We had snow last night. It got washed away in heavy rains this morning. Currently, it is quite damp and cold outside. I don't if we will see 45 deg F today.

Yikes! And we need rain so bad.Ivan Seeking said:Rain rain rain rain rain, our creek is a river. A moderate flow is normally about 30 cubic feet per second. This morning it was probably pushing 200 cfs. And it was roaring! Gets a little worrisome because I have foot bridge that badly needs replacing and new anchors set. If we lose the DTV signal, the first thing I'll do is look to see if the bridge is still there.

I hope it stops. Or do they predict heavy snow this winter?Ivan Seeking said:We started late but then the rain came on with a vengence. in fact this is the first time in over 20 years that we've seen the creek come back from just one rain storm. Usually it takes several. Sometimes it's back by mid september but this year it was late October I think... Trying to remember, I think about three weeks ago.
We had flooding in our area last night.

I can remember when my father would send me out with a bucket to fetch DTV signals.Ivan Seeking said:In Oregon, the DTV signal is still carried by men on fast horses.
The antenna is out in the pasture on the other side of the creek.

In HS, all our school had to offer was WWII military-surplus skis. They were quite heavy and the bindings were pretty rigid and crappy. By the time our district could afford some light-weight alpine skis, a couple of us were so strong that we excelled and were top contenders.George Jones said:Lots of snow here in north-central BC. Sunday night, I went cross-country skiing with my six-year-old daughter. It was the first time either of us had been on skis of any kind.
I've been watching the Weather Channel and seeing your snow. I'll never forget the photograph of your home with snow up to the eves.turbo said:Typical Maine winter weather today, swinging between snow and rain with temps in the high 30s. Once all this stuff comes down, it's a good bet that an arctic blast will come in and cement the saturated snow to everything.
We get what we get, When I was a kid, I remember shoveling well over a foot of "partially cloudy" out of our driveway. When I went away to school, my father somehow managed to buy a plow-truck. Fancy that!dlgoff said:I've been watching the Weather Channel and seeing your snow. I'll never forget the photograph of your home with snow up to the eves.
Yes, the Arctic cold front can cause severe weather such as blizzards, heavy snowfall, and strong winds. These weather events can lead to dangerous conditions and potential damage to property.
Yes, the Arctic cold front can cause damage to crops, especially if they are not properly protected. Frost and freezing temperatures can harm crops and delay their growth, leading to potential economic impacts for farmers.
The Arctic cold front forms when a mass of cold air from the Arctic region moves southward, displacing the warmer air in its path. This can occur due to changes in atmospheric pressure and wind patterns.
The duration of the Arctic cold front can vary, but it typically lasts for a few days to a week. However, the impact of the cold front, such as severe weather and crop damage, can last longer depending on the severity of the front.
During an Arctic cold front, it is important to stay informed about weather updates and warnings. It is also crucial to take precautions to protect yourself and your property, such as staying indoors, dressing warmly, and properly insulating your home. Farmers should also take measures to protect their crops from freezing temperatures.
