J-BAR #18287 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Glad the electricity is still on. Down here we usually lose power from ice breaking down power lines and tree limbs hitting those lines. Hope your luck continues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Just re-enforces my choice to live in Tucson. Don't get me wrong, it's Winter here too. The High today is supposed to be only in the 50s. But they've never had to shut down ANYTHING for too much sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Started snowing here again last night, but not heavily. About 3" this morning and it's still coming down at noon. Temp is 32-33 degs and still, so it's not so bad. Maybe 6" before it's over, added to the 3+" from yesterday. We have been lucky so far. Temps are going to drop to below zero and highs into single digits next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Rick Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 My daughter is currently in OKC on her way back up to Cheyenne. She delivers out of the Wal-Mart distribution center there. Wants to get a place up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Don't need any blizzards, but could someone direct a couple inches of snow to the metro-Denver area? I'll probably regret even mentioning it, but aside from being about 28 degrees F about an hour ago, with a breeze, other than the official total at DIA yesterday, and a few flakes (uh, snowflakes, that is, son), nothing! I'd hate to have to pay over $300 to have my trees deep watered...again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 That sort of scenery is why I left Utah in 1965.. Went back for 9 months in 1969 and never liver there again. Spent 37 1/2 years in Southern California shoveling partly cloudy of my driveways and sweeping slightly overcast of my winshields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the roads get closed, she can stay parked at the Wal-Mart/Sam's Club she's delivering to or the Wal-Mart DC in Cheyenne. Because she's a Crete driver, she also has the option of parking at their terminal in Cheyenne. That why she likes driving out of there - always a safe parking area, not on the road like all the OTR drivers passing through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah Mercy, SASS #29066 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I think y'all got what was left after it pasted us here in northern Wyoming. 2 1/2 days of blizzard warnings, and we have some of those beautiful sculpted banks in our yard, too! Interstate 90 was closed for over a day, as well as a bunch of the highways. Semis were getting stuck right in the middle of their lanes, and the driver of one whined about the roads not being plowed. He didn't know how to respond when he found out he was only ten minutes behind the plow! We got a little over two feet just south of Sheridan, and we're looking at those horrid low temps this coming week as well. But like others, I hope it convinces some of the recent transplants (at least the ones littering our walking paths with used needles, and driving our property crime rates up over 200% in the last 18 months) to move to sunnier climes.

That exactly what I say , Bring it on ! looking at single digits and negative lows -17 next week . Need these transplants to decide here isnt for them . . I see Sheridan becoming another Jackson Hole . LOL I saw a review from some liberal chick on the Mint My comment is sorry I dont Want to be in a Hippie hole , and dont mind telling them that . Families been here since 1870 , had some play in Johnson County war , Love the Bighorns and Black Hills , spent a few summers in Kaycee working riding Rodeo. Before I left back into Military , have a invite to come back up and spend a week up and away from everything this spring summer so might do that as I really need to get away from everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Drifted in again along with more snow overnight from that storm. Snow blower is all gassed up to clear another 10 to 12 inches off the driveway, but the snow plow went by. Again. And left a LARGE pile across the front of my driveway. I live on a corner, so I get the benefit of the other street's share as well. Looking out over the road, into the South Nation Wetlands Reserve, it looks like a fairy tale. I'll have to take some pictures. After we clear the drive, the walkways, deck and around the generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I miss being on western Michigan. Here we get cold and little snow. Here is a pic from opening day at the cabin up north. Chance of lake effect. Wasn't snowing when I walked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-25 was closed intermittently due to high winds and rollovers. It's the price one pays for living in the best state, Wyoming. Wind blew 30-40 mph for the entire week, sucked the heat out of the house and office at work. Wind has finally subsided, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
