Great video! I think I could be very happy living in the UP.
Where are you? Very good of you to help out.
In the last two years I replaced my plow truck and tractor with newer equipment. It’s soooo nice now to have reliable stuff. Sucks having to jump start plow trucks, and knowing that the diesel tractor simply will not start when it’s cold.
I now have a 2004 shortbed Dodge chained up on all 4 with a new plow on it. And a brand new Kabota tractor/loader. Yes, I’m bragging a bit.
I went a bit all out on this, including a winch on the rear of the plow truck. It comes in very, very handy.
In the bush on the edge of Thunder Bay, Ontario, on the North Shore of Lake Superior opposite Michigan’s Upper Penninsula’s Keweenaw Peninsula, and at the northern end of the New Orlean’s Highway 61 after it passes through Minnesota. Leavin’ to ski now! Love winter!
Weather Channel is currently predicting 66°, three degrees shy of the 81-year-old record, with a thunderstorm Christmas Eve. That’s ten degrees warmer than where I will be on the Texas Gulf Coast.
rain changing to show Christmas Eve – so its kinda a coin flip.
It’s predicted to be mid-50’s and gloomy in New England. But enough about me – it will also be raining heavily. Mild weather is supposed to persist through the rest of the year, probably.
It looks like it will be too warm here in Chicago.
I’m one of those who wishes for snow this time of year.
If it is going to be cold, I want the white stuff on the ground.
This morning, I was poking around my dead, dead yard.
Everything is so ugly in shades of brown and gray.
In Montreal, it is almost always white this time of year. Current temperature -8C, high tomorrow -6C. But they are predicting +3, +5, +5 with rain for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Christmas Day and the current snow cover is rather thin. I imagine the streets will be clear, but the lawns will still be white.
In all my years living in Saskatchewan, I can only remember one (1) brown Christmas, back in '97.
This year, snow settled in around mid-November, as usual, and likely won’t leave until mid-April at the earliest, so yes, White Christmas.
(Except I won’t be here to see it, as Clan Piper is heading south for Christmas. :))
We’ll have “light” snow Thursday. That could be anything from nonexistent to a foot.
No clue, personally, I’m afraid – but here’s the BBC forecast for York for the next five days
It looks like it’s going to be raining here right up until Christmas Eve, then 50-ish and sunny on actual Christmas day. Any other time in winter, that might be nice, but it sounds dreary for the holiday.
Seems unlikely in the Detroit area. The low temperatures are supposed to be above freezing (albeit just barely) for the next week. Around here, we seem to have a roughly 50% chance of having snow on the ground on Christmas.
Pretty much the same forecast in Ottawa. I only recall one brown Christmas in the 25 years I’ve lived in this area; this could be the second.
22 inches of heavy snow yesterday afternoon and last night. My Wife was first to leave and made it out (Grand Jeep Cherokee).
I rarely plow in the morning. But decided that I had better get a leg up on it. Sooo, I tried to move my Pathfinder (brand new snowtires), and it’s a bit stuck. My Wifes Jeep has a little bit more ground clearance than the Pathfinder, and pushed and packed down the snow. My lower ground clearance hit the packed heavy snow, and that was that.
So, off to the plow truck. Oye. HEAVY snow. Going to have to winch out the Pathfinder.
I’m staying home from work and deal with this today. I have a Kubota tractor, and will move the heaviest of it with that, and then tackle it with the plow.
Glanced at the weather earlier–I think it called for a “dusting”. The temperature seemed a bit too high for that, but who knows.
66F and Sunny in LA.
We usually have a white Christmas here in the frozen north. We do have snow on the ground at the moment, but warm temperatures plus rain are forecast for the next few days, so, unusually, the weatherfolks are predicting a green Christmas this year, probably only the third one I remember having.
We Mainers can usually promise it, but not this year.
Christmas in York looks nice. Hope the niece is having a good break.
