Had our first frost up here in NW Pa. My black walnut trees are so heavy with nuts that the boughs are bending down! Never saw that before.
Loads of acorns in the woods. Wolly bear catepillars main stripe is dark brown and very wide. My Grandmother always said that indicated a severe winter.
Farmer's Almanac says that we are going to get hit.
Shhhh,, Don't tell the nut jobs down here in the SE, they'll clear out the stores of milk,bread,butter.
Being stuck in the house for a day or two ain't bad though...
If you are in SE PA come to the real SE and see some Katrina style run on stores at the first mention of snow.Quote:

I saw it once, I was in Charlotte NC training some guys a few years back and they had something like 2" of snow, a coating really,,half of them called out... I had to laugh...
THe problem here is the lake effect snow that comes off of Lake Erie when the lake is not frozen. Then we get feet not inches! Same thing happens to Buffalo NY.
Have a friend whose daughter lived in Buffalo, many years ago she walking down the street during huge a snow storm, tripped and realized what tripped her was a street sign, snow had drifter over 7 feet deep.
In case you have to evacuate come join me.

Looks real MEAN!
165 HP, 800cc fuel-injected two-stroke, 450lbs dry, 2.6" lugs on a 153" track. It's not the biggest or baddest sled on the hill by a wide margin, but it gets me where I want to go!
January is tough here too. The Canadians just opened up two more flights a week.

There seems to be a general panic to find cold weather clothing.

HEY, Canadians,,, Close the window your letting the cold air out.!!..geez,,,
Had to break out my bear skin underwear for the first time this morning..
Winter has been a bit nasty around here. Winter storm Atlas destroyed most of our trees with a foot of snow on top of ice before they even dropped their leaves. The tree out my front door split in half about halfway up and the top fell off onto somebody's car. Didn't do much more than scratch the paint tho. We had piles of tree limbs twenty feet tall around town in dump sites and there was a huge rush on chainsaws, bar and chain oil and the like. Had alot of angry people when we ran out of chain saws to sell at work. Most people were understanding though. I believe we are in for a wicked winter. Here in the high desert and mountains we are in for some high winds and whiteout conditions for sure. We have a saying, "Only in Wyo do people go 70 mph on a highway covered in ice, with 1/2 mile visibility and snow flying sideways in a crosswind." It sure does make for great test of skills when you try to shoot in it (not driving of course). Ive found prone to be the only way I can hit anything in the wind after the temps drop below freezing.
Here we noticed the deer had a lot of fat on them.(the hanging ones). A couple in the gang said that was also a sign of a bad winter or as I thought a great summer.Who knows LOL!
Nice pic on the sled.
