Sorta starting to get me worried this winter so far. No snow really, just had the 446 out once so far. What’s got me worried is, we had a winter like this in 2015. No snow until January 27. Then the big whamie, feets of snow from February to May. It was nasty.

Yah , me too the great lakes temperatures are well above historical averages . Not quiet as high as 2015 , but close . Everyone remember the Blizzard of 2015-16 where the north east got buried. Well the water temp was 10F greater than historical average . 2022 is about 7 for the month of Dec. No ice pack , warm water , cold winds from the north = lots of Lake effect snow . What we have seen so far is what I beleave we will have more of . major snow falls followed by big melts . I am glad we live on higher ground . This years essentials will be snow shoes and PFDs , possibly in the same week .
My 2 cents , you may keep the change .

Flash floods are nothing to play with hope it doesn’t get to bad.

@DavidBarkey we still have a lot of open ground around here. Prices are up right now like everywhere. Just depends what you’re looking for!

Was just kidding . We have been very fortunate with our weather that it has been quite moderate . Everyone else seams to get it worse than us , be it cold, hot , winds or storms . But if I am able to travel again , wouldn't mind visiting some of the areas to the south again.

Hear too Harry , we bought a fixer upper on 2 acres a little more than 10 years ago for $210,000 . It now has a market value of close to a million . When the market heats up again , it will go over that . The only down side to that is with increased value come increased property taxes .

Was in the mid 40s yeasterday and will be in the low 50s F with rain today . The ducks are loving it , but I hope the can swim . It is going to look like the s pens from across the road . out back today .

Well here we go again Weatherman says 8-10" for the next 2 day total. It is coming down heavy 4" in the last 2 hours, current temp is 21f. It is supposed to stop later (by radar 1.5 hrs) then wrap around and get us again tomorrow Looks like I will be getting plenty of tractor time

It still nice and mild here for now and going to stay that way for a bit yet . Other than it being at the temp where it's just damp out it has been good .

Send me the snow you can keep the rain!

We’re still really mild 8 hours south of you @Gordy

Mid 60sF today with the 10 day forecast in the mid 40s to 50. I’ll sure take it!

Been raining on and off all day here in central WI.
Had about a half to three fourths of an inch of slushy ice this morning. Supposed to change to snow tomorrow. The foot of snow we had before Christmas is mostly gone.
