As an old panda, who likes to tempt fate with a little snow shoveling, it’s been a zero snow year. I’m a little sad. Us old coots want to die, face down in a snow bank, not some hospital bed.
Honey looks out the window … ‘’Why is he taking a nap? He hasn’t finished the driveway.’’
I live in the Northeast and it has been a fabulous winter so far. Supposed to get to 57 today. I’m watching some weather reporter in Atlanta, GA who is obsessed with having 4 feet or more of snow here!!! She should move to Canada instead of living in GA!!!
A friend of mine visited an empath, or whatever, and seemed quite impressed that the person had “divined” or “sensed,” that A: “Sometimes you feel alone.” and B: “Sometimes you feel that you don’t get enough credit for. what you do.” That’ll be fifty dollars, please. (This was the late 70’s, it sound cheap.)
When I first moved to Colorado Springs in ’94 we had afternoon thunder storms most summer days and a fair bit of snow every winter.
Thanks to climate change we’ve seen a fair bit of change in the weather patterns here, mostly leaning toward drought conditions.
Last summer we had very few storms of any kind… so the drought goes on. And it continues on into the winter. We’ve had very little snow this year, right up until last night. This morning I woke to several inches and more forecast for today.
It won’t last though, not with temps in the high 40’s and low 50’s in the forecast for the next five to seven days and little to no precip.
I just got back in from a bike ride. It still manages to get icky on the weekends, but not cold enough to snow. Haven’t had a flurry all year and the daffodils have been up since the last week of January.
Twin Cities Mn. When I arrived in 1967, standard Mn Winter was:
- sweaters by 01 Sep.
- lined jacket and gloves by 01 Oct.
- 1st snow that stuck at the end of Oct (Halloween snow) and beginning of parka weather.
- by mid Nov, solid snow on the ground, harsh Winter conditions that lasted until sometime in April. First -0⁰F night.
- end of Nov, temp below 0⁰F in daytimes until first week of Jan.
- in Jan, 3-day chinook (day temps above 40⁰F), then back to solid -0⁰F until mid to late Feb.
- mid to late Feb, 1st day above 0⁰F.
- mid to late March, 1st day above 32⁰F, 1st night above 0⁰F.
- late Apr, early May, last night below 32⁰F
-mid to late May, first flowers showed their shoots, trees budding.
Since the mid-1980s, that all has moved up the temp scale by 35⁰F. This year we had our 1st -0⁰F night just 3 weeks ago. Jan chinook was a high of 80⁰F.
But climate change is a lie. Just ask the reporters at Fox.

We didn’t have winter this year. Just a single cold snap that lasted a few days.
