First snow of the year

Well, it came right on time as Labor Day, or a few days before or after, are traditional days to get our first snow here in Montana.
After a beautiful, warm (72º), sunny Sunday, I awoke to several inches of fresh snow and the high temperature Monday was 32º and my low was 21º.
While others are still having "heat waves," I'm chillin' here in the mountains of Montana.
Watching my wildlife, I am predicting a very snowy and cold winter and it's coming soon. Got to get the rest of my firewood cut and stored, so lots of work in a short time.

Sounds like true communion with nature. I envy where you are today.

 

Im in Northern Colorado. It was 100 on Sunday and snowed today with a high of 37. The snow wont stick of course, after being that hot.

 

No pictures of the snow angel you made?

 

Michigan, just rain, carry on ....

 

I'm sorry to say that I'm just too old to do those anymore. If I laid down on my back, I'd probably never get up again. LOL Living alone in the wilderness, I have to be careful of the risks I take.

 

99 degrees predicted here in Southern Oregon today, fires burning everywhere here and to our south, California is burning as well. Smokey valley air and ash covered vehicles. Be happy with the moisture and cooler weather.

 

Mine is stored at the grocery store in a mesh bag. We'll be running the air conditioner on Christmas day.

 

I can remember being in northwest Montana in the summer of 1960 working for the Forest Service.
It was a summer job for college students.
Comes Labor Day and we were heading home for the school year.
Those that had been up high on fire watch said they already had snow.
I worked down in the Eureka area so we hadn't seen snow.

As an aside, I worked out a little town named Rexford, pop. 200.
Since then the town has moved.
A dam was built on the Kootenai River and they had to move the town.
Last I saw the population was down to 150.

 

High is expected as 91’F and low will be 74’F in southern Texas in which is near where I live

 

What Randy said goes for me, too. I suggested about 12 years ago that we pick up and move to Wyoming but I got out voted. As I recollect, I had done just a little research on the population density per square mile for each of the contiguous states; Wyoming had the lowest at the time, back in the mid-1970s. Siri tells me that Montana bustles along with 7.27 people per square mile while Wyoming's is 5.92.

We are at 91º here in Baton Rouge at 3:34 PM CDT today.

 

70+ MPH winds and snow flurries in Salt Lake City today. Schools closed. U of U closed. Large trees uprooted all over. Widespread power outages and roof damage. If it was NYC it would be the ENTIRE ABC/NBC/CBS Evening News. As it is . . . just flyover country - yawn

 

Dang. That’s early for snow

 

That's Gnarly, Highway 93 inbtween Golden and Boulder Co. has some huge gust. They close it regularly to large high profile vehicles.

 

Smoke smoke and more smoke, for three weeks now here in Gold Country... and 100 everyday. I’m living in Armageddon.

 

The mountains to the west of SLC, Utah got dusted with snow Sun/Mon. Looked like powdered donuts.

 

Just went outside it dropped from 100 to 70 in 6 hrs. So much for shorts 24/7.

 

That’s early!

 

Do you ever set up game cameras? I'll bet you would have fun with it.

 

70 is still shorts weather. Though I never wear shorts. Just due to my work need the protection from spills and scratches jeans give
