Snow Sunday. Hard Winter

[ABR]

Kootenai Electric is having some real trouble with power delivery.

Power has gone down 5 times within the past 24 hours and went down again about an hour ago.

Wicked combination in this weather if one doesn’t have a generator or a wood stove.

I have a WH generator but truly miss my wood stove.

If you want to look into options to get one put in let me know. I'll give you my contacts number, dude is a very good and he has been giving people I recommend to him great deals and getting them worked into his schedule faster. Fully licensed and insured.

Funny, We are actually having a thaw.
Wore shorts for the first time on the first day of winter taking the dogs for a hike.
Since November 1, it has been in the teens almost every morning
Weather patters sure are strange.

I was planning to look into a WH generator myself. It will probably be later this year though. Trying to get a condo sold in Arizona to put the money into my workshop/garage as well as the generator. Right now I just have a portable gas generator for emergencies. That said we have been lucky so far and haven't lost power. I was out of town on business a couple of months ago when a big wind storm blew through and my wife lost power while I was gone. Fortunately that wood stove just keeps on kicking!

Series of heavy storms coming in from the south here this evening, Sunday, and Monday.
Will dump heavy water laden snow in our Wasatch (Western edge of the Rocky Mountains)
I’m at 5,000’ in the east Salt Lake Valley bench.
Gonna teach my 12 year old daughter to use the snowblower if we get a lot

Doubt it’ll reach Idaho?

At least not in the Panhandle. Our forecast shows fog/clouds for the next 4-5 days with only a slight chance of precipitation.

Already snowing pretty good here at 5,500 feet in the Pine Valley Mountains!

75 yesterday and today in Texas but wild and rainy weather predicted for tomorrow. We had a couple of single digit days the week before Christmas and shirtsleeve weather leading up to New Years. I guess we need to take 'em when we get 'em. Stay safe!

Snowed so much and heavy wet snow here
The resorts Alta and Snowbird had to close because if the massive amount of wet snow
Dangerous avalanche conditions
Snow should cease tomorrow AM
Way above average N Utah snow this season

Here in Elk Ridge (South of Provo at 5400 feet) it was going between rain and snow since Friday and today around 10am solid snow since. Have about a foot in the driveway with the bottom couple of inches heavy slush. It's going to be a real adventure with the blower in the morning.

Snowiest Dec in Salt Lake City since 2007 and since I moved here
Of course the drought will officially continue
Northeast has likely beaten bigger records

At least three feet where I am in the last three weeks. Woke up surprised this morning after another four inches overnight. It's a great start to winter. Let's hope it keeps up.

Practically nothing here in the Treasure Valley this year so far.

Just saw the weather for Boise
Really is mild there
5 - 10 degrees colder at night would bring a lot of snow since it rains

Really nice there

Really not much different than where I used to live in CA. So much for the "weather weather weather" canard. No pig hunting though, and I do miss that.

If I start hearing "drought" I will be inviting that person to my house to shovel paths to my chicken coup and greenhouse. Not only was it 18" deep but the first 6" of it was super high in water content (as in very heavy).

The Pineapple Express hitting CA with major rain is bringing Utah that heavy wet snow
Will arrive here again tomorrow night through Friday morning

Hopefully weakens along the way

Looks like a lot of snow coming to southern Utah Mountains starting this evening. Supposed to snow all night, all day tomorrow and Monday!
