Well, it was a matter of time - 80F yesterday afternoon, breezes from the south and this morning the wind shifted around, bringing the cold. It's been dropping steadily through the morning, now at 42F with a "Feels Like" of 33F. I'm thinking it's Dave's fault, sending his cold my way trying to get rid of it :LOL: Last I looked Sioux Falls was 34F, feeling like 23F :( Too early for this!!
it's supposed to hit here tomorrow sometime with highs in the 60s and low in the 40s and that will be a welcomed sight
I guess if I had to choose between that cold front and what's coming up the coast towards Upstate NY, that front would win - and might just change all the predicted rain to some ug-el-ly white drifts. Home is in NY and about 1/8" from where MA and VT meet:(
Are you ready???????
Except for filling my truck and a couple generator gas cans - yepQuote:

Well, we got Snow here last night-the Wife is on her way to Ft Collins, CO (to visit Grandchildren-did I mention that Grandmothers have a disease? It's called Grandchildren-on-the-Brain and it's definitely terminal)-I know they got about 4" up there last night, so I am little nervous as she is going over Vail Pass and through the Eisenhour Tunnel (11,000')-thank Gawd for 4wd-
The cold should be hitting VA in a couple of days.. I was really hoping to paint my current project before it got cold. I guess I'll have to wait until spring.
Only thing 4wd is good for around here is getting run over ! We use it so little that they forget that just cuzz you can go,doesn't mean ya can stop !:confused: And of course this is Soccer Mom SUV capitol of the world.Quote:

I've live in the Rockies and on the Gulf Coast and I prefer neither hurricane nor snow.
Hey Dave, good luck to y'all thru this mess.
sandy is suppose to come on shore close enough here to make it real interesting. then it is suppose to turn into frankenstorm and hit north of us. everyone north of me please stay safe. Charlie's base is already on alert for it and norfolk is at alert status 4. they are closing all of our tunnels in the eastern part of the state for a few hours tonight to test the flood gates.
Hope everyone stays safe and well with Sandy bouncing around...
We're expecting a 6.5' swell with a 15 second period later this afternoon.
Which is great for some of us!!!:toocool:
to coin a phrase...
SURFS UP!!!
Down here close to the Gulf they describe the West side of the Hurricane as "the clean side" and the East side as "the dirty side" .
This has pretty much been the case in all of the storms that I have witnessed here in Texas so good luck to all of you no matter
which side you end up on.
