What's the Weather Like in your part of the world Right Now?

[Grams]

Surprise, we have all ready 4-6 inch................ of snow ! and it was not supposed to till 7 this evening...

And it is now going on 8: A.M. It really looks like 6 inc. ! It is 30* now ........

 

[Helen]

Well today is not to bed for us...quite bright, and the roads are clear.
I bet all the animal around here, rabbits, coyotes, deer etc will be so glad to see some grass ....when it is visible once again!
White is so boring!!! :)

 

[APAK]

ByGrace: You know animals leave tracks in the snow....good for hunting....or you could just search for snowshoes (hares) or cottontails in the snow...they do leave different tracks....that could be entertaining.

Hi there.
Well for that we don't have to go far...the tracks of all are both in our front yard, and in the back alley. Thankfully no bears though...they are wisely sleeping ha!!
My husband sees lots of tracks when he takes the dog three times a day.
For myself, I don't much get "entertained" being outside in 20 degs below freezing!!! :)

Bless you....H

 

[Grams]

Well, its a few hours later and we are still getting snow !

I thought the children were out in it , because I seen a heart shape and a few other shapes , it turns out to be the ducks or geese
doing this..... how funny that was !

 

[Helen]

Haha! I hope you took a photo Grams.

ByGrace:
I guess you might need to plug your vehicle 'in.' I do know what that temperature feels like as I once felt my toes stinging badly wearing thick winter socks and bunny boots inside a truck with no heat (thermostat malfunctioned). I guess hunting would be out of the question as a rifle with bullets, can easily lock/freeze up at that temperature...stay indoors in the heat and do some cool chat sessions then..:cool:

Bless you...

Yes we always plug into a block heater when it gets below minus 15. It is better for the engine when starting.

I too know what freezing is all about too. We once hit at deer at MINUS 42 on a back woods country road. Plus it was 4.30am. We were headed into town to catch a greyhound bus.
Hitting the poor deer stopped our van dead...
I did really believe that "this was it".
But obviously it wasn't "it". :)
An oil rig truck came along ... who would have thought anyone would be on that empty road at 4.am..in the dark. ( well actually 5am , because we had already sat there for thirty mins getting colder and colder.. )
I learned then ( as you would have done) that freezing to death is NOT painless.
This was 35 yrs ago, and before any cell phones, plus, even if there were, that far into the backwood wilderness there would be no cell signal.

The plan God has for you, aye. We forget this when our attention is set on living and surviving...and not wanting to die. I'm glad God made you a positive instrument of encouragement for other people. I've seen this effect on this site already.

Bless you,

29C fine all day. And Grace, what an awesome story of God's goodness. But rather you than me. I don't know how you folk can live in snowbound suburbs and towns...I'd move to Florida with APAK and the alligators.

 

[Grams]

Well, no ByGrace I do not have a camera any more ! Once we moved into our sons house the children took over a lot of our stuff.

8 of them to help them self ! But the older ones now know better ! With 8 grand children all sorts of things going on.

We are in the 20's now and the high will be 32............ and we are getting more snow, up to 3 more inches......

Sure want spring to come !!!!!!!!!!! :)

OH! I did not think they could make it out of the drive way yesterday.
but they did , so there are tracks left over from yesterday.... But my son
had to go to work.....

And today, school 's are closed around here.........

Thankyou, that is very generous. But "down this way"...don't you mean "up"?

It's a relative term..down and over relative to North America. and up and over relative to NZ/Oz....;)
