Looks like we're in for it...

This year is looking dramatically different. We've already had temperatures
below zero throughout the Midwest, we've already had two significant
snowfalls -- with more predicted for today -- and it's not even technically
"winter" yet...

Not sure where it states that it technically needs to be winter for snow
accumulation. :-)

Downwind of a Great Lake where we have already had over two feet, starting
a week before turkey day.

Not sure where it states that it technically needs to be winter for snow
accumulation. :-)

Here's what the place looks like -- and there's more snow on the way!

Gees!.... you've got a LOT more snow than we do! Ground is bare here in a
few spots, the remainder is covered with only 1"-3".

And it's snowing here again right now...

I *knew* we'd pay for that nice, long, hot, VFR-every-day summer!

That is what our forecast is for OH.
The low pressure system is to pass along the TN-KY border.
Our temps are to range from mid-teens to mid-20's.

Big flakes falling right now in the Twin Cities. Much snow on house roofs
and on the ground. Much light fluffy snow so far this year --- oh, and some
freezing rain under all of it, so it's still a little slick out there.

Ten years ago we would have headed out to a State Park for a 2-hour hike on
a postcard day like today. Instead, we'll be heading over to the movies this
afternoon for the (1/2 price) "Super Bargain Matinee" ...$4 for the last
show before 6 pm.

We have a windchill of 76 degrees in the Magnolia state with 25 knot winds.
Brr, may have to break out the wind breaker.

Even managed to get in some approaches LOL today.

Me too. I just got back from doing 6 approaches in a C170B. The further
west we flew the closer that nasty stuff Montblack referred to came to us.
So we kept moving east to stay VFR. Shot one ILS IFR, then headed south to
clearer weather to finish with some GPS and VOR approaches. Ground
visibility was 10. 2000 feet up, visibility was about 5 with light snow.
No ice or freezing rain. I suspect as the evening wears on, the flakes will
get bigger. As I look out the window now, ground vis is about 1 1/2 miles
in a frosty fog with very fine snow falling.

Glad I got some flying in before it got this ugly.

Wait a minute -- this took a while to sink in: What the heck are you doing
in a Cessna taildragger, Jim?
