tony b Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Not exactly what we're used to for Halloween. It will likely deter most of the trick-or-treaters! Only the 5th time in IA recorded history of snow in October. The 4th time was on Monday! Twice in one week. Monday's snow was mostly melted by yesterday morning, so the snow in the pictures is all from yesterday afternoon, evening and into this morning! I wasn't ready for this yet! It's not supposed to snow until AFTER Thanksgiving! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Open a snow cone stand in front of the house, lemon, (maybe not lemon), razzberry and everyone's favorite blueberry. You'll be rich, do it quick before the snow melts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not supposed to snow until AFTER Thanksgiving! It was 84 degrees on Halloween, nasty thunderstorms and a couple of tornadoes in the area (thankfully none got too close for us). But a massive cold front came in behind it and we had 38 degree by the next morning. LOL...I'll still take that over all that white stuff (whatever it is....HAHA).

We won't see that (hopefully) until after the new year. But, this artic blast headed our way early next week is going to get down into the single digits at night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) I spent a good portion of the day clearing snow off the deck, we had 4 inches overnight and it started up again in the later afternoon. I couldn't believe my ears when the radio said it will feel like -14C overnight, my carrots are still in the ground and I need to plant my garlic for next year.

tony b Posted November 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Told you that you were living on borrowed time, MacKenzie! Our last hurray for the season today - actually hit 50F and it's very sunny out now, but a tad windy. Deep freeze arrives Monday - bloody wonderful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 I experienced one of those deep freezes in Montreal in 1997. It wasn’t very fun. Trees snapping over power lines, people freezing in their homes.I am still astounded that so many people choose to live in cold places!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
