First snow and 20s temps Sunday N Utah

They are saying maybe rain and snow starting Sunday here in the North. I don't think we will see that much yet but who knows?

My first winter here 3 years ago we got snow in late October and just little spits of it the rest of the season. Last year we got a good bit more but nothing crazy. Cold temps sure but nothing like people told me it was going to be.

This will be my third winter. Maybe I'll see what the buzz is about finally since this is supposed to be akin to Siberia or so people have told me.

39 degrees in Brianhead at 8:30

My lawn sprinklers get drained and blown out with air tomorrow. Irrigation was shut down a week or so ago. Tractors and cars have block heaters and battery chargers on board.

I'm hoping/praying for a ****e load of snow this winter.

This last winter was our first up here, just south of CDA. We didn't think it was bad at all. A neighbor who has lived here for 30 years said it was one of the heavier and colder winters he has seen.

I haven’t blown out sprinklers. Do ok, even with close to 0 temps.
Will shut water to them off.
Outdoor spigots are anti freeze types
Heater on to basement as well so never had frozen pipes

Interesting.

Something fun I like to do is go downtown CDA and watch people drive through parking lots. It scrambles my brain watching the so called locals slipping and sliding everywhere.

At the Super 1 here in Athol there is a sharpish turn into the parking lot and the road is kind of narrow. When I'm bored I will grab a cup of coffe and sit and watch people slid into the sign or into the ditch.

I keep telling myself that if the weather was actually any worse people would be dying left and right.

I might just go downtown and entertain myself this winter eating lunch and watching.

I found it interesting that there was a running count last winter of how many idiots tried to pass the snowplows on the right and crashed into the edge of the plow.

Since there are several of us we could make it an Expatriate Event.

We are just sharing the nice weather.

Even during the dead of winter in snow, kids here wear shorts and a jacket or no jacket.
I’m acclimated to the climate and only wear cargoes, casual leather shoes, and a light jacket most of the time.
Early morning snowblowing, a heavier jacket, spiked boots, and ski gloves

No snow in the forecast, but it froze the last two nights here in south west Tennessee and probably won't get above the mid fifties for the foreseeable future. It probably won't snow until after the first of the year.

Snow isn't really all that bad or hard to deal with except for when I lived in Reno and all the knuckleheads from Commiefornia that would be crashing all over the place and clogging up the roads. Heck, from what I have seen, most Commiefornians can't drive in the rain either.
