not quite sure what for.....

For your snow blower, of course!



Eh, as much as I dislike being cold, I actually love to shovel snow.

yeah I figured but it was too good a comment to let pass

If this crap don't warm a few degrees this snow so beloved by some is going to become a solid block of ice. Was going to take mom out on a drive to see all the lights since she spent last Christmas in the hospital, but with the risk of falling on ice and the temps I doubt she'll be able to this year either. Typically an early big snow with extreme cold means it's here to stay since any sunny days will have the heat reflected away.

I just noticed as I went out into the Arctic wonderland that a string of roof lights has blown a fuse. Probably the wind whipping the lines around. It did it last year because of wind. I hate these newer friggin fused light strings and what perfect timing for one to go out.

I know some of ya like this crap, but I still say FU****G WINTER SUCKS DOG!!!!

-13 wind chill this AM, Hope you get to look at the lights, gobs, an gobs, of nice houses ! Bundle up, and I hope the solar helps a little more today.

Looks like a slight warmup ahead. Mom may get to go on a light looking drive yet.

Cedar bluff will have their lights on this weekend and next. The snow should make a nice show.

Does that include friday?

Where do they have the Cedar Bluff show? Yeah I know, at Cedar Bluff. Is it worth the drive? Went to their fireworks once and it wasn't bad for the size.

North Shore. They charge a Dollar per person to see seven miles of lights. Then hot cocoa or cider are available.
We missed last year, but it was worth it in prior years. Your dollar goes to adding on each year. Some rather unique scenes.
Definetely worth it.

I see. Do you drive it in your vehicle? Mom couldn't handle the cold if it's like a sleigh ride, or trailer type deal.

Currently 43 degrees in Goodland. 24 degrees in Hays. Yay snow..

Everywhere you look!!!!!!

I wouldn't mind the cold so much if Goodland wasn't 20 degrees warmer.

Go West, young man, and grow up with the country.

Heavy fog this morning. Yippeeeee! Got to take the kid to work - 40 miles round trip @ 50-55mph... Oh joy! At least it's 32°.

50's in Goodland and Wichita today. 60's in Liberal. Grrrrr.... Mutherfuggin snow

The lights on the Plaza were purty last night. Fog was developing on the drive home. I hope it's not bad this morning, again.

That's a very atypical occurrence.

oh heck I've seen times when we have had mild weather and they have had nasty stuff out west. quit grumbling ya grouchy old fart, you're sounding like the grinch

I expect Goodland to have more cold than us. They're normally cooler summer and colder winter. I've noticed alot of times that the temp difference, and snow amounts, could be dramatic just from here to Hoxie. I know on occasion Northwestern KS ends up warmer on a winter day, but it's not that often. And this cold while not abnormal a couple times through the winter, is well below our normal December highs in the upper 30's and lower 40's.

Does the term "Climategate" mean anything to you? Global warming is a scam.

I figure the weather always goes in cycles and this is no big deal. if it's like this in May or June, then I will get concerned, but it's december and I will just go with it. I can't change it anyway, if I could I would be a rich man.....

My globes were not warm today.

are you saying it is cold enough to freeze the globes off a brass rat?

It sure made them want to retreat.

Now that's frosty balls.

Pretty much over this bitter cold shit. I can handle daytime highs in the upper 20's and 30's but lower than that is too freaking cold.

3:30 AM and Hays shows 21 degrees with no wind. I stepped outside and it felt almost nice.

Idgits over here need to learn to drive for the conditions. On the way home from the kid's work, between I-70/Wanamaker and our little village on Hwy 75, we saw 2 collisions (or the recent remnants thereof) and 8 vehicles in the ditch.... that's within a 15 mile stretch.

It's lovely!

How much snow you get there? My vacation pretty much stunk with all the cold weather. I always feel like crap just sitting around the house. I wish they'd give us spring break instead of vacation at Christmas.

Look at Thursday's weather for Hays.

We've still got several inches on the ground from the Christmas blizzard. We got another 4" or so over night and this morning. There are some places in my yard that have 8" and other areas with 13"...

Come and get it, all you want, free of charge! Someone suggested shipping it out COD to all my friends, but that would require me shoveling and boxing it up to send. I'm so over my love of shoveling snow, this year.

Yeah EP, all I can say about Thursday is Friggin ouch.

Suzy, no thanks, you can keep your snow. It's odd for Hays to be colder than Denver, but kinda odd for Topeka to have more snow than Hays too. My relatives in Southern MO are getting a few inches and Florida has gotta be freaking out with freeze warnings forecast for the Everglades. Hope it kills a few of those friggin pythons off.

Here ya go, Jess and Wilky... bring your kids over to play.



*elementary school

Yeah Suzy i'm sick of this snow. I can't believe their predicting another 4 to 5 inches for ne Kansas plus the bitterly cold. Im wishing that I didn't wish for that white christmas because now im getting sick of this. Everyone here is accusing me of bringing the western kansas snow to the eastern part of the state. I'm just hoping they're wrong with the predicted lows of -15 on friday night and a high of 0.

I know, DX... wind chills expected to be in the -30's to -40's for the kids walk to school! I don't know how they do it in the great white north!

so whats all this fuss about global warming???? everyone here that thinks global warming is real, raise your hand.......... of course the cold doesn't bother me much as I am insulated like a walrus....

Because it's something they live with all winter every year. They showed on the news once how teachers in Russia "conditioned" a bunch of 6 year olds by stripping them naked and dumping water on them outdoors in sub zero weather. They ran around giggling for awhile and then the teachers ran them all back inside. The Russians say they have less illness among the kids because of that.

In the US they'd probably charge the school staff with half a dozen different kinds of abuse. I was surprised they even showed it uncensored on the Wichita news.

I'm beginning to adjust somewhat by only wearing an extra long sleeve shirt instead of a coat when I go to work. It's still cold, but I can tolerate it more now. Maybe the Russians are onto something with that subzero skinnydipping.

I get used to this weather by jogging naked at night.

I'm getting just plain sick of this snow. Its pretty nasty outside right now. I couldn't see to drive home from work. Traffic was moving pretty slow in I-35.

it is down right chilly out there my truck with a new Optima battery had a hard time crankin'
