Since last Thursday. Let up for about ten minutes... there was a hole in the cloud. S'posed to snow until sometime Wed. There was at least 18" of snow on my car this morning.

Supposed to start here tomorrow night. Only 3-5" forecast, but then brutal cold for days. Expecting water main breaks because the cheap, lazy rednecks did not build this place for the brutal winter weather it's known for.

18" more on top of the 20" already on the ground?

I hope your new home has better weather!

Three feet of snow used to be nothing around here and no, I'll hang around the snow zone because I don't mind it so much, it's the bitter cold I have a hard time with these days. We've also been in the single digits both sides of 0 for the whole month, so far but it looks like next week we'll be having a heat wave of sorts with temps in the +40s.

But until then we'll probably get at least another ten inches. Hell we got a good foot during the day today. It's Montana, it used to snow like this for a good part of the season.

I don't mind snow either. I just don't go out in it. Not driving cars in salt!

Stay warm & ty again for sharing this great forecaster!

-10 to -30F is really cold. Was -37 at my buddy's place last week.

East of me is where that arctic wave is, now. We were in it for a few days but it's pushed east of us, the rest of the sate is well into double digit sub zero temps with heavy snow. Those are the storms I used to like because I don't mind being snowed in for a few days, that's why I moved here.

Now I'm old and moving to a slightly less severe winter area sounds like a good idea.

With much colder wind chills. I refused to leave the house on those days.

Great memories sitting around watching kids playing Super Mario games. Lol

Enjoy!
