Burrrrr,,,,,,,first day of -F temps.

shouldn't need to worry about a white Christmas this year; this morning it looks like this out on the highway which was closed for a while earlier this week:

Drive carefully and stay safe

Wow, not sure where you are located, but that is a pretty sight, at least from a southerner. We get mostly ice here, and the occasional snow event. It is usually gone in a day or two.

Oklahoma's ice and snow events rarely stick around for more than a week. I've seen snow in the shadows stay for a good long while, but everything else usually dissipates within a few days. It's been probably five years since we had snow on the ground for more than a month.

MM's pic reminds me of when I lived in Chaffee Co., CO. Everything is in black and white for six months of the year. The whole outdoor world is monochrome. Makes me want to put a log on the fire and take a nap....;)

Cut and paste from another thread.

Add about 15 feet of snow to Moe's picture and you can envision what I endured in the snow belt along Lake Michigan about 40 years ago. Oh, yeah. Be sure to add in the drifting that occurs with those 50 mph breezes as they waft in from the lake, which is about forty feet below your normal elevation on top of the bluff. Winter driving is from a short tunnel into a long tunnel turning left into another long tunnel then a right into a short tunnel before turning left again into a long tunnel before turning right again into a short tunnel that opens into a parking lot. But, is it the correct parking lot?????

Or one about lowballers or survey brokers attempting to drive us into bankruptcy.

There were flakes in the air today but most melted upon contact. Some stuck to cold surfaces such as metal roofs. About 20 miles to the north there was enough to track a rabbit. We are headed about 35 miles to the south tomorrow.
