temps above 90 this summer. That's unheard of in these parts.

It's 91 degrees outside my house right now. Just picked up my son from football practice. I've been hoping it would get cooler.

Yup, been snowing since yesterday with high wind advisories. Not much has stuck in town, but 100' higher has a few inches.

Allow me to jump in with the obligatory "80 degrees and sunny here" post.

Somebody had to do it.

Winter is my favorite season by far.

My dad and a friend headed to Billings this past weekend for a week-long fishing trip. Bad timing.
