Out west is very snowy and cold. My friend said he was out all day yesterday boasting vehicles that wouldn’t start in Alberta’s minis 25 C temperatures. I guess we are in for a total flakey winter, whatever that means. Edited November 12, 2020 by Strong Farmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manotickmike Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Another year of record freeze and thaw cycles? Mother Nature sure has been flaky. Government weed smoking flaky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signfan Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Please not again. Nothing more depressing then 25 mm of rain 3rd week of January. Then again third week of February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be snow but have to get out right away to ride it, in D5 anyways . Frozen ground going to be hard to come by in south this winter. O2 sled seems to think we are in line for a few Polar Bear vortex’s this winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear one comes with 4 feet of snow like a hurricane does with heavy rain and can’t see nothing for a good 36 to 48 hours.

stoney Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 If I recall the last time we had a good Polar Vortex, it was too cold to snow, not the ideal situation.....and of course they were in Jan and Feb vs. Dec when they are really needed.

My friend gets polar bear ones that come I. Drop 16” of sugar snow and then cold funnels in afterwards and swirls it all up. He is close to hay river in Alberta. So I was hoping we get something similar here, but it has been since I was 5, that we last had a blizzard here, that closed roads and snowed us in.

Ox Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) '78 was a good year eh? LOL! IDK aboot y'all's Polar Vortex's, but in 13/14 you could see a winter map from NOAA that essentially showed Michigan as dark blue. It wreched down just enough accrost the Ohio line to catch me too. LP in short supply, so we fired up two pellet burners that we hadn't been using to heat farm house and shop. I could still git LP, but I had other options, so I went the other route so some old couple didn't run out on my account. I had snow piled everywhere! edit: We kept puting off our last ride to Wawa in March b/c is was still so bloody cold! I figgered that one of these days -20 was going to turn into +5, so as the calendar kept Marching on, I kept gitt'n nervous... We finally went the end of March 2014, and it was still very cold, and the one night that we were out 'till 2am, the sky was so clear that you could see more stars than you knew was possible. Just as dense as a good night at 13,000' in Colorado! There were so many stars that you couldn't begin to see constelations. ... and yet it was so cold that it was condensing snowflakes out of the tad bit of moisture in the air anyhow.... This was just the beginning @ Jan 7th: Edited November 17, 2020 by Ox 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
