New snow gauge working better than old cardboard style that tended to drift against gauge. This was a 6-7° snow event with light wind.
With more chunks of arctic air due (Polar Vortex) over next week temperatures could tank into that Alaska zone -15 -20 below with right conditions.

I actually think that this snow depth tracking by a cam is the most accurate one, because you read the number yourself.

Works well, usually within 1/2" of official readings I take for Cocorahs off snow board.

I was looking at 7 day toward end I see high near 3 next Saturday. Had a feeling the near record breaking fall warmth would get its revenge at least going into winter. 

Thursday Night
 
A chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 3.
Friday
 
A chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 13.
Friday Night
 
A chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -6.
Saturday
 
A slight chance of snow. Mostly cloudy and cold, with a high near 3.

Here it was quite warm the last couple of days, but today we are expecting a cold front to move in and I can already tell because it is very windy.

I'm pretty much hibernating already so no sun bathing for sure.  :-)

I'm with you there.  Had to shovel my way out to the snow board this morning.  Only had 4.9", but the wind has been ugly.  Need to snow blow driveway, but since I don't need to go anywhere today, I will wait until tomorrow.  Hopefully the snow and wind quit by then.

I wish we had a winter like that... in the recent years we did have some very low temperatures as well, but the amount of snow was negligible, and we didn´t have snow during Christmas time for over 5 years already. I remember when I was a small kid, we always had snow in December. And based on the current forecast it does not seem very promising this year. It is still relatively far away, but the current forecast is temperatures around freezing point, but no precipitation.

Had to get in my pool today to adjust a a frame I made to hold up the winter cover. :-(
Had to get in for about 5 minutes up to my chest. Just guessing the water temp was about 50.
BRRRRR!

Clear and cold here this AM. Barometer is climbing and temperature is dropping as HP rebuilds into the area. At 30.63 in/hg and at 25 below zero.  Looks like it could be an 3 dog night by this evening.

Keep ole log on the fire.

Looking at 3-5" snow Friday followed by -18 (-28C). After Christmas I'll be ready for some more global warming.  :lol:

I would prefer your Fri and Sat to mine.  The snow blower does not like 3-5" of snow with a high of 40°.

Agree if 40's is true, probably before it starts snowing, No? I spray inside of my blower with Dupont's Teflon Snow and Ice Repellent. It works for satellite dishes too.
