Surviving Minnesota!

It seems as though the Dakotan's are in for 6 to 8 inches of white stuff ?

From what I’m seeing at present, the current threat is 6-11” I am not ready for the warm to go. ​

What warm? The high here was 55°F at 1:40 AM. It is currently 33°F and still dropping.

Morning . Rain coming this afternoon plus colder this weekend . Ralphie is sharing the cold with us . Got tires on Janet's care yesterday . Went the cheap route . 4 tires from the Auto salvage yard / junk yard . $185 for a set of 4 B tread wear plus $100 to have them put on . So cheaper than a $1000 or so for new . Just a retiree pinching pennies .

The life of us oldsters..

Raining now. Leaves are turning brown. White fungi in the forecast.

not sure if it froze or not last night. I haven’t been to the garden to see.

The cukes were already dead as were the tomatoes. The pumpkins will be the final arbitrator as to whether we had frost or not.

Our forecast has 32 degrees for the next couple nights as our low. Snow on Saturday. Which is better than Togo forecast where there is 5 days of snow forecast. I am headed to Togo tomorrow for a couple days, I need to pull the dock brush hog the driveway and just get ready for winter.

Yes, I procrastinated a tad.

It was reasonably warm here for a couple of weeks, a couple of months ago... Sixteen degrees when I got up at 4am. Still sixteen. Maybe there’s an inch and a half on the ground so not as bad as it could be, but it’s still snowing.

I confess I feel the same, but I think it’s headed your way. We’ve got at least another day of it, but it doesn’t look like that’s gonna slow down the inexorable march eastward. It’s gotta be global warming... causing global cooling. It does that—don’t dare deny it or you’re a science-hating heretic.

It is 18°F here this morning. With the 2 1/4" of Ralphie's white fungi through the night, I am up to 4" total and the spores are still coming down.

I found this:

It appears the banana belt will remain fungi free!!!!
Sure glad my name isn’t Holm...

Have I ever mentioned how I hate scraping windows at 6 in the morning? Because I do. Hi, MNers.

Speaking of North Dakota, what did you do to @ketojenn . Her last post was in this thread on August 14 in response to your chicken killing dog post.
